SaunaLife G3B: an arched sauna pod with a covered front terrace
The SaunaLife G3B is a four person outdoor sauna pod kit. Its arched roof has black shingles and covers a recessed front terrace with a bench on each side. The terrace also gives you a dry place to stack firewood if you use a wood stove. This B version includes black exterior sauna paint that you brush on yourself. Allow for an outdoor footprint of 95.3 inches wide by 86.6 inches deep. Inside, the aspen benches and backrest are free of knots. A bronze tinted glass door lets light into the room and locks with a key.
The kit includes a white LED light bar you can control with a phone app or handheld remote. You also get spare boards for the sauna shell and a bottle of paraffin oil. The heater is sold separately, so choose one of the 5 electric heater packages on the page, from 9 to 13 kW, each with its control and stones. A bucket and ladle and wood care supplies are optional.

FAQ
What does the B in the model name mean, and do I have to paint it myself?
B means the SaunaLife G3B comes with two containers of PROSAUNAS SaunaShield black exterior sauna 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 five electric heater packages from 9 to 13 kW, each with controls and stones, which you can choose when ordering or buy later. For a colder climate, choose a higher kW option from the list.
What electrical work does it need?
Your property and heater choice determine the work, so have a licensed electrician install a dedicated, hardwired 240 volt circuit using the heater's manual to size the breaker and wiring. These heaters cannot plug in, share a dryer, hot tub, or EV circuit, or use extension cords. Outdoor runs need buried conduit and a weatherproof disconnect, and the LED power unit mounts outside the hot room in a weatherproof box you provide.
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 an option only if it is built to carry the weight, so suitability depends on your property. Use a firm, flat, level base of compacted gravel topped with pavers, a concrete slab, or a suitable deck, with the shipping weight listed in the Specifications tab. Grass and soil hold moisture against the wood, while an uneven base can keep 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 rating for cabin kit assembly, though first timers often take longer. The pieces are numbered, and the instructions are on the Manual tab. Plan for the electrician's visit on 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 freight truck on a wooden pallet by appointment, and the driver only delivers. The pallet is too long for a lift gate, so arrange piece by piece hand unloading or a forklift for LTL delivery, or a forklift or crane for flatbed delivery. Inspect it 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 heat treated in a kiln with steam, helping it absorb less moisture, move less with the weather, and last up to twice as long as cedar outdoors. It has no resin and a mild toasted smell, and bare wood turns silver gray as a cosmetic change. On this model, the 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 that exempt small accessory buildings from building permits may still require setbacks. Your HOA may have separate approval requirements.
