How Do You Build A Wooden Hot Tub?
Hot tubs are a wonderful luxury to have in your home and wooden hot tubs provide genuine aesthetic value in the right setting. They are very expensive to construct, however, which may be enough to give some enthusiasts pause. Serious carpenters and those with a good knowledge of water systems can build their own wooden hot tubs over the course of a few days. The project requires wood of the proper type (cedar or teak is best) as well as hot tub supplies found at any pool store or do-it-yourself hardware store. Select a location for your hot tub. It needs to be somewhere sheltered from the wind and able to support the weight of both the tub and anyone in it. Look for a porch or a concrete landing at least 3 1/2 inches thick to place it on, or else it may sink. In addition, the surrounding ground needs to be as level as possible for the hot tub to work as it should. Lay down a trio of chine joists evenly on the measured location for your hot tub. Two of the joists should be on either end
