However, if you are looking to house a hot tub in a summer house or outdoor building, there are some things to consider, this article will explore the different options and how you can ensure that your building is suitable for housing a hot tub.

Different Options

Should you be looking to house a hot tub in your garden, and want to enjoy it during the cooler months too there are some different options available for you to consider:

Summerhouses

Choosing a contemporary and large summer house will give you the opportunity to install a hot tub. Depending on the size of the summerhouse you have installed you will be able to enjoy your hot tub and other activities too. With a range of options available you are sure to find something that meets your needs, requirements and desires.

Log Cabins

Log cabins are available in generous sizes, so you can rest assured that you will be able to install a log cabin along with a hot tub and room for activities. A log cabin doesn’t have to be long either, you can get nice symmetrical square designs that meet your requirements.

Pool Houses

Another option that you could explore is a pool house, a well-designed pool house will allow you to enjoy the hot tub with a designated area to get changed before and after you use the tub. What’s more, some pool houses are designed so you can fully open the side doors so you can enjoy the summer season as well as the winter.

Making a Garden Building Suitable to House a Hot Tub

As well as considering the style of building that you want to house a hot tub you will also need to ensure that the building is suitable enough to house your hot tub. Some of the things you should consider include:

• The hot tub weight – a hot tub filled with water is far from light, so you need to ensure that whatever you choose has a strong enough base to hold the filled tub
• Ventilation – to prevent the rot of wood the garden building should have a good level of ventilation
• Treat the wood – treat the wood with a recommended treatment to prevent moisture from getting into the wood
• Space – no matter what type of hot tub building you choose you should have enough room in the building to access all working parts of the hot tub
• Fit – will the hot tub fit in the building when it is built? We have seen individuals struggle to fit the hot tub through the doors of a completed garden building, so we would recommend building the base, inserting the hot tub and finish the building around the hot tub
