Hot Tub Enclosures to Inspire Your Backyard Makeover

You can enjoy a hot tub during any season but Mother Nature can have other ideas. Wind, rain, snow might try to deter you from enjoying a relaxing soak. But a proper hot tub enclosure can make any day perfect to realize the benefits of a hot tub.

An enclosure for your hot tub or swim spa can help you avoid the elements while adding to your overall backyard design. Depending on the style, the enclosure can protect you from precipitation or provide shade in the summer. Enclosures, like a three-season room or solarium, can offer even more relief from the weather — including the wind. 

Even on the most blustery days, the water of your hot tub by Master Spas will be warm and relaxing. Master Spas products are designed to be used year-round, no matter the climate. Full foam insulation and quality covers help maintain the water temperature.

Hot Tub Enclosure Options

From minimal to grand, there are myriad options when it comes to hot tub enclosures. Choose to provide 360 protection or keep it open-air so you can enjoy the fresh air. 

Pergola. A pergola is an open-air structure that has support beams and a decorative roof. Columns or pillars support the structure.

Gazebo. Similar to a pergola, a gazebo is a permanent outdoor structure. It is often a hexagon or octagon shape with railing along the perimeter. 

Canopy. Often portable, an outdoor canopy would be staked down in the yard and provide shade for your hot tub. Some canopies have side walls that can be pulled back to catch a breeze. 

Solarium or three-season room. A glass enclosure, a solarium feels like an extension of the indoor living space. It allows plenty of natural light while offering a controlled climate. 

Privacy screens. A privacy screen can be built as part of a deck, or you can opt for moveable panels. Privacy screens offer just that — privacy — and can also block the wind. However, they do not have a roof and do not provide as much protection from rain and snow.
