Replacement Cabinet

[caveman-travel]

Hello,

I am replacing the redwood skirt and the underlying framework on my 15 year old spa. The redwood held up well with average care, but has gone past looking "acceptible".

I am pretty handy carpentry wise, so the frame work is no big challenge. I am planning to convert from the original redwood to synthetic skirting. I do not seem to be able to find a source for this material.

Can anyone help?

Thank you, Tim

I was just talking to my dealer who was telling me that the Canadian company that makes the spa siding for Hot Spring and Sundance has entered into a distribution deal with Home Depot so that homeowners can buy matching siding for decking and such. You may want to check with Home Depot about this.

We sell it. It's not cheap, small spas around $800. to $1,200 for large ones. We've seen some use regular house-type vinyl siding. A bit tacky though, but maintenance free.

I would imagine that maintenance free (synthetic) decking would work pretty well. I think they even make tongue and groove synthetic decking. The only downside is coming up with something for the corners.
