A gazebo can make a world of difference when it comes to hot tub ambiance, comfort and privacy. It can provide shade, shield wind and create a private intimate setting – not to mention add a classy-looking surround to an inflatable spa.
You don’t have to build an expensive or permanent structure, either. You can get a stylish and inexpensive structure that can be set up in an afternoon – complete with canopy, privacy panels and mosquito netting.
Why a Hot Tub Gazebo?
If you’re wondering how you can make your backyard look more attractive – while adding function and not spending a lot of money – consider a gazebo. They can be used on a deck, a patio or on the grass, staked to the ground.
Most structures cover seating or dining areas (they aren’t actually gazebos for hot tubs), therefore they allow plenty of space for a 8-foot diameter spa. Even with privacy panels or mosquito netting drawn, there is plenty of space to walk around the spa while still underneath a 10′ x 10′ gazebo.
Plus, you can move them if necessary and use them for other activities. Let’s say you are hosting a party or backyard barbecue. Simply move your gazebo to cover a table or lounge area. They can also be very festive when you hang string lights from them.
What are the Drawbacks of a Gazebo?
Keep in mind that these structures are non-permanent and moveable. Therefore, they are also not designed to stand up to extreme weather, such as gusty winds, strong storms or heavy amounts of snow. Take your gazebo down in periods like this to extend the life of the fabric.
