Wooden Hot Tubs

[Amy D]

I'd love comments on wooden spas and how they hold up, etc. in a winter climate. Thanks!

Is wood outdoors durable?

My cedar fence is 20 years old and looks pretty good.

I have serviced, removed and replaced wooden hot tubs. I have seen them for years. Usually if there is a problem it comes when someone has emptied it and allowed it to dry. The wood will gap until it swells again.

The highest quality units should give you years of service.

You will need gas or propane heat.

If you are in a snowy area I'd get a wood slat cover.

Wood tubs last an average of 15 years or more. I have seen plenty that are nearly 20 before they needed to be replaced.

Not only that they are more the tradition an they look real cool. They can also be heated with wood.

High quality, vertical grain, tight cedar or redwood should last more like 20 years. Teak typically goes 25 to 30 years.
