Steamy Ideas For Your Hot Tub
By Christopher Smith
Before jumping into your brand new outdoor hot tub, consider what type of enclosure you're going to use for it. Whether you use fencing, a gazebo, a screen or a wood roof, its important to help protect your investment from damage from garbage, rain and bugs. Here are a couple of things to consider before you jump into your brand new hot tub.
Depending on your location and climate, you may find that it makes the most sense to completely enclose your outdoor sauna, with screens and a door to prevent any debris or insects from entering the hot tub whatsoever. There are many woodworking plans available that will enable a talented craftsman to build their own enclosure. This is cost effective yet it will require a commitment to finish the project. Whether you prefer to build your own enclosure or purchase one that simply requires assembly, you will find that enclosing your tub will have a direct effect on how much enjoyment you derive from your tub.
Indoor-outdoor enclosures abound and there are many styles available. If privacy is a concern, then you may choose to close all windows in with a darker tinted screen. If your backyard is already secluded with a privacy fence, then you may not require that your hot tub is shielded from view. You can choose gazebo style enclosures in a number of different wood finishes. These look beautiful and are functional as well. Cedar is a common wood used to create enclosures and Cedar is a natural mild insect repellant. It is used in many outdoor furnishings, for hanging plant containers, and makes a great outdoor tub enclosure.
If you have a flare for decorating, your hot tub enclosure will provide you with plenty of opportunities to decorate. Many enclosures have ample space, as do gazebos if you go that route. Just keep in mind that plants and flowers attract bugs, the very thing you got your enclosure to protect yourself from. There are plenty of ideas ranging from themes to flowers to using nothing but the wood finish you decided to go with.
Remember, its your enclosure, your piece of paradise right in your own backyard. Let your imagination run wild.
