FAQ
Does this sauna come assembled?
This model ships as a precision-milled kit with interlocking staves that assemble in approximately 4–8 hours with two people and basic tools. No special skills required — illustrated instructions are included.
Does it include a heater?
Please see the "What's Included" list for exact contents and contact us to confirm heater options for this model.
What are the interior dimensions?
See the Specifications tab for exact interior and exterior dimensions. We recommend measuring your intended installation space and allowing clearance on all sides.
Can this barrel sauna be used outdoors year-round?
Yes. SaunaLife barrel saunas are built for all-weather outdoor use. The rounded barrel shape naturally sheds rain and snow, and the kiln-dried Spruce or Thermo-Spruce wood resists warping and cracking in all climates.
What is the warranty?
All SaunaLife saunas include a 5-Year Residential Limited Warranty. See our full policy page or the accordion below for complete warranty terms.

Sauna Co. Policies
Shipping, Warranty & Returns
Shipping & Delivery
Free shipping on all orders within the contiguous United States (lower 48). We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, or internationally.
Saunas are made-to-order and typically ship within 1–2 weeks (some models up to 3–4 weeks with customization). Large units ship via LTL freight on a pallet or crate. Freight delivery is curbside — the driver brings it to the end of your driveway or curb and is not obligated to unpack or move it onto your property.
Transit is roughly 3–7 business days (East Coast) or 7–10 business days (West Coast) after shipment. Inspect before signing and note any damage; report concealed damage within 5 days. Questions: shipping@saunacompanyusa.com · 856-426-8530.
Warranty Coverage
Each SaunaLife sauna is backed by a Limited Warranty against manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use, beginning on the delivery date to the original purchaser. Valid claims receive replacement parts at no cost.
Accessories are not covered. Sauna Co. handles warranty claims directly — submit a claim through our contact page.
Returns & Refunds
Due to the custom-built and handcrafted nature of our products, we maintain a strict no-return policy. We do not accept returns for change of mind, buyer's remorse, or unsuitability after delivery — even for unopened or unused items.
Used, installed, assembled, or tested products; custom or special-order items (size, finish, accessories); and clearance / open-box / final-sale items are not returnable. The only exception is a qualifying manufacturer defect under warranty. Questions before ordering: info@saunacompanyusa.com.
Installation & Assembly
Freight deliveries are curbside only — the driver will not unpack or carry items indoors. You are responsible for moving the product from curbside and for any assembly. Please arrange help or local movers for delivery day if needed.
White Glove or inside delivery (and, where available, assembly) can be arranged before shipment for an additional charge. Ensure the freight truck can access your location and that the path to the install site is clear.
Financing Options
Payment is made at the time of order via the methods we offer — major credit cards, PayPal, and financing partners. Payment processing is handled securely by our third-party processors.
All prices are in U.S. dollars; applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout. Tax-exempt? Provide documentation prior to purchase. Questions: info@saunacompanyusa.com · 856-426-8530.

to a friend
We host big and the E8W fits the crowd while the window keeps it bright and open. Heats evenly throughout. Delivery was prompt and the crate undamaged.
A six-person windowed barrel is a substantial build — prep a solid pad and have help. Support was upfront about it. Once set, it's superb and the window is a joy.
The E8W combines the big six-person bench with the rear window, so it never feels closed in. The view at sunset is unreal. The Harvia handles the larger space with ease. Sauna Co. coordinated delivery and confirmed my base was ready first.
