IL Parrothead Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 You definitely would want to allow the moisture out. Open the windows or a good exhaust fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilinBare Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 IMHO, you ought to put it outdoors. If it's an indoor spa you want, join the local health club and use the indoor tub they've got. Ever wonder why there's no one in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackVa1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 We are planning ours on an outdoor patio with a roof on it because it will be near a door. We will have a beautiful view of the lake that is maye 100 feet from our patio. Recently we have been discussing just enclosing the patio and having a glass (many sliding doors as the enclosure) view of the lake. It would become an indoor spa at this point. Sounds like some don't think this is a good idea. Our enclosed area would end up being 18 x 14 and we could add a bar area and some music. I would have screens for the glass sliding doors for 9 months of the year and just really close the door in the winter. Bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdegree Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just some thoughts regarding indoor placement...which many of you may have already thought about. 1. Controling temperature of the space, particularly if it is within your living space...do you have adequate heating and AC for this added load? 2. Humidity control of the space, again, particularly if it is within your living space...do you have adequate heating, AC and humidy control for this added load? 3. Ventilating chemical fumes/odors...do you have adequate ventilation for this? 4. Potential for water damage...how can you handle leaks and/or condensation dripping on the floor within the structure? Just some things to think about. There are solutions for each of these issues. Humidity and water can reak havoc on many types of building materials, if there is prolonged exposure. Planning ahead will make your long term soaking more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Many thanks for the advice infact I did own a cheap hot tub once and put it in a shed it was problems all the way it seems most would go with the outside option which is what I shall do However I do like the sound of the sliding doors with the roof 18x 14 with a BAR One question if the Hot tub is outside due in winter if its not being used will this affect the electronics of the tub or is there any other call for concern Thanks Again for your helpfull Tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack there are a few manufactures that has some very nice enclosure kits. Here is a link to one of them. calspas.com/gazebos/detail~a~27~b~2006.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
