SaunaLife G11B: a sauna with a same size changing room and porch
The SaunaLife G11B is a two room outdoor barrel sauna kit for eight people. The sauna room and the changing and lounge room are the same size, with a porch out front. It arrives on a flatbed truck, and you need a forklift or crane to unload it. The B version includes black exterior paint that you brush on yourself. At 159.4 inches wide, it needs a broad spot in the yard. SaunaLife designed it, and it is made by hand in Northern Europe. The exterior uses heat treated spruce.
Inside, L shaped benches give you space to sit, and a bronze tinted glass door separates the rooms. The porch comes with benches and tables. Roof shingles and an extra layer beneath them are included. The heater is sold separately, so choose one of the 3 electric heater packages on the page, all 9 kW, each with its control and stones. You can also add a bucket and ladle or wood care products. Prefer a cabin shape? See the SaunaLife GL6B outdoor sauna cabin. The SaunaLife G11B ships from Norse Steam by flat rate freight with No Sales Tax (except WY) and our 100% price match guarantee.

FAQ
What does the B in the model name mean, and do I have to paint it myself?
B means the SaunaLife G11B is the base kit with three containers of PROSAUNAS SaunaShield black exterior paint, and yes, you brush it on yourself after assembly. Follow the paint manual on the Manual tab and apply it only outside, never inside the hot room. The paint expands and contracts with the weather and will need a fresh coat over the years to stay black.
Does this sauna come with a heater?
No, a heater is not included. The Select Heater add-on on this page offers three electric packages, all 9 kW, each with controls and stones. Choose one when you order or buy one later.
What electrical work does it need?
Your property's wiring needs a licensed electrician's assessment, and every heater package on this page requires its own dedicated, hardwired 240 volt circuit. Your electrician must follow the chosen heater's manual for breaker and wire sizing, with buried conduit and a weatherproof disconnect for outdoor runs. These heaters cannot plug into an outlet, use an extension cord, or share a dryer, hot tub, or EV circuit.
What do I put under it? Can it sit on grass or on my deck?
No to bare grass or soil, and a deck is suitable only if it is built to carry the weight at your property. Use a firm, flat, level base such as compacted gravel topped with pavers, a concrete slab, or a suitable deck, and use the 3,196 pound shipping weight in the Specifications tab as a starting point. Grass and soil hold moisture against the wood, while an uneven base can keep the staves from lining up and the door from latching.
How long does it take to assemble, and how many people do I need?
Two people and about two days is SaunaLife's assembly estimate for its cabin kits. The pieces are numbered, and the instructions are on the Manual tab. First-time builders often take longer, and the electrician's visit takes a separate day.
Can it stay outside all winter?
Yes, it is built for year-round outdoor use. In freezing weather, heating often takes 45 to 90 minutes instead of 30 to 45 minutes. Keep the vents clear.
How is it delivered?
It arrives by flatbed truck at a scheduled appointment. You must arrange a forklift or crane to unload it, as the driver does not unload it. Inspect the shipment before signing and note any damage on the receipt.
What is thermo spruce, and how do I look after the outside?
Thermo spruce is Nordic spruce treated in a kiln with heat and steam so it absorbs less moisture, moves less with the weather, and can last up to twice as long as cedar outdoors. It has no resin and a mild toasted smell, and bare wood turns silver gray without that color change affecting its function. On this model, black paint is the exterior finish, so refresh it over the years to keep the outside black.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
It depends on your local rules and HOA, so check before ordering. The dedicated 240 volt circuit almost always needs an electrical permit, and towns may still require setbacks even when a small accessory building is exempt from a building permit. Your HOA may also require approval.
