Wood-fired hot tubs · 5 min read

Which wood-fired hot tub should you choose?

A wood-fired hot tub is chosen first for how it will be used and where it will stand, then for its finish. These are the criteria that matter, with the real specifications of our models.

A garden tub to share

Start from how you will use it, not from the catalogue

Two questions are enough to rule out half the models: how many people bathe at once, and where will the tub stand? Our wood-fired hot tubs seat 2 to 9 adults.

  • For two: the oval Ofuro tub, for 2 adults.
  • For family or friends: the round Elite and Prime tubs, 4 to 7 adults depending on diameter.
  • For entertaining: the Prime Deep (8 to 9 adults, 224 cm diameter) or the square Eye (8 to 9 adults).

Shape, volume and footprint

Round, oval or square: the shape changes the feel and the space required. Round tubs are shared in a circle, the oval Ofuro is deeper and narrower, the square models (Monaco, Munich, Berlin, Eye) offer more seating surface.

Allow room around the tub to get in and out, to place the supplied steps, and to clear the external heater and chimney depending on the model. External dimensions are shown on each product page.

Integrated or external heater

The integrated heater (stainless steel, 35 kW) sits inside the tub: the outside stays compact, but it takes up part of the volume. The external heater (stainless steel, 22 kW in the base version) stands alongside: the tub is completely free for bathers, with one more item of equipment to plan for around it.

In both cases the heating is wood-fired. An optional electric booster heater is available: see our guide to wood-fired and electric heating.

Understand wood-fired and electric heating

Finishes: wood, tub shell and lid

The base cladding is Scandinavian spruce, with more than six colours to choose from. Thermowood, composite and several tub colours are available as options. The folding insulated lid and the steps are included.

Read the materials guide

Check the location before you order

  • A flat, stable floor able to carry the filled tub (weight to be confirmed by the manufacturer).
  • A water point for filling and a way to drain.
  • A chimney position compatible with local rules and your neighbours, for you to check.
  • Truck access to your address, a tail lift if needed, possibly a crane (not included).
  • Mains power only if you add jets, filtration, lighting or electric heating.

Prepare the installation step by step

Frequently asked questions

How many people fit in a 200 cm wood-fired hot tub?

It depends on the model: the Elite S (Ø 200 cm, integrated heater) is rated for 4 to 6 adults, the Prime (Ø 200 cm, external heater) for 6 to 7 adults. Capacity is shown on each product page.

Is an electrical connection needed?

Not for the base configuration, which is wood-fired. You need a power supply if you add jets, filtration, lighting or electric heating.

Are “on request” models available?

They appear in the manufacturer’s catalogue, but availability must be confirmed in writing before any quotation.

Specifications come from the manufacturer’s catalogue; anything still to be confirmed is flagged. This site is a demonstration: no online payment.
