The Solo 205 asks for a strip \u003cstrong\u003e1.25 m deep\u003c\/strong\u003e — the width of a garden path — and still seats two to three people on full-length benches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole design. A conventional cabin needs a 2 m × 2 m footprint before you have sat down. By running the benches along the \u003cstrong\u003e2.05 m\u003c\/strong\u003e front and putting the heater in the corner, the Solo 205 fits down the side of a house, along a fence line, or on a patio that would not take anything else. The full-height bronze glass front means a shallow cabin still feels open rather than boxed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy thermowood matters here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is thermowood throughout — timber kiln-treated at 180–220°C in a low-oxygen chamber. That is not a surface coating. It changes the wood itself, closing the cells so it absorbs far less moisture, which is what stops outdoor timber cupping, twisting and splitting through a British winter. No chemical preservatives are involved, and it weathers to a stable silver-brown rather than going grey and rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e42 mm side walls, 28 mm rear.\u003c\/strong\u003e The thickness is where the heat retention comes from: a well-insulated 5 m³ room reaches temperature quickly and holds it, so a modest heater does the job and running costs stay sensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–3 people\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2050 mm W × 1250 mm D × 2100 mm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal bench run\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1930 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeated volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 5 m³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide walls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 mm thermowood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear wall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 mm thermowood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull glass wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 mm tempered bronze glass, 1690 × 590 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermo-aspen — stays cool to the touch at temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitumen shingles — black, red, green or brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 500 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pallet, 200 × 120 × 90 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything structural.
