14 Hot Tub Gazebos & Sauna Shelters For Your Backyard

If you own a hot tub, you know how much a shelter such as a hot tub gazebo can enhance the experience and maybe you are searching for hot tub gazebo ideas.

From reception centers, outdoor churches, hospital resting places, outdoor dining areas, sunrooms, pool covers, pool houses, carports, and Porte-cochères — Western Timber Frame™ has built old-world shelters for so many purposes including intimate hot tub shelters.

By the very nature of its use —one of the most intimate of shelter settings is timber hot tub coverings and privacy screens. The hot tub gazebo is a timeless outdoor structure made for privacy and creates a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy.

A timber cover will dramatically change the look with a stunning beauty that turns an area of ground into a showpiece. The showpiece in this gazebo hot tub kit is of course the spa, with the outdoor structure creating an intimate escape for outdoor use and enjoyment.

The design still allows for creating an open hot tub exposure which the homeowners desired while keeping off the hottest time of the day for sunshine making it more enjoyable all year round.

Unearthed centuries-old aqueducts and calderas used for mineral and thermal baths show that hydrotherapy has long been a restorative and pleasurable way to unwind. Today, hot tubs, saunas, spas, sweat baths, Jacuzzi stars, plunge baths, or a luxurious hot bath can give you the essence of a hot spring bath in your own backyard. With controlled pulsating water jets, the pulsating heated water improves blood circulation while soothing sore muscles. A hot tub gazebo is the perfect companion when it comes to soaking outdoors.

While admiring the beauty of her pet parrot — my neighbor once told me, “Everyone needs time to unfurl their wings and preen their feathers to keep in our best of condition.”

That visual of a bird taking time out to re-oil its feathers stuck with me — “preening my feathers” wasn’t a matter of vanity or selfishness, we each have a genuine need to loosen the bow to preserve its spring.

Having the perfect place to escape to, relax, and unwind is what Western Timber Frame™ specializes in. A timber ShadeScape® shelter provides year-round protection from wind and shade.

Installing a Timber Frame Arbor, Pergola, Pavilion, or Gazebo Hot Tub

You don’t have to know how to build your own gazebo, pergola, or covered pavilion. If you have experience in home improvement projects and have the time to do the job, you can install your own ShadeScape® kit.

These kits are massive in size. Though they are heavy-duty gazebos, pavilions, and pergolas – because of the engineered design – they can easily be set in place with the help of a friend or two.

Not everyone wants to install their own ShadeScape® pergola kit,

but for those who do:

they find it a fun project to do!

“It looks awesome!! Only took about 3 1/2 hrs. My brother said this is a GREAT kit!!! Said if you ever needed anyone to install in our area that he’d be more than happy to do it. Just wanted to let you know how excited we are! – Karen Reynolds – Enterprise, AL

Every ShadeScape® pergola, pavilion, and gazebo kit is designed to be fun, fast, and simple to install.

All our ShadeScape® pergola kit parts are pre-cut, pre-drilled, pre-notched, and numbered with easy interlocking corners and drop-in rafter layouts. Our unique corner system allows for a quick, snap-together beam-to-post application. The result is a timber pergola kit with quality and durability that is quick to assemble. We provide instructions in our installation manual as well as technical support from one of our installers at your request.

However, if you are feeling intimidated by the massive size of these timber frame pergola kits, know that we are here to ensure your installation is successful. Just give us a call at 801-331-6690 and we’d be happy to help you with your project.

Western Timber Frame’s core purpose is to empower every ShadeScape® owner.

If you decide to install your kit yourself, we’re happy to help you as MUCH as you like – or as little as you prefer.

“The instructions that come with it are very self-explanatory. I had a minor problem getting the measurements right. After a quick phone call, I got it straightened out. It was a pleasure working with Western Timber Frame™. – Dewey Farmer – AZ

How Long Does it Take to Install?

Based upon many variables, such as size, complexity, the weather and site conditions, the average ShadeScape® structure can typically be installed in ONE AFTERNOON!

As with this family, you may prefer a ShadeScape® shelter to create the ultimate in outdoor living alongside your hot tub but not necessarily covering it. Each homeowner has their individual dream of how they like it. The beauty of a ShadeScape® arbor, pavilion, pergola, or gazebo kit is that is to the specs of each landscape and homeowner’s vision. We don’t fit people with a kit but the kit is designed the way they want to use their outdoor living area.
