Frequently Asked Questions
Our Hot tubs heat up through convection. This process involves the stove drawing cooler water into the lower pipe. As the fire heats the water jacket around it, the water gradually warms up and ascends to the top of the water jacket surrounding the stove, exiting through the upper pipe. Heat rises, and this principle applies to water as well. As water molecules become heated, they start to vibrate and rise, similar to how warm air ascends.
The 2 person is slightly faster at 90 minutes, which uses a 24kw stove. the 4, 6 & 8 person heats up in around 2 hours. Heating times can be slightly improved with use of one of our wooden stirring paddles to mix the water 2-3 times during the heating process.
Modern hot tubs often feature plastic liners, but here at Birchwells, we take a more traditional approach. Our hot tubs are crafted with precision joinery, offering the natural feel and aroma of wood. As you fill your hot tub for the first time, the wood fibers will swell immediately. Within the first 24 hours, the swelling wood creates a tight seal between each joint, all reinforced by stainless steel tension cables. Initially, your hot tub may leak slightly, but after about 24 hours, the leaks will cease, and your hot tub will become watertight.
Yes. Once your hot tub has finished swelling, you must treat your hot tub for the first time with an oil of your choosing. We recommend Tung oil which leaves a natural finish on your hot tub, so you can preserve its natural beauty.
This depends on the wood species you choose. Our Canadian wester red cedar hot tubs can be expected to last 25 years, and our spruce hot tubs 15 with good yearly coats of oil.
Yes. Our hot tubs all have a two year warranty on all parts of the product.
One of the main challenges with hot tubs is their installation due to their heavy and bulky nature upon delivery, often compounded by limited access in gardens. The flat pack product offers a solution by delivering the hot tub in pieces. The more complex assembly steps are pre-done; you simply need to mount the staves onto the base, arrange the stainless steel cables around the hot tub's exterior, tighten them, and then position and secure the pre-cut seats and frames. We provide assembly instructions for those who wish to review them prior to purchase for added confidence. The flat pack construction is akin to assembling furniture from IKEA. As for the assembled hot tubs, they arrive ready-made, requiring only a quick 5-minute connection of the pipework to the heater.
Both variants of the hot tub arrive on a pallet which is tail lifted off the lorry. They will place the pallet at the closest point of your property for you to then unpack and move the hot tub and its components either to cover or to their desired final location.
Our stoves use exclusively wood to heat the water. You cannot use coal or any alternative fuel source. We often recommend using softwood to get the fire to temperature quickly and then moving onto hardwood. We always recommend quality kiln dried firewood. Never use freshly cut wood or garden waste.
Spa treatments such as saunas and hot tubs have been shown to provide several physiological benefits that can positively impact an individual's overall health. The heat generated in saunas can increase blood flow, resulting in improved circulation and the release of beneficial hormones, which can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Sweating induced by heat exposure can also aid in the elimination of toxins and support the immune system. Similarly, the warm water and buoyancy of hot tubs can help to ease muscle tension, reduce joint pain, and improve mobility. This effect is due to the heat's ability to dilate blood vessels and enhance circulation, resulting in increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the muscles and tissues. Overall, spa treatments have demonstrated a range of physical and physiological benefits that can support an individual's health and wellness.

ABOUT US
Our journey into manufacturing began with our love for woodworking and the joy of creating something truly special. When we built our first prototype in November 2022 for our family, the overwhelmingly positive feedback sparked an idea—why not bring this experience to more people? Seeing how much our loved ones enjoyed it, we knew we had something unique to share, and from the moment we fired up our first hot tub, we haven’t looked back.
From the start, we were driven by the idea of creating a sustainable product that not only delivers a unique experience but also aligns with our values. Wooden hot tubs powered by wood offer an entirely different kind of relaxation—immersing you in the natural scent of Scandinavian Pine or luxurious Canadian Cedar while being completely free of artificial materials. But beyond that, in today’s fast-paced world, we wanted to create something that helps people slow down, disconnect, and truly unwind. Our hot tubs provide a deep, buoyant soak that lets you float weightlessly, like in a swimming pool, while surrounded by nature—offering a sanctuary of peace and relaxation every time you step in.
Based near Sheffield, we are a passionate company that handcrafts every single hot tub in-house, meticulously refining every step of our process. From sourcing the highest quality Scandinavian Pine and Canadian Cedar to carefully inspecting every piece before it’s transformed, we take immense pride in the details. Every aspect of our production has been developed by us, through hands-on experience and continuous optimization. With each tub we build, we grow more professional, fine-tuning our craft while staying true to what this company has always been—a labor of love. And we’re not stopping here: keep an eye out for our upcoming sauna options, available in both wood types, coming later this year.
