Florians Hütten

Florians Hütten is a German manufacturer specializing in highly customizable garden houses, sheds, saunas, playhouses, and weekend homes, offered as ready-to-assemble kits. As a brand of Chiemgauer Holzhaus, Florians Hütten benefits from a long-standing tradition in timber construction. Chiemgauer Holzhaus began building wooden garden houses in 1981 and has roots in a sawmill and paper mill established by the current owners' grandparents in 1936. Headquartered in Traunstein, Bavaria, Florians Hütten prides itself on not being an importer, with all garden houses manufactured locally using high-quality wood sourced from the nearby Salzburger Land. They explicitly state they do not produce "DIY store quality" but adhere to superior standards, evidenced by their RAL certification, membership in the Gütegemeinschaft Blockhausbau (Quality Association for Log House Construction), and status as a founding member of the Deutscher Massivholz- und Blockhausverband (German Solid Wood and Log House Association - DMBV). The company's core offering is its "Gartenhaus Konfigurator," an online tool that allows customers to design their individual garden house without rigid grid dimensions. This configurator enables extensive customization, including unique floor plans, various roof forms, diverse surface finishes, and adjustable dimensions for length, width, height, and roof pitch, even offering one- or two-room layouts. Florians Hütten employs a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing technology. After a customer submits their configuration, a qualified team of construction technicians and master carpenters creates detailed 3D plans using specialized software for timber constructions. Machine data is then generated to control an automated milling line, which processes individual log planks with remarkable precision, tolerating deviations under 0.5 mm. While much of the work is automated, various components are still hand-finished, followed by thorough quality and optical inspections before the kits are UV-sealed and packaged for delivery. Annually, the parent company Chiemgauer Holzhaus and Florians Hütten collectively process around 2500 cubic meters of wood, constructing approximately 30 residential homes and numerous garden houses. Their expertise spans over 35 years in modern timber construction, ensuring durable and precisely engineered products for discerning customers primarily within Germany.
