A pod sauna with a genuinely usable covered threshold \u00b7 Made-to-order outdoor sauna<\/p>\n

TimberIN Nordic Pod\u2122 Porch: choose a compact canopy or a full sauna-and-dressing layout<\/h2>\n

\n<\/header>\n

\n

The extra length has a purpose in every version<\/h2>\n

Model 1 keeps the building compact and uses its 500 mm canopy as a protected place to open the door, pause or keep the immediate threshold drier. Model 2 is a substantially different product: its 2500 mm hot room increases usable sauna space, while the 1000 mm dressing room provides separation for robes, footwear and cooling. The pod roof unifies both layouts visually. Because only the sauna room is heated to bathing temperature, internal partitions and heater sizing should follow the chosen plan rather than the complete external length.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Two Porch plans with no ambiguous room arithmetic<\/h2>\n

Nordic Pod Porch simplifies the normal custom-Pod decisions into two plans. Model 1 combines a 2-metre sauna room with a 500 mm open canopy for an overall 2.5-metre body. Model 2 provides a 2.5-metre sauna, 1-metre dressing room and 500 mm canopy in a 4-metre body. The linked two-model sheet gives approximately 2\u20134 people\/1,000 kg for Model 1 and 6\u20138\/1,400 kg for Model 2, with a common 2,350 mm width and 2,500 mm body height.<\/p>\n

Model 1 for a focused sauna; Model 2 for a complete arrival sequence<\/h2>\n

Model 1 is best where the sauna itself matters and the canopy is enough transition. It is lighter, shorter and simpler to deliver. Model 2 earns its length by providing a genuine changing room behind glass and a larger stated group capacity. The 2.5-metre hot room must still be checked against the selected heater and glazing. Spruce keeps the classic light finish; Thermowood darkens the exterior. M3 gives inside-loaded wood heat, M3 SL external loading, and 9 kW Cilindro a clean electrical routine.<\/p>\n

The included lighting lets the buyer focus on heat, glass and insulation<\/h2>\n

Under-bench and entrance lighting are already listed, so there is no need to add them twice. Insulation is the main winter-performance option and is technically strongest in a factory build. Panoramic glass improves outlook but increases losses and privacy needs; two small windows are more restrained. Roof colour is aesthetic. Pre-assembly preserves the multi-room alignment and needs lifting; flat pack can solve access, but Model 2\u2019s glass dressing room makes experienced assembly and dry weather particularly important.<\/p>\n

\n

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

Already included:<\/strong> (1) Benches as in pictures; (2) Entrance wooden door with a small window; (3) Ventilation; (4) LED under the benches in the sauna room; (5) 2 Harvia lamps above the entrance door from both sides<\/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

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
  • Recommended for 4 – 5 meter sauna room: Harvia 20 PRO + chimney<\/li>\n
  • Recommended for 4 – 5 meter sauna room: Harvia 20 SL + chimney (logs loaded from outside instead of inside)<\/li>\n
  • Need different wood burning stove? Contact us!<\/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 – 3 meter sauna room: Cilindro 9 kW (PC90) with an integrated control unit (already included)<\/li>\n
    • Recommended for 4 meter sauna room: Cilindro 11 kW (PC110XE) including a separate control unit<\/li>\n
    • Need different electric stove? Contact us!<\/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

      Thermal insulation<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • For sauna 2 \u2013 3 m. of length: complete insulation + decorative wood panelling (due to technical reasons, recommended for factory assembled saunas)<\/li>\n
      • For sauna 4 \u2013 5 m. of length: complete insulation + decorative wood panelling (due to technical reasons, recommended for factory assembled saunas)<\/li>\n
      • Without insulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Advantages:<\/strong> Insulating the sauna envelope reduces heat loss, improves winter recovery and makes temperature more stable between the heater and benches; decorative internal panelling also protects the insulated build-up.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

        \n

        Window type<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • 2 small windows<\/li>\n
        • Panoramic window (glass area 50%)<\/li>\n
        • Panoramic window (glass area 80%)<\/li>\n
        • Panoramic window (glass area 100%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Advantages:<\/strong> More glazing opens the hot room to the landscape, brings daylight to the benches and makes a compact sauna feel less enclosed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

          \n

          Roof colour<\/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

            Model 2 is not a four-metre heated room<\/h2>\n

            Only the 2.5-metre sauna section of Model 2 should be used for heater volume; the dressing room and canopy are outside the hot-room calculation. Model 1 heats an approximately 2-metre room. The technical sheet recommends heater families but does not promise minutes. Insulation, glass, outdoor temperature and stone mass determine the real routine. Commission with correct ventilation and make the first winter result the basis for scheduling.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

            \n

            Decide whether shelter alone is enough<\/h2>\n

            Choose Model 1 where garden space is limited and users can change elsewhere. Choose Model 2 when the sauna must operate more independently in cold or wet weather, or when guest turnover benefits from an internal buffer. Set out the complete footprint, including porch steps and door swings, and provide a level drained base beneath all sections. Confirm delivery access, glazing orientation, ventilation and the heater\u2019s electrical or chimney route. Keep the canopy and dressing-room thresholds clear of water carried from a nearby plunge or hot tub.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
