Hot Tub Enclosure

Hot Tub Enclosures can dramatically increase the usability of your hot tub. Also called spa enclosres, hot tub gazebos, or even hot tub canopy, they come in a large range of styles limited only by the imagination.

Hot tub enclosures can be as simple as only provide a roof over the spa. They can be open like a gazebo, or more enclosed with walls and windows.

Hot Tub Enclosure 

Looking for a hot tub enclosure will surely get you bewildered over the abundance of hot tub enclosure designs and styles that are available. Not only does a hot tub enclosure add to the beauty of your back yard or patio, it also protects the tub itself from the elements and provide you with privacy. Not to mention that with an enclosed tub, you can now extend the usage dramatically, possibly even year round.

Choosing the right hot tub enclosure will add privacy, style and extended usability to your tub

Tub enclosures can be open to the air, or completely enclosed. They can provide privacy only, or function as a year round hot spring!

The hot tub and spa enclosures available for purchase usually come in the form of a kit. Depending on the complexity of the enclosure it may only require a few hours before you have your brand new enclosed hot tub. If you are a bit handy, you will probably do this on your own, no problem. Whany buying a kit, do make sure you know what is included, and that the instrucitons are detailed anough for you to follow.

Most, if not all, kits do not include the pad where the tub and the enclosure rest on. Making a permananet pad, or floor, may be something that requires a permit. Permits are easy to get, and can be costly if not gotten and some utility line is encroached upon! Costly indeed, as soon as it is known that the structure was built without a permit.

Investigate what type of pad, or concrete floring that would be required to hold the heavy tub, and the enclosure.

                                                 Enclosures For Privacy

 1. Planting A Hedge. If privacy is your goal, simply planting a hedge, or erecting lattice walls where wines can grow can make for a lovely get away amongst flower and leaves.

2.  A Lattice Wall also allows for star gazing while soaking on the tub late in the night. Plan the lattice walls allowing for plenty of space. This type on enclosure may be more suitable for southern locations where snow is not a threat.

                                                 3. A Screen Wall. The easiest way to get some privacy around the tub is simply a screen wall. It can be moved around and even removed with ease.

Hot Tub Enclosures For Colder Climates

The most versatile for year round use is the spa enclosure containing both walls and a roof. Soaking in a hot tub when the temperature has dipped is simply delicious, and using a totally enclosed enclosure will keep you out of the frigid wind, and will ensure total privacy if bathing au naturel.

 With a complete tub enclosure, do not skimp on the space. It is nice to have a few feet of open space around the tub. Maybe for a chair, or a small table, or for folks to relax outside the tub but still being able to stay within the enclosure. Kits for a total spa enclosure will come with windows allowing you to add screens to allow both for privacy and day light.

Yet other styles of tub enclosures are of a pavilion style with four comumns and a roof, but no walls. This is great when shade is desired, and screens or curtains can be added as walls for privacy. These are best used in temperate climates.
