Hot Tub Gazebo Ideas: Stylish Structures For Your Outdoor Spa
Considering hot tub gazebo ideas for your outdoor spa is well worth doing if you want to elevate the space. These shelters are super practical for keeping off rain or searing sunshine, allowing you to enjoy the ultimate relaxation session whatever the weather (or, with permanent structures, whatever the time of year). Gazebos can also enhance the overall look of your hot tub ideas. There are plenty of stylish designs that make striking features for a patio or deck. Plus, even the more simple models can be pepped up with the addition of climbing plants, twinkling lights, or a lick of exterior wood paint. ‘A purpose-built gazebo helps integrate a hot tub into the garden,’ says a spokesperson for Lay-Z-Spa. ‘With the ability to grow plants on it or match the gazebo structure to nearby fence paneling or color schemes, it helps allow the hot tub to blend into the surroundings.’ And, there are temporary designs too, which are perfect if you’re looking for a quick and budget-friendly shelter solution. From traditional timber gazebos and hot tub pergola ideas to pop-up designs, here are some of the most loved looks for outdoor spas.
ADD PLENTY OF GREENERY TO YOUR OVERHEAD STRUCTURE
When it comes to hot tub shelters, the team at Hydrolife says that there tends to be two main types that people choose from: the traditional wooden cedar look and the more modern aluminum veranda. ‘The traditional wooden look seems to be most popular,’ they explain, ‘with either a fully-enclosed roof or a pergola style which normally has climbing plants encouraged to grow up and over.’ We’re not surprised that it’s a well-loved approach – timber structures effortlessly complement natural surroundings and who doesn’t love a good climber or two for creating a beautiful, botanical backdrop? And along with the best climbing plants, you can also freshen up a hot tub gazebo with some pretty container gardening ideas nearby. Opting for architectural foliage will offer a jungle-like vibe, or try planting ornamental grasses for a natural screen.
OPT FOR A STYLISH, CANVAS GAZEBO
Alternative and often cheaper options than timber hot tub gazebo ideas are metal and heavy-duty canvas combos. They can look just as elegant, and you can remove the canvas for winter storage if you wish, to keep it in tip-top condition. These structures are generally made with sturdy, steel frames, and there are all kinds of shapes and sizes available, so you can find one that suits your hot tub perfectly. Some are more ornate than others, too, upping the element of style to your space as well as practicality. What’s more, lots of designs have tie-backs, meaning you can adjust the level of hot tub privacy easily.
KEEP COVERED WHILE ADMIRING THE VIEW
Opting for large patio cover ideas, whether that’s supersized gazebos or pergolas, is a great way to define an entertaining space for easy indoor-outdoor living come rain or shine. But, to keep the zone light and airy yet still protected from the elements, consider integrating a transparent cover into your overhead framework. That way, you can lie back and admire the view of the starry night’s sky, fluffy clouds, or pattering raindrops as you enjoy your spa’s bubbles. Polycarbonate panels are an affordable, durable option that is quick to install. They’ll help keep out fallen leaves and other debris, too, making hot tub maintenance easier. We also like the surrounding railings in this space. They offer smart yet subtle definition for the zone, and complement the decking and rest of the timber structure beautifully.
USE A DUO OF HUES FOR YOUR SHELTER
One of the best things about timber gazebo and pergola ideas is that you can give them a gorgeous new look to tie into your garden theme easily, with the help of some exterior wood paint. Go for a bold block color – perhaps in an on-trend gray, moody black, or sage green. Or, for something a little more creative, consider a duo of complementary tones that ties in with your existing garden color scheme. Or, how about creating an eye-catching contrast by leaving the columns in their natural shade, and only painting the overhead beams?
DEFINE YOUR SPA FROM YOUR POOL
Hot tubs are a lovely accompaniment to pool ideas. Integrated designs are popular, with ‘spillover’ features bringing a sensory sound to the setup. However, if yours is separated from your pool, a gazebo can be a great way to define your tub into its own distinguished chill-out zone. This pretty design slots into its surroundings well, and we particularly like the ornate details just below the roof for that extra dose of style.
