6 Person Outdoor Saunas

How big does a 6 person outdoor sauna need to be?

A 6 person outdoor sauna is a backyard sauna rated for six adults, and its footprint depends on the form and the maker. Dundalk LeisureCraft lists its Georgian cabin at 98.25 by 97.25 inches outside and its Tranquility barrel at 86.25 inches wide by 118 inches long, SaunaLife lists the CL7G cube at 91 by 86.6 inches, and True North builds its barrel in a 9-foot length, which Topture sells as a 6–8 person sauna.

The Georgian with a porch or with a changeroom is deeper than the plain cabin; each one's dimensions are on its product page.

6 person outdoor saunas by form and maker

Where a 6 person outdoor sauna is made depends on its maker: Dundalk LeisureCraft builds its saunas in Canada, True North hand-crafts its barrels in Ontario from Canadian cedar, and SaunaLife designs its saunas and has them handcrafted in Northern Europe.

Four forms share the 6 person outdoor sauna collection; how to choose an outdoor sauna weighs them in more depth:

• Barrel for the widest choice: seven saunas in the 6 person outdoor sauna collection are barrels, from SaunaLife, Dundalk LeisureCraft and True North, and all of them are in 6 person barrel saunas.
• Cabin if you want a changeroom: the Dundalk Georgian is offered with one, alongside the glass-front SaunaLife GL6 and the Kohler C2, which comes in 3, 5 and 6 person sizes. The Georgian with a changeroom is also in outdoor saunas with a changing room.
• Cube: the SaunaLife CL7G is the one cube in the 6 person outdoor sauna collection, with more in outdoor cube saunas.
• Pod for an arched roof: the SaunaLife G3 and the True North Pod and Large Pod are the collection's pods, with more in sauna pods.

How much does a 6 person outdoor sauna cost?

A 6 person outdoor sauna at Topture starts at $5,990 for the SaunaLife E8 barrel, before SaunaLife's $950 freight charge and a heater package. The Dundalk Georgian cabin is $7,616 with freight included and its heater chosen as a package, and the Georgian with a changeroom is $10,099.

Weigh 6 person outdoor saunas on their price with freight added: freight is free within the contiguous United States on the True North, Dundalk LeisureCraft and Kohler models, and every SaunaLife sauna carries SaunaLife's own freight charge.

Heat and electrical for a 6 person outdoor sauna

If you would rather not choose a heater, the Kohler C2 is the one 6 person outdoor sauna here that ships with its electric heater, which Kohler's installation guide places in the corner beside the door. Every current SaunaLife, Dundalk LeisureCraft and True North model here is sold with a choice of heater packages, one marked Recommended: a Saunum Air L 9.8 kW on the SaunaLife CL7G and GL6, a HUUM DROP from 6 to 9 kW on the other SaunaLife models and every Dundalk model, and a HUUM DROP 7.5 kW on every True North model.

Wood heat is an option on most 6 person outdoor saunas here: a Harvia M3 wood stove kit is offered on the SaunaLife E8 and EE8G, all five Dundalk LeisureCraft models and all five True North models, and the Dundalk models also offer a HUUM HIVE Wood 13 kW package. Whichever electric package is chosen, your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.

Delivery and base for a 6 person outdoor sauna

Every 6 person outdoor sauna here arrives as a kit for on-site assembly, by freight to a curbside delivery booked by appointment. Dundalk LeisureCraft ships many of its saunas in crates longer than 92 inches, and unloading one takes a forklift, a tilt tow truck or a crane on site, so raise site-access questions before you order. Kohler recommends a professional installer for the C2.

The base for a 6 person outdoor sauna must be firm and level; Kohler's site guide for the C2, for example, sets it on a compacted gravel pad with concrete pavers or on a concrete pad.

Every Topture freight shipment of a 6 person outdoor sauna is covered by full-value freight protection, and Lifetime Expert Support can help match a heater package to the room. Eligible U.S. customers can spread the cost with Shop Pay Installments on orders up to $30,000: monthly financing over 3, 6, 12, 18, or 24 months at 0–36% APR, depending on the purchase amount and eligibility, with the available plans shown at checkout. The outdoor saunas page covers buying from Topture in full.

Sizing up or down from a 6 person outdoor sauna

A group that is not always six can check the sizes either side of a 6 person outdoor sauna:

• Usually four or five bathers: compare 5 person outdoor saunas.
• Regularly seven or more: look at 7 person outdoor saunas.
• Not sure which form suits six: let the 60-second sauna finder weigh your space and numbers for you.
