Turn your backyard into a spacious home wellness retreat with the ALEKO Liatris Red Cedar Barrel Sauna with Panoramic Window, 6–8 Person. Built for outdoor use, its classic barrel profile creates an inviting sauna space while the large rear glass window opens up the interior visually and helps the sauna feel less enclosed. The assembly manual confirms the dedicated rear glass-window structure, along with interior benches, a glass entry door, heater fence, and lighting.

With room for larger households or shared sauna sessions, the Liatris blends the warmth of red cedar with a design that feels equally at home in a wooded backyard, patio, or dedicated outdoor wellness area. The included roofing system is designed to help prepare the barrel for outdoor installation, while ALEKO recommends placing the sauna on a stable, level surface and following the installation instructions carefully to manage drainage and weather exposure.

Space for Bigger Sauna Sessions

With an 82-inch interior length, 70-inch interior width, and opposing benches, the Liatris gives you substantially more usable room than a compact barrel sauna. It is rated for 6–8 people, while the longer benches also give you flexibility to stretch out when fewer people are using it.

Panoramic Rear Window

A large rear glass window opens up the barrel visually and lets the surrounding backyard become part of the sauna experience, which is especially appealing when the sauna faces woods, landscaping, or an open view.

Room for 6–8 People

The larger interior gives you more flexibility for family, guests, or simply stretching out during a quieter solo session. Built-in benches run along both sides of the barrel to make better use of the available space.

8 kW Harvia Heater

The larger 6–8 person interior is paired with an 8 kW Harvia heater, giving the sauna the heating capacity needed for its room size while keeping the experience rooted in a traditional Finnish-style electric sauna setup.

Traditional Heat From an 8 kW Harvia Heater

The included 8 kW Harvia electric heater brings the high-temperature, stone-heated experience people expect from a traditional sauna. Add water to the heated stones for bursts of steam and adjust each session to the heat and humidity level you prefer.

Shipping and Delivery

This sauna ships by LTL freight due to its size and weight. ALEKO lists an estimated 7–20 business day transit time for LTL shipments after the order is processed. Orders are generally processed within 12–24 hours, Monday through Friday.

Free shipping is available within the contiguous United States, although additional charges may apply for certain rural delivery locations. A residential or business delivery address is required, and ALEKO does not ship large orders to PO boxes.

Because this is a large freight shipment, customers should plan ahead for delivery access and for moving the sauna components from the delivery point to the installation area. Installation is not included, and the sauna is designed for on-site assembly.

More Than Just the Sauna Shell

The Liatris arrives with the details needed to complete the experience, including sauna stones, a wooden bucket and scoop, sand timer, thermo-hygrometer, lighting, and weather-resistant roof shingles. That means fewer major accessories to source separately before your first session.

Care and Maintenance

Regular care helps protect the wood, manage moisture, and keep the sauna performing properly over time.

For the exterior, ALEKO recommends applying an exterior wood stain only to the outside surfaces. The interior wood should remain untreated. Roof debris such as leaves, dirt, and branches should also be cleared periodically to help protect the shingles and reduce moisture buildup.

After each sauna session, ALEKO recommends allowing the interior to dry thoroughly by running the heater for a short drying cycle, leaving the door slightly open, keeping the vents open, removing wet towels, and wiping down damp benches.

For deeper care, clean benches and interior walls with a mild sauna-safe cleaner, keep ventilation openings clear, and address mold or moisture issues promptly.

Returns, Damage & Order Issues

Please inspect the shipment carefully when it arrives. For LTL freight deliveries, visible damage should be noted on the delivery receipt before signing. If the crate or packaging arrives damaged, you may refuse the shipment. If you accept a damaged shipment, make sure the damage is documented on the delivery paperwork.

If the packaging looks fine but concealed damage is discovered after opening the crate, ALEKO requires that it be reported within 3 business days of delivery with photographic evidence. ALEKO also requires the damage to be reported to the freight carrier within 24 hours, with a copy forwarded to ALEKO.

For returns, ALEKO offers a 30-day return window from the date of delivery. Buyer’s-remorse returns must be unused and in the same condition received, and the customer is responsible for return shipping. A 15% restocking fee may apply if the product is not returned in its original condition.

If the product arrives damaged or defective, ALEKO may provide replacement parts or a replacement unit. If the issue cannot be resolved with replacement parts, ALEKO states that a new unit, refund, or store credit may be available depending on the situation.

Do not refuse delivery for reasons unrelated to documented damage. Refused freight may be subject to return shipping charges and other applicable fees.

For all returns, damage claims, or order issues, contact Lems Supply first so we can help coordinate the next steps with ALEKO.

A Barrel Shape Designed Around the Heat

The curved barrel interior minimizes unused overhead space compared with a conventional rectangular room, allowing heated air to circulate through a more compact interior volume. Paired with the properly sized Harvia heater, the design keeps the focus on the space you actually use.

Frequently asked questions

How many people does the ALEKO Liatris seat?

ALEKO rates the Liatris for 6–8 people. The interior uses two opposing benches measuring approximately 82 inches long by 18 inches wide, giving the sauna plenty of seating space while also allowing one person to stretch out along each side.

What electrical setup does the 8 kW Harvia heater require?

The included 8 kW Harvia electric heater requires professional electrical installation and should be wired according to the exact heater manual and applicable local electrical code. This is not a standard plug-in sauna, so it is smart to have an electrician review the installation location before the sauna arrives.

What comes with the sauna?

The Liatris package includes the red cedar barrel sauna structure, panoramic rear window, glass entry door, 8 kW Harvia heater, sauna stones, roof shingles, built-in benches, lighting, wooden bucket and scoop, sand timer, sauna lamp and shade, and thermo-hygrometer.

What kind of base does the sauna need, and should the cedar be treated?

The sauna should be installed on a stable, level surface so the barrel, doors, benches, and glass components remain properly aligned. ALEKO recommends applying exterior wood stain to the outside surfaces only. The interior wood should remain untreated.

Can I assemble the sauna myself?

The Liatris is designed for on-site kit assembly, but because of the size of the barrel and the large rear panoramic window, having at least two people is the practical approach. ALEKO’s manual specifically calls for another person to help hold the rear glass-window frame during installation. The heater and electrical components should be handled by a qualified electrician.
