Saunalife E6 - 3 Person Barrel Sauna
About this product
SaunaLife E6 - Compact 3-Person Barrel Sauna for Small Backyards
The SaunaLife E6 is the perfect 3-person outdoor barrel sauna for homeowners who want authentic Finnish sauna culture without a massive footprint. Made in Northern Europe from premium thermo-spruce with stainless steel hardware, this compact barrel sauna heats up fast thanks to its efficient cylindrical design, reaching optimal temperatures of 160-190 degrees F in about 30 minutes. The interior features contoured thermo-aspen benches and dual floor drains for effortless maintenance and water evacuation.
Barrel saunas offer distinct advantages over box-style saunas: the curved walls create natural convection that distributes heat more evenly, they require less energy to operate, and the rounded shape provides natural rain runoff so water never pools on the surface. The robust stave-and-band construction handles rain, snow, and UV exposure for 15-20+ years of outdoor use. The E6 is engineered for DIY assembly, and two people can have it fully built in a single day.

What our customers say
I love the Sauna and cold plunge I purchased from Sweat Decks. In addition to providing great products, their office is extremely helpful. My backyard is now a delightful retreat.
We had a great experience overall working with this team. They built and installed our sauna and also constructed a staircase leading up to it, and the final result exceeded expectations. I’ll note that things were a little bumpy right after purchase — the original person we worked with ended up leaving without notice, which caused some initial confusion. That said, the team handled it really well. Huge shoutout to Heath and Brandon for stepping in, taking ownership, and getting everything back on track. They were incredibly professional, thorough, and easy to work with throughout the rest of the process. From there, everything ran smoothly. The craftsmanship is excellent — the sauna looks beautiful, feels high quality, and the staircase ties everything together perfectly. You can tell a lot of care went into both the design and execution. They showed up when they said they would, communicated clearly, and kept everything clean and organized during the build. In the end, they absolutely delivered. Really happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them.
I got a sauna and a plunge in the backyard from Sweatdecks. It was a one stop shop. After delivery, build, and execution they continue to be responsive for questions, and recommendations. Top shelf company. 5 stars! Many thanks, Heath.
Sweat Decks was incredible to work with! They built out my hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge and everything turned out amazing. The whole process was smooth, the team was professional, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. What impressed me most is that the service didn’t stop once the build was done — they’ve been super responsive and helpful with any follow-up. Couldn’t recommend them more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We went with Sweat Decks for our sauna installation and couldn’t be happier with the decision. They started with a site visit to figure out the best placement. We prioritized views and access to power and water and fortunately the best spot was also the least expensive for the build. There was a rough work visit from the electrician a few days before install, where he met with the courier to secure delivery of the sauna and heater. Then the guys came out and installed it in one day that weekend. For the longest, I had in my mind this idea that I could just DIY this project (and I could!), but why do that when you’ve got some experts who can get the job done right the first time! After getting the sauna my sleep stats are improved and my resting heart rate is down significantly. As parents, I believe this was one of the best investments we could’ve made! If you’re looking at Sweat Decks for the work, my guess is you’re already sold on their quality based on the reviews, but you’re not sure about the cost. That’s where we were for a while before just pulling the trigger. My only regret is waiting so long to get this sauna!
We love our sauna and cold plunge! We have used them without fail everyday since they have been installed. Working with Brandon has been super easy, he is very responsive and happy to answer any questions along the way.\ I’ve owned other saunas and a different cold plunge that required manual chilling. The difference is undeniable. The sweat decks products are superior and 100 times easier to use on a daily basis. The whole family loves them both.
