If you’ve invested in a hot tub, you probably want to make the most of it - no matter the weather. Adding an outdoor building or cover over your hot tub can take your soaking experience to a whole new level. It’s not just about protection from the elements; it’s about creating a cosy, private space that feels like a true retreat in your own garden.
Here are five popular ideas to get you started:
1. Pergola
A pergola is a classic choice that brings structure and style to your hot tub area. It’s perfect if you want a bit of shelter without completely closing off the space. Pergolas can be dressed up with climbing plants, outdoor curtains, or even fairy lights to make your hot tub area feel special and welcoming.
2. Gazebo
If you’re looking for something with a bit more coverage, a gazebo could be the answer. With a solid roof and open sides, gazebos offer great protection from rain or harsh sun while still keeping that airy, outdoor feel. They come in a range of styles - from rustic timber to modern metal - so it’s easy to find one that matches your garden.
3. Covana Automatic Cover
For the ultimate in convenience and luxury, the Covana automatic cover system is hard to beat. Covana covers combine the practicality of a solid, weatherproof shelter with the convenience of push-button operation. When closed, it acts as a secure cover for your hot tub, protecting it from the elements and keeping it safe. When you’re ready to soak, it effortlessly lifts up to become a sleek, modern roof that transforms your hot tub area into a private spa. It’s the perfect choice if you want year-round use and love the idea of an all-in-one cover and shelter.
4. Garden Room
For year-round hot tub enjoyment, an enclosed garden room is a brilliant option. It’s essentially like an outdoor room—a structure with walls and a roof that can protect you from wind, rain, and even snow. You can add windows, lighting, and even heating to create a real spa-like sanctuary that’s perfect for relaxing in any season.
5. Shade Sail or Canopy
For a more casual, budget-friendly option, a shade sail or canopy can work wonders. These simple structures create a bit of shelter and define your hot tub area, while still keeping that open-air feeling. They’re easy to install and come in a range of colours and shapes, so you can create a look that feels fresh and fun.
Why It’s Worth It
Adding a shelter or building over your hot tub isn’t just about practicality - it’s about creating a space where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine. Plus, it can make your garden feel like a true extension of your home.
