A four-metre Hobbiton form with two widths \u00b7 Made-to-order outdoor sauna<\/p>\n

TimberIN Nordic Hobbiton\u2122 Glass: rounded architecture, ergonomic benches and an optional glass front<\/h2>\n

\n<\/header>\n

\n

A characterful shell with a genuinely consequential glazing choice<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Four Hobbiton plans around one 4-metre length<\/h2>\n

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\u20134 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.<\/p>\n

Width improves room comfort; glass changes the thermal brief<\/h2>\n

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\u2014not the complete 4-metre envelope\u2014against the heater.<\/p>\n

A complete base layout with a small number of meaningful finishes<\/h2>\n

Dressing room, partition, round glazing and ventilation are already included, so the remaining selections refine safety and exterior character. A heater fence establishes a visible boundary but does not remove clearances. Entrance lamps improve approach lighting and require heat\/weather-rated wiring. Roof colour is aesthetic. Factory assembly protects the complex curved body and glass alignment but needs lifting; flat pack can solve access and allows manual unloading, while making weatherproof, accurate on-site assembly the buyer\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n

What the current configurator identifies as included<\/h3>\n

Already included:<\/strong> (1) Benches as in the pictures; (2) Entrance door with glass; (3) ventilation; (4) Dressing room; (5) Glassdoor between rooms; (6) A round glass inside the sauna<\/p>\n

Included equipment is valuable because it establishes a usable baseline. Displayed builds may contain additional systems, so the accepted quotation should repeat every included item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wood burning Harvia heaters<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Recommended for 2 – 4 meter sauna room: Harvia M3 + chimney (already included)<\/li>\n
  • Recommended for 2 – 4 meter sauna room: Harvia M3 SL + chimney (logs loaded from outside instead of inside)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Advantages:<\/strong> Harvia wood-burning heaters provide the traditional fire-and-stone sauna experience. M3 suits the smaller listed rooms, while 20 PRO serves the larger range; SL versions move log loading outside, keeping bark and ash out of the hot room.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    \n

    Electric Harvia heaters<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Recommended for 2 \u2013 3 meter sauna room: Cilindro 9 kW (PC90) with an integrated control unit (already included)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Advantages:<\/strong> A Cilindro electric heater offers repeatable thermostat control, no indoor fuel storage and a straightforward start-up routine. The listed 9 or 11 kW choices allow output to follow the actual heated sauna-room volume.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

      \n

      Sauna accessories<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • 2 Harvia lamps above the entrance door (both sides)<\/li>\n
      • Wooden fence (protection) in front of heater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Advantages:<\/strong> Heat-rated LED or Harvia lighting improves safe use after dark, a correctly matched water tank can provide warm water with a wood heater, and a timber heater fence creates a clear physical boundary around hot surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

        \n

        Roof color<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Black tiles<\/li>\n
        • Brown tiles<\/li>\n
        • Green tiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Advantages:<\/strong> Roof colour lets the sauna sit deliberately within the garden scheme without changing the room plan or bathing experience.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

          \n

          Only the sauna room is heated<\/h2>\n

          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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

          \n

          Choose width and glass together, then size the heater<\/h2>\n

          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 fa\u00e7ade 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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
