Bring the spa experience to your backyard with the Liatris Rustic Cedar Barrel Sauna with Front Porch Canopy — a beautifully crafted outdoor sauna that blends traditional barrel design with modern comfort. Built from aromatic rustic cedar, the curved barrel shape heats faster and retains heat more efficiently than square saunas, while the front porch canopy creates a dedicated cool-down and relaxation space right outside the door. With a UL-certified Harvia heater, tinted glass door, exterior LED lighting, and a full accessories kit, the Liatris is ready to deliver an authentic wet/dry sauna experience from day one.
⚠️ Electrical Requirement: This sauna requires a 220–240V dedicated circuit with professional wiring. It is not compatible with standard 120V household outlets. Please consult a licensed electrician before installation.
The Liatris is crafted from rustic cedar — a wood prized for its natural resistance to moisture and decay, its warm reddish tone, and its signature fresh aroma that intensifies with heat. The classic barrel shape isn't just beautiful; it's engineered to circulate heat evenly and efficiently, reducing warm-up time and energy use compared to traditional box saunas.
The covered front porch canopy sets the Liatris apart from standard barrel saunas. Step outside between rounds to cool down under cover, enjoy the fresh air, and extend your sauna ritual — all without leaving your backyard retreat. The exterior bench provides comfortable seating for the full cool-down experience.
The 4.5 kW Harvia KIP heater is UL-certified and built in Finland, the birthplace of sauna culture. It reaches temperatures of 158–194°F, supports both dry and wet (steam) sauna sessions, and includes an adjustable dial and automatic 60-minute shut-off timer for safe, unattended operation.
The Liatris comes fully equipped for day-one use: exterior LED accent lighting, a towel rack, sauna bucket and scoop, sand timer, sauna lamp with shade, thermo-hygrometer, and 35 lbs. of sauna stones. Everything you need is in the box.
