Curbside freight delivery — items lowered to ground level How it works

How freight delivery works

  1. The carrier books a time with you

    When your order reaches a local depot, the freight company calls or texts you to schedule a delivery date and time window.

  2. Curbside, lowered to the ground

    Most orders arrive with a liftgate. Standard delivery does not include moving it to your yard, unpacking or installation.

  3. Inspect before you sign

    Note any damage on the delivery receipt and take photos before the driver leaves. Report damage to us within 24 hours.

*Eligible returns must be requested within 30 days of delivery. Restocking and freight charges apply, and some items are final sale. See the Refund Policy.

Description

The SaunaLife EE6G is a 4-person outdoor barrel sauna kit with a full tempered bronze-glass front wall, a contoured knotless Thermo-Aspen bench with an arched backrest, and a shell of 1.65-inch Thermo-Spruce staves under an asphalt shingle roof. It measures 63" long by 90.9" in diameter outside and 55" long by 87.4" in diameter inside, and ships flat-packed by LTL freight at 1,600 lbs. The electric heater and its controls are chosen separately.

The EE6G is an ERGO-Series Elegance model in SaunaLife's barrel line, which uses a 91-inch outer diameter — ten inches more than SaunaLife's E-Series barrels. That wider arc is what lets the seat be contoured and the backrest arched instead of flat against the staves, and it is the main reason to choose an EE model over an E model of the same capacity. The EE6G is handcrafted in Northern Europe from thermally modified spruce and aspen and is designed to live outdoors year-round, with an annual wood treatment.

How the SaunaLife EE6G is built

The EE6G uses a different material for each job: thermally modified spruce where the sauna meets the weather, knotless thermally modified aspen where skin meets the bench, and tempered glass across the whole front.

  • Bronze-glass front wall: the entire front, including the door, is 0.31" tempered, bronze-tinted glass. The door panel itself is 27.2" wide by 74.4" high.
  • Thermo-Spruce shell: full-length staves 1.65" thick, drawn together by heavy-duty stainless-steel bands. Thermal modification changes the wood's cell structure with heat and steam rather than chemicals, which reduces moisture absorption and improves dimensional stability and natural resistance to decay outdoors.
  • Knotless Thermo-Aspen interior: the bench top and the arched backrest are 1.1"-thick knotless Thermo-Aspen, a wood chosen for sauna seating because it stays comparatively cool against skin.
  • Asphalt shingle roof: a black shingle kit with a drip-edge rail over the top of the barrel, rather than a membrane cover.
  • Wi-Fi LED lighting: a dotless white LED light bar controlled from a phone app or the included wireless remote, rated IP67 and running at 24 V DC.
  • Ventilation and drainage: upper and lower round wall vents, and two floor drains — one at the heater position and one near the door.
What's Included?

What comes with the SaunaLife EE6G?

The heater, its control unit, the sauna stones and the electrical work are not included.

Does the SaunaLife EE6G include a heater?

No. The SaunaLife EE6G is a sauna room kit, so the electric heater, its control unit and the sauna stones are chosen separately and ordered with the sauna.

Three wall-mounted electric heater packages are offered for this sauna, selectable above, and each one includes the heater, its control and its stones:

  • HUUM DROP 9 kW with UKU local or Wi-Fi control — marked Recommended
  • Harvia KIP 8 kW with Xenio Wi-Fi control
  • Harvia KIP 8 kW with built-in controls on the heater

The Compare Heater Packages link on this page sets out what each one contains. SaunaLife does not publish a recommended heater output for the EE6G and its manual refers you to the heater manufacturer's own instructions, so if you plan to supply a heater you already own, send us the model before you order and we will check it against this sauna.

Assembly & Installation

Can you assemble the SaunaLife EE6G yourself?

The barrel, yes; the electrical work, no. The SaunaLife EE6G arrives flat-packed with numbered, profiled components and an illustrated step-by-step manual, and it is designed to be built on site. It is a two-person job at minimum — SaunaLife's own tool list for the EE6G ends with "extra hands" — and it is not a no-cut kit: that same list includes a circular saw, and the roofing step calls for cutting shingle pieces to fit. SaunaLife's manual then instructs owners to "hire qualified professionals for electrical work, including heater and lighting installation" — so the heater, its control unit and the LED lighting are wired by a licensed electrician, not by you.

