About this buildout.

The barrel is built from thermally modified spruce staves, a wood treated for life outdoors. The Ergo form curves the benches and raises the interior height, so the room feels larger than the footprint suggests.

The curved benches hold you differently than flat boards. Heat wraps the room evenly, and the shape works as well for one person lying back as for three sitting up.

Two options change the shell: the E6W adds a rear window that brings light and a view into the back of the barrel, and the E6B adds the black exterior buildout. The E6WB combines both.

We deliver, assemble on site, coordinate the site work, and select the heater with you during the consultation, with electrical coordination handled by us. We confirm availability and every detail before anything ships.

  • “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

  • “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
