About

Heat that comes from a fire you tend yourself. Hot Tub Ofuro brings the Japanese soaking tub tradition to wood fired heating, 190 x 120cm of oval Thermowood built to handle everything a British garden delivers across the year. The oval shape gives more room to stretch out than a tight round design. A slower ritual than an electric tub, and one many people come to prefer once they have properly tried it.

Wood fired hot tub bathing draws on a long tradition across Nordic and Japanese cultures, where the slower, more involved process of heating water by fire is part of the wellbeing ritual rather than an inconvenience to be automated away. The heat itself delivers familiar benefits: warm water immersion increases blood flow, eases muscle tension, and many people find it genuinely calming after a long day or following physical exertion.

What sets the wood fired experience apart is the process itself. Tending the fire, watching the water gradually warm, and the patience that requires, is increasingly recognised as valuable in its own right, offering a deliberate slowdown that's harder to find in an instant, button-operated alternative. Many owners describe the build-up to a wood fired soak as being as much a part of the relaxation as the bath itself, a chance to step outside, be present with a simple physical task, and let the pace of modern life drop away for an hour or two.

For households specifically drawn to a Nordic or Japanese-inspired wellness routine, a wood fired tub like the Ofuro brings authenticity that an electric spa simply can't replicate. The oval traditional profile supports a relaxed, reclined soak for two or three people, making it a genuinely social ritual as well as a personal one, well suited to a slower weekend evening rather than a quick, convenient dip.
Delivered flat-packed for self-assembly, with free UK mainland delivery on qualifying orders. The larger Cube format requires a little more assembly time than the smaller Icon models, so we recommend allowing a weekend and having a second person to help. A solid, level base and suitable delivery access are required.

For a complete setup, select Professional Installation and choose your preferred date, allowing for the stated production lead time. We’ll then arrange the installation around your requirements, including any additional preparation or works needed to accommodate your sauna where possible.

Electric sauna heaters require a suitable dedicated electrical supply and are not simply plug-and-play. The power requirements depend on the heater's output and the electrical supply available at the property.

Smaller heaters may be suitable for a 230V single-phase supply, while larger or more powerful heaters can require a 400V three-phase supply. Single-phase power uses one electrical phase, whereas three-phase power distributes the load across three phases and is better suited to higher-powered equipment.

The correct supply will depend on the specific heater you choose, so the heater's electrical requirements should always be checked before installation.

Sauna heaters will normally need to be hard-wired into a correctly rated dedicated circuit with the appropriate cable, isolation and electrical protection. They should not be connected using a standard household plug or extension lead.

The final electrical connection should be completed by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with the heater manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations. This is important for both safety and reliable operation of the heater.

If you're based in the Leicestershire area, we can arrange the electrical installation of your sauna heater for an additional fee. Please speak to our team if you'd like this included with your sauna.

Wood-fired sauna heaters do not require an electrical supply for heating, but they do require the correct installation of the stove, chimney, flue and surrounding heat protection.

The stove must be positioned according to the manufacturer's required safety distances from timber walls, benches and other combustible materials. Depending on the stove and sauna design, suitable heat shields or other non-combustible protection may also be required.

The floor beneath and immediately around the stove may also require suitable non-combustible protection, particularly where there is a risk of embers or hot material falling from the stove.

A suitable chimney and flue system must be installed to safely carry smoke and combustion gases outside the sauna. Where the flue passes through the roof, the correct insulated chimney components, roof flashing and heat-resistant protection should be used.

Correct ventilation is also important. A wood-fired stove requires an adequate supply of combustion air, while the sauna itself needs sufficient airflow to provide fresh air, circulate heat and allow moisture to escape.

When choosing the position of an outdoor wood-fired sauna, you should also consider where the chimney will discharge in relation to your house, neighbouring properties, windows, boundaries and outdoor seating areas.

Any applicable local requirements should be checked before installation, particularly where chimney positioning, smoke control or other restrictions may apply.

A wood fired Thermowood hot tub needs a bit more involved care than an electric spa, given the burner and fire management involved. After each use, let the firebox cool fully before any cleaning out of ash, and clear it before your next session to ensure good airflow for efficient burning. Check the burner and any flue components periodically for soot build-up, which affects heating efficiency over time if left unaddressed.

For the tub itself, drain and refresh the water regularly depending on usage frequency, and give the interior a wipe down periodically, particularly at the waterline where residue from bathing products or skin oils tends to collect. Check stave joints and any fittings for leaks, especially after the tub has been left empty for an extended period, since timber can shrink slightly when dry and take a fill or two to seal properly again.

Externally, Thermowood's heat treatment gives strong natural resistance to weathering, so it needs little beyond an occasional check for surface wear. A light oil treatment every couple of years maintains the original colour if you prefer that to the natural silvery grey patina Thermowood develops over time outdoors.
This tub comes with a 5 year warranty for residential use and 2 years for commercial use, covering structural timber and hardware. Valid claims are assessed case by case, and we'll supply replacement parts wherever possible rather than the whole tub.
Production takes 2-4 weeks, plus 1-2 weeks dispatch time for pallet haulage. This tub is delivered flat packed unless otherwise stated. Free UK mainland shipping applies to orders over £500 covering up to one double pallet (2.4m x 1.2m x 2.2m) or two single pallets (1.2m x 1.2m x 2.2m). If your order exceeds this due to length, weight, or quantity, additional pallet charges may apply and are quoted separately based on postcode. Please have a solid base, clear access, and suitable unloading space ready before delivery. Pallet deliveries are kerbside only, and you're responsible for moving goods onto your property.

When choosing the position of an outdoor wood-fired sauna, you should also consider where the chimney will discharge in relation to your house, neighbouring properties, windows, boundaries and outdoor seating areas.

Any applicable local requirements should be checked before installation, particularly where chimney positioning, smoke control or other restrictions may apply.

A slower ritual, the traditional way

The Hot Tub "Ofuro" brings the traditional Japanese soaking tub format to wood fired heating, with an oval 190 by 120 centimetre footprint and 97 centimetre depth that gives a slightly more spacious feel than a round tub of similar capacity. Thermowood construction means the timber has been heat treated to resist moisture and decay, a sensible choice for a vessel that will spend its life full of heated water outdoors, exposed to everything a British garden can throw at it across the seasons.

Wood firing remains the most traditional way to heat an outdoor tub, with a stove built into or alongside the tub itself rather than relying on electricity, which suits anyone who wants their hot tub experience to feel closer to a Nordic or Japanese bathing tradition than a typical spa installation built around a control panel and a pump. The oval shape gives a bit more room to stretch out than a tighter round design, useful for anyone planning to share the tub regularly rather than using it solo on quieter evenings.

Ofuro suits a garden setup built around the ritual of heating and using the tub as much as the soak itself, a slower, more involved experience than an electric alternative but one many people come to prefer once they have tried it properly, finding that the process of tending a fire becomes part of the relaxation rather than a chore to get through before the actual soaking begins.