Before the sauna arrives

  1. Prepare the base. SaunaLife asks for a stable, level foundation with enough capacity to carry the sauna, and its care guide says to remove the soil underneath and replace it with well-drained, load-bearing material, then keep plant growth down around the barrel to limit moisture.
  2. Have the electrician review the heater package you have chosen and run the power cable to the sauna position in line with the heater manufacturer's manual.
  3. Plan how the crated components move from the curb to the build site — see delivery below.

Tools you supply

SaunaLife's manual lists the tools for the EE6G build: measuring tape, marker pen, circular saw, water level, hammer, screwdriver, drill, crescent wrench, utility knife, rubber mallet, ratchet strap — and "extra hands".

The heater guard is not universal

The EE6G includes a wooden heater guard, and SaunaLife's manual carries an explicit warning about it: the guard "may not meet the safety distances of all heaters and should not be used if the heater does not fit". The manual also instructs you to place the sauna heater first and fit the guard around it, and says that if your heater is smaller you can cut one guard component to length from its non-tapered end. Confirm the clearances in your heater's own manual before you rely on the supplied guard.

Treating the wood

SaunaLife strongly recommends treating all wooden components with a wood preservative, and the kit includes a 16.9 oz bottle of paraffin oil for the barrel. Thermally modified spruce is more dimensionally stable than untreated softwood, but SaunaLife's own manual states that wood "may crack or warp slightly due to temperature fluctuations" and that this is normal in a sauna — so the EE6G is a product that is maintained, not a maintenance-free one.

Shipping

How is the SaunaLife EE6G delivered?

The SaunaLife EE6G ships by LTL freight at a listed shipping weight of 1,600 lbs, and delivery is curbside with the shipment lowered to ground level on a pallet. A delivery appointment is required. Plan how the crated components will move from the curb to the prepared site before the truck arrives.

EE6G freight summary
Freight type LTL truck
Delivery point Curbside / ground level
Listed shipping weight 1,600 lbs
Contiguous-US shipping shown on page $950
Appointment Required
Freight protection Full-value, included on every Topture freight order

The carrier will reach out to book the appointment once the shipment arrives at their local terminal, and someone needs to be there to inspect and sign for it. The sauna arrives protected on a wooden pallet, sometimes encased in wood.

