There are many ways to build a gazebo for your hot tub, and a hot tub gazebo kit is probably one of the easiest ways to build one. The advantages to purchasing a kit is that it provides you with the design plans and suggested materials to build the gazebo with. Other options are to design and build the covering your self, without any carpentry background, this can prove to be disastrous, structurally, and cost wise. You can also or a prefabricated kit that either you can assemble or have a contractor put together for you. Another option is to have a carpenter or contractor custom design and make for you.
The hot tub design kits available are the most cost effective. It gives you the ability to choose the materials that you want to build your gazebo out of. You can match your deck with red wood, cedar, or vinyl deck/building materials. Many hot tubs have standard sizing that makes purchasing a kit rather than a custom prefab kit available for the size you need.
If your hot tub is on your deck with ample space around it, you can purchase a gazebo kit with all the wood and hardware included. These can come in square, round or octagon shapes and fit nicely on your deck as a covering over the tub. All the wood including the roof is precut for easy assembly. You can also order benches to go inside the gazebo and get matching cushions for your other outdoor furniture.
Some other choices are using a temporarily gazebo kit. The variety of these gazebos that are set up in the department stores, home improvement centers and wholesale stores make them a very attractive purchase. These are usually made out of wrought iron and have decorative awing, swag and covering with some type of screen netting to keep insects at a minimum. The decorative iron can be anchored to your deck for more stability. The only draw back to this type of covering is that is can be compromised in a heavy wind or rain storm so make sure you are able to remove the tarp, or canvas covering easily if you need to.
To make your choice you may first want to decide how much you want to spend on your gazebo. A custom build may run you anywhere from $5,000 to 15,000 depending on the size and materials you might choose. The design kits can run from $4-8,000 depending on the size and materials used. The temporary gazebo can start at $250 to over $1000 depending on how big and intricate the design features are. The earlier you buy in the season the better off you will be. Purchase with plenty of time to enjoy your hot tub gazebo all summer long.
