5 reasons a wooden hot tub beats a plastic spa

A plastic spa is a big box of moulded acrylic. A wooden hot tub is a piece of furniture for your backyard. Here are five reasons buyers keep choosing timber.

1. It holds heat. Nordic spruce is a natural insulator, so your tub reaches temperature faster and holds it longer. 2. It ages beautifully. Where plastic yellows and cracks, timber weathers to a soft silver-grey. 3. It ships flat. Factory-direct, ready to assemble in a weekend. 4. It runs year-round. Pair it with an internal or external heater and soak through winter. 5. It looks the part. A wooden tub belongs in a garden in a way a plastic shell never will.