Inspect and photograph the shipment before you start assembly. SaunaLife's warranty does not cover damage — transport damage included — that would have been detectable by visual inspection before installation, so documenting it at delivery is what keeps both the freight claim and the warranty open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SaunaLife EE6G come with a heater?
No. The SaunaLife EE6G is a sauna room kit, and the electric heater, its control unit and the sauna stones are chosen separately. Topture offers three wall-mounted electric heater packages for this sauna: the HUUM DROP 9 kW with UKU local or Wi-Fi control, which is marked Recommended, the Harvia KIP 8 kW with Xenio Wi-Fi control, and the Harvia KIP 8 kW with built-in controls. Each package includes the heater, its control and its stones. Voltage and circuit size differ by package and are listed on each heater's own product page, and SaunaLife's manual requires the connection to be made by a qualified professional. SaunaLife does not publish a recommended kilowatt output for the EE6G, so if you already own a heater, send us the model before ordering and we will check it against this sauna.
What size heater does the SaunaLife EE6G need?
An 8 to 9 kW electric heater suits the SaunaLife EE6G, and Topture offers it with the HUUM DROP 9 kW or the Harvia KIP 8 kW. The interior, an 87.4-inch circle 55 inches long, holds about 191 cubic feet, but the whole front wall is uninsulated glass, and both heater makers add volume for glass: HUUM 3.3 cubic feet per square foot, Harvia 1.2 cubic meters per square meter. The front circle is about 42 square feet, nearly all glass; with roughly 40 square feet the effective volume is about 323 cubic feet by HUUM's rule and 348 by Harvia's, inside the DROP 9's 283 to 460 and the KIP 8's 250 to 425. A 6 kW heater sized to the bare 191 cubic feet would be undersized by the makers' own rules.
What electrical circuit does the SaunaLife EE6G need?
The SaunaLife EE6G needs a 240-volt circuit for an electric heater, sized for the package and wired by a licensed electrician. HUUM's manual says the DROP 9 kW draws 37.5 amps at 240 V. Harvia's manual says the KIP 8 kW (KIP-80-B1) draws 33.3 amps at 240 V single-phase. The LED lighting plugs its 90 W power supply into a 120-volt outlet, and SaunaLife's manual asks for professionals to install both the heater and the lighting. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.
How many people does the SaunaLife EE6G seat, and can you stand up inside?
The SaunaLife EE6G is rated for up to four people. The upper bench runs 82.7 inches across the full width of the back wall with a contoured seat and an arched backrest, a 69.7-inch lower bench sits in front of it, and there are two corner steps of 17.3 by 23.6 inches and 26 by 17.3 inches. The interior diameter is 87.4 inches, which is 7 feet 3 inches, and that is the figure SaunaLife cites when it says you can stand comfortably without crouching. One caveat worth knowing about any barrel sauna: the diameter is measured across the widest point of the circle and the floor sits above the bottom of the barrel, so usable standing headroom is somewhat less than the diameter. SaunaLife does not publish a separate floor-to-crown height for the EE6G.
What are the SaunaLife EE6G dimensions?
The SaunaLife EE6G measures 63 inches long by 90.9 inches in diameter on the outside, and about 94.9 inches in overall height once it is sitting on its cradles. Inside it is 55 inches long by 87.4 inches in diameter. The glass door panel is 27.2 inches wide by 74.4 inches high. Allow clearance around the barrel for the door to swing, for airflow past the vents, and for access when you treat the exterior wood.
What is the SaunaLife EE6G made of, and where is it made?
The SaunaLife EE6G shell is built from full-length Thermo-Spruce staves 1.65 inches thick, drawn together by heavy-duty stainless-steel bands and topped with a black asphalt shingle roof kit with a drip-edge rail. The entire front wall, including the door, is 0.31 inch tempered bronze-tinted glass. The contoured bench top and the arched backrest are 1.1-inch knotless Thermo-Aspen, a wood chosen for sauna seating because it stays comparatively cool against skin. Thermal modification uses heat and steam rather than chemicals to change the wood's cell structure, which reduces moisture absorption and improves dimensional stability and natural resistance to decay outdoors. SaunaLife designs the EE6G, and it is handcrafted in Northern Europe.
Can I assemble the SaunaLife EE6G myself?
The barrel, yes; the electrical work, no. The EE6G arrives flat-packed with numbered, profiled components and an illustrated step-by-step manual and is designed to be built on site, with at least two people. It is not a no-cut kit: SaunaLife's tool list for the EE6G includes a circular saw, and the roofing step calls for cutting shingle pieces to fit. The full list is measuring tape, marker pen, circular saw, water level, hammer, screwdriver, drill, crescent wrench, utility knife, rubber mallet, ratchet strap and extra hands. SaunaLife's manual then instructs owners to hire qualified professionals for electrical work, including heater and lighting installation, so the heater, its control unit and the LED lighting are wired by a licensed electrician.
Is the heater guard on the SaunaLife EE6G safe with any heater?
No, and SaunaLife says so in the manual. The EE6G includes a wooden heater guard, and the manual carries an explicit warning that the guard may not meet the safety distances of all heaters and should not be used if the heater does not fit. The manual also instructs you to place the sauna heater first and fit the guard around it, and notes that if your heater is smaller you can cut one guard component to length from its non-tapered end. Check the clearances required in your own heater's manual before relying on the supplied guard.
What foundation does the SaunaLife EE6G need?
SaunaLife requires a stable, level foundation with enough capacity to carry the sauna, prepared before the kit arrives. Its care guide asks that the soil underneath be removed and replaced with a well-drained, load-bearing material, and that plant growth under and around the barrel be kept down so moisture does not sit against the wood. A level base is also what keeps the glass door operating correctly over time. The EE6G has two floor drains, one at the heater position and one near the door, so water thrown on the stones and water carried in from a cold plunge both have somewhere to go.
How is the SaunaLife EE6G delivered and what does shipping cost?
