The Collection
The Leil® Lerra Barrel Sauna Series
The Lerra Series is a pair of outdoor barrel saunas built by Saunasell in Estonia, the same workshop behind our Leil Patio and Viva ranges.
The walls are 40 mm Thermopine, baked until the sugars that feed rot are gone, so the timber holds its shape and its warm brown colour outdoors. A shingle roof runs over the arc and the front is a full height tempered black glass door.
The PURE is the compact one, a single room with full length benches down both walls. The PLUS is wider and adds a covered terrace with a seat either side of the door, and it takes a wood burning stove as well as an electric heater.
Both arrive as a flat packed kit on one pallet with a printed manual, so there is no slab to pour and no trade to book for the build itself.
Built for the Backyard
Why Choose the Lerra Series
A Barrel Heats Faster
Less air to warm than a square cabin, and the curve keeps the heat moving around you instead of pooling at the ceiling.
40 mm Thermopine Walls
Pine baked at high temperature until the sugars that feed rot are gone, so it stays stable and weathers rather than degrades.
Seats Up to Six
Full length alder benches down both walls, with two alder backrests included as standard.
Flat Packed on One Pallet
Every part cut to fit, with a printed manual in the box. Two people and hand tools, about a day.

Big thank you to all the staff at Shym Saunas. We brought a sauna from them back in November last year and Art installed it for us. It was a smooth process from start to finish and since its installation we have been really enjoying the benefits of the sauna post our open water swims. Originally we thought we would just use it in the sholder seasons and winter, but we actually used it throughout summer as well! We are lucky to have some swimming friends who come back to our place to enjoy the sauna post swim and sharing it with friends enable us to all enjoy some great conversations. Would definitely recommend Shym Saunas to anyone comtemplating a sauna!Posted on Google![]()

I am extremely happy with my square sauna and the service I received. I found Shym Saunas to be very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting me to find the most suitable sauna for my personal situation. They helped me along the way and I highly recommend this family run business.Posted on Google![]()

I recently bought and built a Patio S sauna supplied by Shym saunas, together with a Humm Hive woodfired stove. I couldn't be happier with the end result. The whole process with the team at Shym was amazing, all the questions I had were answered promptly, from lighting, building and shipping questions to the mundane.. "what sealant should I use" I enjoyed building it too! Like a really big IKEA kit but way better quality!Posted on Google![]()

Thanks Eunice and Art for their great correspondence and advice for purchasing our Cube sauna which fit perfectly in the backyard. The quality of the sauna is fabulous; we enjoy it every time we get in it - almost everyday. Communication was A+ and worked with us to ensure we had all the right information before we ordered and before we took delivery of the sauna; the delivery is a flat pack and i would advise if you can get the sauna delivered to a local depot near you and hire a trailer to pick it up (8*5 is needed for Serenity Round Cube Mini Thermo-Treated Spruce Sauna 2m - which weighed around 900kg)

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to install a Lerra sauna?
Yes, if you choose an electric heater. A sauna heater needs its own dedicated circuit, so an electrician wires it in. If you choose a wood burning stove on the PLUS there is no wiring at all.
How long does assembly take?
About a day with two people using hand tools. The kit arrives flat packed on one pallet with a printed manual. The manufacturer’s own team builds one in around six hours, so allow a bit more for a first time.
What is the difference between the PURE and the PLUS?
The PURE is one room, 2.0 m across and 2.24 m long, and takes an electric heater. The PLUS is wider at 2.2 m and longer at 2.6 m, adds a covered terrace with a seat either side of the door, has a two level bench inside, and takes either an electric or a wood burning heater.
Where can I put one?
Outdoors, on firm level ground. The barrel sits on its own timber cradle so it does not need a concrete slab, but the ground under it has to be level and stable. Leave room to open the door and, if you go wood fired, to load the stove.
Is a heater included?
No. Choose one in the Cost Calculation tab on either product page and it ships with the sauna. The PURE takes an electric heater. The PLUS takes electric or wood burning.
What is covered by the warranty?
24 months on materials and production defects from the date of delivery. It does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation.
