Outdoor hot tubs
Compare compact, round, oval, square, traditional timber and lined tubs, then choose wood, electric, pellet or approved hybrid heating for the selected model.
Outdoor wellness direct from the manufacturer
Hot Tubs, Outdoor Saunas and Garden Wellness from TimberIN
TimberIN designs and manufactures configurable outdoor-wellness products for private gardens, holiday properties and professional projects. The range includes lined and traditional timber hot tubs, outdoor saunas, mobile sauna trailers, cold plunges, outdoor showers and glamping pods.
This homepage is the starting point for choosing the right product family. Each specialist page then explains the relevant models, heating routes, dimensions, technical requirements and ownership routine. That separation matters: a hot tub is a heated water vessel, a sauna is a heated room, and a cold plunge has a different water-care and temperature-control purpose.

Choose the outdoor-wellness product that matches the way you will use it
A useful shortlist begins with the experience you want and the routine you are prepared to manage. Warm-water bathing, massage, dry sauna heat, cold immersion and guest accommodation are different projects. They require different services, foundations, access, maintenance and safety planning, even when they will eventually share one landscaped garden.
Outdoor and garden saunas
Explore barrel, pod, cube, cabin and panoramic sauna rooms. Compare usable bench space, room volume, glazing, heater choice, ventilation and delivery form.
Mobile sauna trailers
Purpose-built mobile saunas for private travel, events, hire and commercial wellness. Trailer specification, payload, towing, setup and operating responsibility must be planned together.
Sauna and hot-tub combinations
Nordic Hobbiton joins a Thermowood sauna and hot tub within one factory-built 4600 × 2400 mm structure. Compare wood-fired and electric packages, access, foundation and unloading requirements.
Wood-fired hot-tub heaters
Compare external, integrated and internal stainless-steel heaters by compatibility, output, circulation route, chimney position and service access. Each heater must be matched to the selected tub and water volume.
Ice baths and cold plunges
Start with the compact one-person Thermowood Ø90 model shown here, then compare simple immersion with filtration or active temperature-control systems.
Outdoor wooden showers
A garden shower can support a sauna or hot-tub area, but still needs its own water supply, drainage route, privacy arrangement and winter routine.
Glamping and garden pods
Timber pods for accommodation or private space. Dimensions, insulation, interior fit-out, utilities, base, approvals, access and commercial operation shape the specification.
A quick route to the right part of the TimberIN range
The table is a starting point rather than a substitute for the model drawing. It separates the main product purposes so that detailed questions are taken to the page designed to answer them.
| Your priority | Start with | Confirm before quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Warm outdoor soaking | Hot tubs | Everyday capacity, internal space, water volume, heating routine, cover and water care |
| Fire-led bathing with a dedicated stove | Wood-fired hot tubs | Heater position, circulation, chimney, dry fuel, operating footprint and freeze routine |
| Massage in heated water | Hot tubs with jets | Air or hydro system, pumps, electrical supply, filtration and maintenance access |
| A dedicated hot room | Outdoor saunas | Bench capacity, heated volume, heater, ventilation, base and delivery form |
| Controlled cold immersion | Cold plunges | Internal dimensions, safe entry, cooling route, filtration, drainage and hygiene |
Choose the heating routine after choosing the vessel or sauna room
Wood-fired hot tubs suit owners who value the firing ritual and can provide dry fuel, a safe operating area and an appropriate chimney position. Electric heating offers scheduled, controlled operation but depends on the available supply and the approved heater configuration. Pellet and hybrid routes can suit particular models and routines. Heater choice is therefore not a universal upgrade: it must be compatible with the selected vessel, water volume, insulation and intended frequency of use.
The main hot-tub page compares the available product and heating families. Buyers who have already decided on fire as the primary heat source should continue to the dedicated wood-fired hot-tub guide and model range. That page owns the detailed questions about heater position, heat-up, firewood, chimney planning, winter use and model selection.
Turn the garden idea into a buildable specification
- Define normal use.
Record everyday occupancy, frequency, season, heating preference and whether the project is private, hospitality or commercial. - Measure the complete footprint.
Include steps, an open cover, heater, chimney, plant access, doors, changing space and safe circulation around the product. - Survey delivery access.
Photograph gates, turns, slopes, overhead restrictions, soft ground and the route from unloading point to prepared base. - Confirm services and groundwork.
Resolve bearing capacity, drainage, electrical work, water supply and any chimney or local trade responsibilities before production approval. - Approve one written configuration.
Model, dimensions, materials, heater, controls, accessories, delivery scope and exclusions should be recorded together. - Keep the handover documents.
Retain the approved drawing, technical information, invoice and operating instructions for maintenance and future parts.
Delivery planning across the UK and Ireland
These products are large installations, so a postcode alone cannot establish the final delivery method. A level open drive in southern England is different from a narrow urban passage, a Scottish island connection, a steep Welsh garden or a remote Irish property. The quotation should identify transport scope, unloading responsibility and whether the unit arrives assembled, in modules or as a kit.
Send photographs and the narrowest route measurements before finalising a model. Keep the proposed access open until the packed dimensions and lifting plan are confirmed. Electrical connections, foundations, plumbing, drainage and site-specific chimney work normally require suitable local preparation around the approved product drawing.
Useful guides for the decisions behind the product
Use these pages when the product family is clear but the project details are not. Each guide answers a separate planning question rather than repeating the category pages.

Common questions before choosing a category
Does TimberIN only manufacture wood-fired hot tubs?
No. Wood-fired tubs are an important part of the range, but the catalogue also includes electric, pellet and compatible hybrid heating routes, outdoor saunas, mobile saunas, cold plunges, showers and pods. Availability depends on the selected model and written configuration.
Can a wood-fired hot tub include massage jets?
Yes, where the selected vessel supports a compatible air-bubble or hydro-massage package. The stove heats the water; pumps or blowers require electricity and add filtration, servicing and winter-planning considerations.
Which page should I use for wood-fired hot-tub models?
Use the wood-fired hot-tub category for current models and detailed buying guidance. Use its price guide when your main question is the complete project budget.
What information makes an initial enquiry useful?
Send normal occupancy, preferred product family and heating route, postcode, site photographs, narrowest access measurements and the proposed base. Mention whether the installation is private, guest-facing or commercial.
Start with the product family and the real site
Tell TimberIN how the installation will be used, where it must be delivered and which services are available. The team can then direct you to the right model family and prepare a configuration around the project rather than a generic photograph.
