A TICRA garden house is not just a little shed to store stuff in. There’s so much more to it than that. How about a Finnish Kota (barbecue house) or office in your own garden?! Our pod-shaped garden offices are ideal for those who want to escape their busy home and get on with their work efficiently in peace and quiet. The Finnish Kota can be used for various purposes, including barbecue house, relaxation room, B&B, studio, meditation room, sauna or guest house.

Enjoy the Finnish Kota
Experience that great outdoor feeling all year round with a Finnish Kota in your own garden. The Finnish Kota has its origins in Scandinavia, where these houses are used to provide comfort and warmth when staying out in the wilderness, such as on hikes that cover several days. This kota's distinctive hexagonal or octagonal shape and wooden interior ensure a cosy atmosphere. A Finnish Kota can be kitted out as a barbecue house, though also as a sauna or a combination of the two!
Benefits of a garden office
Garden offices are becoming increasingly common in the Netherlands. Some people convert their garden house, build an office extension on their property, or create a shed office. Ticra Outdoor's garden offices are freestanding and the iconic pod shape will make our garden offices a real eye-catching feature in your garden.
FAQs on Finnish Kotas
A Finnish Kota should be sited on a flat surface, preferably made of stone or concrete. Your order will come accompanied by a drawing specifying the exact dimensions that the foundation should have.

The pinewood Finnish kotas should be treated with a woodstain. We’d advise you to use a woodstain from the Finnish brand Tikkurila. Tikkurila is a high-quality woodstain for wooden houses, outdoor saunas and garden houses.
Yes, no problem. The Finnish kota can be used for various purposes.
Enjoy cosy dinners with a barbecue kota or relax in an authentic Finnish sauna with the traditional Finnish sauna kota. The unique distinctive features of a Finnish kota also make them ideal for cold, windy and rainy climates.
Finnish Kota with barbecue Finnish kota as sauna
The kota is also available without barbecue or sauna facilities. Allowing you to use the space for plenty of other purposes, such as: relaxation room/meditation room, office, garden house, B&B, home hairdressing salon, studio. The possibilities are endless!
Kotas are generally exempt from planning permission requirements. That said, it will depend on the size of the location, where you wish to install it and in which municipality you live.
You can check out the possibilities on the following website: www.omgevingsloket.nl. Or contact your local authority.
FAQs on Garden Houses
As our Office Pods are movable as garden offices, they don’t qualify as static building structures. Ordinarily, then, planning permission isn’t required for the purposes of installing a pod as a garden office. Just to be sure, we recommend always consulting local regulations/by-laws on the installation of outbuildings and garden houses in your garden.
The ground underneath a garden office needs to be 100% level. You can use a flat surface for this, such as clinker brinks or a concrete floor.
