Log cabin hot tub covers: Real customer inspiration for garden spa covers

Why use a log cabin or gazebo for a hot tub cover?

Using a log cabin or gazebo to cover your hot tub, transforms your space into an all-weather retreat and means you can enjoy your hot tub in any weather. 

The benefits of using a log cabin or gazebo as a hot tub shelter include:

• Privacy: Stop neighbours or passersby from being able to see you relaxing in your hot tub 

• Weatherproofing: Shelter from either the sun or the rain and enjoy a spa-like experience whatever the weather

• Aesthetic appeal: Enhance your outdoor space with a stylish timber garden building that’s both attractive and functional 

• Functionality: Combine your hot tub experience with additional seating, a bar or storage

Customer projects and real-life hot tub shelter ideas

Rianne Summerhouse

Our Rianne Summerhouse is the perfect size for a hot tub shelter at 2.5m. This is a compact model that’s extremely versatile. The Rianne is great for smaller gardens and provides an indoor space for getting changed, entertaining or relaxing.

Syros Gazebo

This Syros Gazebo has been purchased by one of our customers to be used as a hot tub cover and provides a stylish and effective solution. The addition of shingles as a roofing option gives the shelter a rustic look and will provide longevity for this shelter.

The Syros Gazebo is made with untreated larch which means it will weather over time in a similar way to oak. However, if you want to preserve the rich colour of the larch it can be treated with our timber treatments such as Carefree Protectant Timber Treatment.

Marit Log Cabin Gazebo

Here’s our Marit Log Cabin Gazebo (4x4m) being used as a hot tub shelter. It’s similar to our Syros Gazebo but the additional walls provide extra privacy and protection. This model provides the perfect blend of openness and shelter so you can enjoy your hot tub whatever the weather.

Jutka Gazebo Log Cabin