The SaunaLife EE6G ships by LTL freight truck for a flat $950 freight charge to the contiguous United States, at a listed shipping weight of 1,600 pounds. Delivery is curbside: the driver lowers the shipment to ground level and is not responsible for moving it further. The carrier will reach out to book a delivery appointment once the shipment reaches their local terminal, and someone has to be present to inspect and sign for it. The sauna arrives on a wooden pallet, sometimes encased in wood. Every Topture freight order includes full-value freight protection, and damage has to be documented at delivery for a claim to be processed.
What does the SaunaLife EE6G cost in total, delivered?
The delivered cost of the SaunaLife EE6G from Topture is the kit price plus a flat $950 LTL freight charge to the contiguous United States. Some retailers advertise free shipping on the EE6G at a higher kit price, so compare delivered totals rather than kit prices. The kit has no heater, so add one of Topture's three heater packages for the EE6G; the floor kit is already included. Site work is arranged locally: a level, load-bearing, well-drained base and a licensed electrician for the heater, its control and the LED lighting. Topture quotes delivery outside the contiguous United States per order, and offers financing through Shop Pay Installments at checkout.
What warranty does the SaunaLife EE6G come with?
SaunaLife's current Limited Warranty covers its saunas against defects in workmanship under normal conditions of use and service for five years from delivery in residential applications, and it runs to the original retail purchaser who bought from an authorized reseller. Topture is an authorized SaunaLife retailer. It does not cover normal material wear, natural weathering of the lumber, the natural characteristics of wood such as grain, knots and tone variation, shrinkage and expansion from temperature and humidity, or labour for removal and reinstallation. Sauna heaters and added components are not covered by it; each heater carries its own manufacturer warranty. Commercial use, alteration and deviation from the assembly instructions void it. Damage that would have been detectable by visual inspection before installation, including transport damage, is also excluded, which is why the shipment should be inspected and photographed at delivery. The warranty page printed inside the EE6G installation manual is an older edition and does not state these terms.
Where can you buy the SaunaLife EE6G from an authorized dealer?
Topture is an authorized SaunaLife dealer, listed in SaunaLife's own dealer directory, and sells the SaunaLife EE6G with three heater packages: the HUUM DROP 9 kW, and the Harvia KIP 8 kW with Xenio Wi-Fi or built-in controls. Buying from an authorized dealer matters because SaunaLife's limited warranty applies only to products bought from one of its authorized resellers. Topture provides Lifetime Expert Support, including troubleshooting and warranty coordination with SaunaLife.
How do you maintain the SaunaLife EE6G?
SaunaLife strongly recommends treating all wooden components with a wood preservative, and the kit includes a 16.9 ounce bottle of paraffin oil for the barrel. After each session, wipe the bench with a clean damp cloth, keep water from pooling on wood surfaces, then ventilate the sauna and let the surfaces dry; SaunaLife also advises using seating pads or a towel on the bench and not sitting on it in wet swimwear. Once a year, wash the benches and platform on all sides with a cleaner made for sauna wood, sand out stronger stains with fine-grade paper and re-treat what you have sanded. Do not pressure-wash the barrel or use a stream of water on it, and do not use disinfectants or bleach, which will damage the wood surface. Check the door hinges periodically; adjustment uses 3 mm and 5 mm hex keys. SaunaLife's manual also notes that wood may crack or warp slightly with temperature and humidity swings and that this is normal in a sauna.
What are common problems with the SaunaLife EE6G, and how do you avoid them?
The SaunaLife EE6G's manual names the ones that are normal: the wood may crack or warp slightly as temperature and humidity change, boards exposed to steam darken, and thermally modified wood keeps a smell that fades but never fully disappears. The avoidable ones come from the build and from care: a screw driven into the glass during assembly (the manual warns twice and asks for at least 0.79 inch of clearance), wall screws drawn tight before the steel bands go on (leave about a quarter-inch gap), a base that is not level, pressure-washing the wood, and heating above the heater maker's maximum. The included heater guard may not meet every heater's safety distances and should not be used if the heater does not fit. A drifting glass door adjusts at the hinges with 3 mm and 5 mm hex keys.
What is the difference between the SaunaLife EE6G and the EE8G?
The EE6G and the EE8G share the same barrel diameter, the same 0.31 inch bronze-glass front wall and door, the same 1.65 inch Thermo-Spruce staves and the same shingle roof. The difference is length and seating layout. The EE6G is 63 inches long outside and 55 inches inside, is rated for four people, weighs 1,500 pounds, and puts one long contoured bench across the back wall with a lower bench and two corner steps in front of it. The EE8G is 78.7 inches long outside and 70.7 inches inside, is rated for six, weighs 1,765 pounds, and instead runs a contoured bench with an arched backrest down each side of the barrel so bathers face each other. If more than three people use the sauna at once, the EE8G's facing-bench layout is the reason to step up.
What is the difference between the SaunaLife EE6G and the E7?
The SaunaLife EE6G and the E7 are both 4-person ERGO-Series barrel saunas, but they are different diameters. The EE6G is an ERGO-Series Elegance model at 91 inches outside diameter and 87.4 inches inside, and its whole front wall, door included, is bronze-tinted tempered glass. The E7 is 81 inches outside and 77.2 inches inside and comes with a glass door, a glass door plus rear window, or as the Glass Front E7G. The EE6G's larger circle gives more width and more height at the centre, and it includes a floor kit, while on the E7 the flat floor is an add-on. The E7 is the longer of the two at 71 inches deep against the EE6G's 63 inches, so it trades diameter for length.
How does the SaunaLife EE6G compare with the CL5G cube sauna?
The biggest difference is the room's shape. The SaunaLife EE6G is a barrel: its curved walls rise to an 87.4-inch interior diameter, so headroom is greatest at the centre and falls toward the sides, and its round front is almost entirely bronze glass. The SaunaLife CL5G is a cube with flat walls and 74.8 inches of interior height that holds right out to the walls, behind a full-height glass front. Both seat four and both are 63 inches deep outside. The EE6G is 90.9 inches wide and 94.9 inches tall on its cradles, with about 191 cubic feet inside; the CL5G is 80.7 by 82.7 inches, with about 184. Topture offers both with the HUUM DROP 9 kW or the Harvia KIP 8 kW.

