Outdoor Barrel Sauna
SaunaLife E7W 4-Person ERGO Series Barrel Sauna
The E7W is the four-person ERGO barrel with a panoramic half-moon rear window in the back wall. It is the one configuration in the E7 family that adds glazing without giving up any interior length: 66 inches inside, the same figure the standard E7 publishes, and three inches more than the glass-fronted E7G.
The rest of the cabin is the series build. Full-length Thermo-Spruce staves at 1.65 inches form a barrel 77 inches across inside, closed with stainless steel bands and roofed with a black shingle kit. Benches and backrests are knot-free Thermo-Aspen in 1.1-inch stock at a 17.8-inch bench depth, and a tempered bronze glass door faces the yard at the front.

The Build
Glass Behind The Bench, Length Untouched
Four things separate the E7W from a plain barrel: the window in the back wall, the interior length it keeps, the hardware holding the shell together, and the glass in the door.
?Panoramic Half-Moon Rear WindowSaunaLife supplies the rear window as a listed component of the E7W kit. It glazes the wall behind the seating — the surface that is solid spruce on the standard E7.Exclusive To The W Models?Sixty-Six Inches InsideInterior length matches the standard E7 at 66 inches, on the same 71-inch exterior and the same 77-inch barrel diameter. The window costs no floor space.Rated For 4 Bathers⛓️Stainless Bands And Shingle RoofStainless steel barrel bands draw the 1.65-inch Thermo-Spruce staves together. A black roof shingle kit covers the top arc, spruce fascia boards close the edges, and spruce cradles carry the barrel.Supplied With The Kit?Tempered Bronze Glass DoorThe front door is tempered bronze glass. SaunaLife publishes the E7W’s glass thickness at 5/16 inch, the same figure that applies across the standard ERGO barrels.Glass Thickness 5/16″

A View That Costs You Nothing Inside
Among the three E7 configurations, this is the one where the added glass leaves the published interior at its full 66 inches. Everything below comes off the E7W’s own spec sheet and kit list.

A Closer Look At The E7W
The Rear Window
What You Look At From The Bench
From inside, the E7W reads as a wood tunnel with daylight at the far end. The window sits in the back wall, facing you down the 66-inch length of the cabin, with the bench running along the side. SaunaLife lists the part in the kit contents as a panoramic half-moon rear window.

The Back Becomes The Front
Seen from directly behind, the rear wall carries the window with a vent below it. Orientation matters more on this model than on a plain E7: the back of the barrel is the face you aim at open ground, because that is what the bench looks through.
