Product Description
A four-metre Hobbiton form with two widths · Made-to-order outdoor sauna
TimberIN Nordic Hobbiton™ Glass: rounded architecture, ergonomic benches and an optional glass front
A characterful shell with a genuinely consequential glazing choice
The Hobbiton profile uses a broad rounded roof and upright lower walls to create a distinctive exterior with useful internal shoulder room. At 4000 mm long, it can support a more developed sauna arrangement than the smallest pods. The 1950 mm width keeps the building relatively contained; 2400 mm opens the interior and changes foundation and delivery requirements. A full-glass front transforms light and outlook but also increases exposure and heat loss. Spruce and Thermowood then give the same architecture notably different colour and weathering character.
Four Hobbiton plans around one 4-metre length
Hobbiton Glass is a two-room oval/pod-style sauna rather than a single open hot room. The sheet fixes the length at 4,000 mm and offers a narrower 1,950 mm or broader 2,400 mm body, each with either the standard front or full-glass front and ergonomic benches. Nominal occupancy remains 2–4 people and dry weight about 1,200 kg. The wider body improves lateral room, while full glass changes heat loss and privacy more than capacity.

Width improves room comfort; glass changes the thermal brief
Choose 1,950 mm where access and footprint dominate, and 2,400 mm where broader benches and circulation justify the width. The standard front retains more privacy and a more timber-led envelope. The full-glass version provides the architectural view and ergonomic seating, with higher heat loss and cleaning. M3 gives inside-loaded wood heat; M3 SL keeps ash and logs outside the room; Cilindro 9 kW offers electric control. Since all are two-room designs, confirm the hot-room cubic volume—not the complete 4-metre envelope—against the heater.

Only the sauna room is heated
A 4-metre outside length does not mean a 4-metre hot room because the dressing area is separate. Heater sizing and warm-up must use the actual sauna-room volume plus an allowance for the glass. The sheet recommends M3/M3 SL or 9 kW Cilindro but does not promise minutes. The full-glass version will lose more heat than the timber-front equivalent. Commission each design with its intended ventilation and record a realistic winter routine.
Choose width and glass together, then size the heater
Lay out the benches and regular users at both widths before deciding that wider is automatically better. Confirm how the full-glass option affects the required heater output for the room and local climate. Orient the façade towards a private, worthwhile view and check nighttime reflections and neighbouring sightlines. The 4000 mm shell needs a measured delivery route and a stable level base that drains around the perimeter. Finalise door, ventilation, electrical or flue route and maintenance access before adjacent decking or planting closes in.
Before production: TimberIN products are individually made, so published measurements are approximate.