General Topture Questions

Where are you located, and where do you ship from?

Topture is an online retailer serving customers in the contiguous United States. The company is Topture LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and its registered business address is 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801.

Orders ship from manufacturer and distributor warehouses in the U.S. and Canada, and some products ship directly from the manufacturer in Europe. Each product page shows its estimated delivery time.

How much is shipping?

Orders over $200 ship free within the continental United States. Orders under $200 carry a small shipping fee.

Two exceptions: SaunaLife and ThermaSol products carry a freight charge at any order value, and sauna stones ordered without a heater ship at $60 per box because of their weight.

Every charge is shown at checkout before you pay.

Do you provide financing?

Absolutely! To view your financing offer, simply select Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at Step 3 of checkout.

You'll need to enter a debit card to receive your offer, but don’t worry—you can still back out before completing the purchase.

How long will it take for my items to arrive?

If your order is in stock, most orders ship within 2–7 business days of purchase. Transit time then depends on the distance from the warehouse and, for freight, on booking a delivery appointment.

For custom, pre-order or made-to-order items, the estimated delivery time frame is listed on the product page. Delivery dates are estimates, so please don't book installation labor until your order has arrived and been inspected.

What happens after I place my order?

As soon as you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email with your order details—be sure to keep it for your records. Once your order ships, you'll receive another email with tracking information.

For freight deliveries, the carrier will call or text you to schedule an appointment once the shipment reaches their local terminal. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign for it. Smaller parcels arrive by UPS or FedEx without an appointment.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Products purchased through Topture include the applicable manufacturer’s warranty, subject to the manufacturer’s terms. You’ll find the warranty details for each product under the "Warranty" tab on its product page, and we help with troubleshooting and warranty coordination if an issue comes up.

Do you have a showroom?

We don’t have a showroom — we sell online. Our team is available by phone, email and chat to help you compare models, sizes and heaters, and we can send dimensions, installation manuals and electrical requirements before you buy.

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver throughout the 48 contiguous states, with curbside freight delivery for large items. Free shipping and standard rates apply there only. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other U.S. islands and Canada are quoted separately, depending on the brand and model. We can't ship freight or oversized items to P.O. boxes.

Do you ship internationally?

International Shipping

For many products, yes, including to Canada, by custom quote. Email contact@topture.com with the product and your address before you order; availability and cost depend on the brand and model. Any duties, taxes and customs fees are your responsibility.

Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico

Free shipping applies to the continental United States only. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other U.S. islands is quoted separately and depends on the brand and model. Email contact@topture.com for a quote before you order.
