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.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from Shym Saunas customers around Australia, pulled straight from Google.
Pure backyard paradise! We could not be more obsessed with our traditional outdoor sauna. The craftsmanship of the timber and the stunning finish make every session feel like a high-end wellness getaway—and it heats up in absolute record time! A massive shoutout to the owner and team for an effortless process, professional service, and constant updates throughout. Unmatched quality from start to finish! 🧖♂️🔥
Yury K.Oct 2026Wonderful experience from the outset. Prompt response to queries prior to purchasing as well as post purchase. Very professional in approach to delivery of unit and liaised with transport company with delivery to very difficult site. I am extremely satisfied with the Viva Leil 210 sauna in every respect. I would highly recommend dealing with Shym saunas. Mari, the sales lady was exceptional!
Harry R.Oct 2026We are very happy with our integrated fire hot tub. Easy installation, takes about 3 hours to heat to 38 degrees. It was worth waiting for.
LindaOct 2026This is my second sauna purchase so it's safe to say I have been extremely satisfied with the service and products. So very helpful from start to finish and never an issue when I needed assistance with minor maintenance. Highly recommend using Shym's Sauna & Spas.
Punarai C.Sep 2026We purchased a hot tub. Good communications from the team, helpful advice about construction and the product is good quality. I recommend this company.
Michael W.Sep 2026Great service & products range! Competitive pricing and customer service is fantastic.
Jared B.Sep 2026Having just completed the build myself we are so happy with it. The Leil XXS fit our space perfectly and it's as close to a custom built traditional Scandinavian sauna on the market. Art and the team suggested provided great suggestions and the experience is genuinely authentic. We will post some videos soon the surrounding deck is completed. Art suggested the Cylindro heater with 80kg of rocks. Having used wall heaters before they are good but nothing like the smooth consistent heat the extra rocks provide. 3 hours after I turned off the heater it was still on 55 degress. So happy with the whole process Kye
Kye A.Sep 2026They could not have been more helpful. My tub is wonderful and truly the perfect fit for the space. In fact, I’m convinced it was designed especially for my little corner of the world! Thank you again for the professional service.
Suzie C.Aug 2026Big 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!
Yvonne R.Jul 2026Shym sauna did all they promised, the kit was kinda fun to assemble, now l have the luxury of a sauna in my back garden. I would now recommend Shym Sauna to anyone wishing for a good sauna purchase experience
Chris & Sally P.Jul 2026From initial consultation to final setup, everything was handled professionally. They helped me choose the right sauna and accessories without overselling, which I really appreciated. The project stayed on schedule and the end result looks amazing in my backyard.
Gaurang K.May 2026Great experience overall. Professional and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team.

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.
