Why a wooden gazebo is the best investment for your hot tub setup

In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of a hot tub shelter, the factors you need to consider when choosing your gazebo and the best products for your garden.

The benefits of a hot tub shelter

1. Year-round use and weather protection

We all know how temperamental the UK weather is but that doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying your hot tub. A wooden gazebo provides a protective canopy, shielding your peaceful spa-like space from the elements and even providing shade from the sun during hotter summer days so you can enjoy a relaxing experience from the comfort of your own home without having to worry about the weather.

2. Added privacy

There’s nothing worse than relaxing in your hot tub and having nosy neighbours looking over. A hot tub shelter will provide added privacy so you can soak in peace after a long day. You can even enhance privacy further with screens, gazebos with sides or climbing plants strategically placed in planters around your gazebo to create a more secluded spa-like experience.

A wooden gazebo is great for creating a secluded space in your garden and is perfect for more urban gardens that are more overlooked by neighbours.

3. Aesthetic appeal

Wooden gazebos provide an attractive feature for your garden. Choosing the right gazebo will allow you to create a garden building that sits perfectly in your garden and creates a focal point. A hot tub shelter will provide a functional space that not only protects your hot tub from the elements but adds a stylish feature to your outdoor space that you can enjoy for years to come.

4. Protect your hot tub

Exposure to the elements can shorten the lifespan of your hot tub. Rain, snow and UV rays can all have a detrimental impact on your hot tub. By installing a hot tub shelter, you can keep your hot tub and cover protected from unnecessary wear and tear and keep your hot tub in the best condition for you to use all-year round.

5. Versatility and added function

A gazebo can provide more than just a shelter for your hot tub. A larger gazebo gives you space for your hot tub and possibly a changing area you can use before you jump in. Or, if you enjoy entertaining, you could set up a seating or dining area so you can get even more use from your outdoor space.

Add lighting for evening ambience, side panels for wind protection, or even a bar for entertaining. You could even combine your gazebo with decking to create a full outdoor space that you can utilise all-year round.

Adding a wooden gazebo to your garden as a hot tub shelter is a great investment for your garden and will provide both a practical space you can use to enjoy relaxing and entertaining.

What to consider when choosing a hot tub shelter

When choosing a hot tub shelter for your garden, there are several factors to consider to make sure you choose the right option for your garden. Think about how you want to use the shelter, your budget and how you want it to look in your garden.

Size and shape

Think about the size of your garden and the space you have available when choosing a wooden hot tub shelter. Measure your hot tub and the surrounding area to ensure there’s enough room for the shelter and for you to access it from your house or garden. If you want to include steps, seating or decking, make sure you leave enough room to install it.

Material

Gazebos are available in a range of materials including wood, metal and even composite. Every material has its own pros and cons so thinking about factors such as your budget and how you want the hot tub shelter to look can help you make the right choice.

At Tuin, all our hot tub shelters are manufactured from timber which provides a durable garden building that’s more resistant to rot, decay and warping than other woods such as pine. This means you’ll have a long lasting and durable garden structure that withstands the changeable UK weather and will stay looking its best.

Purpose

Do you want the gazebo to cover just the hot tub, or do you want a changing area or space for seating? Deciding on whether you just want a shelter that will cover your hot tub or whether you want extra space to build a full relaxation area will help you to choose the right structure for your garden.

Planning permission

In most cases, a wooden gazebo used as a hot tub shelter won’t require planning permission, especially if it’s under 2.5m in height and away from boundaries. However, it’s always best to check with your local council if you’re in a conservation area or installing a larger structure.
