Overview
The LEXLETIX Outdoor Sauna is conceived as a classic barrel style sauna designed to live comfortably in a backyard, patio or garden setting. Its rounded profile, warm wood tones and compact footprint create a private retreat that feels integrated with the outdoors while still delivering an authentic traditional sauna experience.
Pre launch catalog status
This outdoor sauna is part of our pre launch catalog preview and illustrates the type of craftsmanship and specification we look for in our future brand partners. Final lumber species, heater brand and accessory package will be confirmed as we complete supplier agreements. At this stage, this listing is not yet available for purchase.
Construction and materials
The sauna concept is built around durable, hand crafted lumber profiles and end sections, with a focus on high quality wood such as red cedar from builders with a long history in sauna making. Components are assembled without finger joints or glue in key structural elements, emphasizing traditional joinery principles. Exterior bands, hinges and fasteners are specified in stainless steel to support resistance to the elements over time. Any glass elements are planned as tempered glass for safety and durability.
Interior layout and lighting
Inside, two opposing benches run along the sides, allowing users either to sit comfortably or recline. An interior LED light provides gentle illumination for evening or low light sessions, while the curved interior fosters a cozy, enveloping atmosphere. Weather resilient plastic support cradles help keep the barrel slightly elevated and stable on a variety of outdoor surfaces.
Sauna package
The typical package for this style of sauna includes the barrel sauna body in red cedar, a premium Harvia sauna heater sized appropriately for the interior volume, Finnish sauna stones, a matching bucket and ladle, and a handmade thermometer and hygrometer for monitoring conditions. A protective cover is included to help shield the unit from the elements when not in use, and an LED light with dimming capability adds flexibility for night time use.
Dimensions and capacity
Approximate assembled weight is around 300 lbs, with shipping weight nearing 350 lbs once packaged. The assembled footprint is approximately 72 inches wide by 47 inches deep by 77 inches high, with an interior room size of about 71 inches wide by 39 inches deep by 71 inches high. Bench dimensions are roughly 18 inches wide by 39 inches long and 17 inches high. This configuration comfortably accommodates two to three people. Heater sizing is typically around 4.5 kW at 220 volts with a 32 amp requirement for hard wired installation. Metric conversions are provided as approximate references for planning.
Traditional sauna experience
This unit is based on a traditional sauna model where a heater and stones provide the primary heat source. Users can enjoy a dry sauna by running the heater without additional moisture, or a wet sauna by sprinkling water onto the heated stones to generate steam and increased humidity. Both methods offer different sensations of warmth and can be adjusted to personal preference.
Care and maintenance
Traditional saunas generally require modest ongoing care. After use, the interior can be wiped down to keep surfaces fresh, and any debris brought in on feet can be removed. Allowing the sauna to dry between sessions supports the appearance and longevity of the wood.
Assembly
The design is intended for self assembly by two people in a typical backyard or patio environment. Components arrive pre cut and pre shaped, with assembly usually achievable in around five hours using a cordless drill and a mallet. For customers who prefer not to assemble the sauna themselves, professional assembly options from experienced teams are typically available depending on region. Final assembly and installation options will be confirmed with our partner manufacturers.
Warranty
The target warranty model includes a limited lifetime warranty on the sauna room structure from the manufacturer, backed by LEXLETIX support. Detailed warranty terms, heater coverage and regional variations will be confirmed with each specific brand partner.
