The Hot Tub Cabinet

The hot tub cabinet is significant because it is the another very visible part of your hot tub. If the cabinet deteriorates or otherwise decays in some manner, your hot tub will become an eyesore and may even fail structurally

For numerous years, spa cabinetry was made of wood, most commonly redwood or cedar, and this is still a popular choice nowadays. The quality of wood has a direct effect on the color and entire look of the cabinet and on its longevity. Wood cabinets need regular maintenance, though, especially in climates where they are exposed to wind, rain, snow, or the drying effects of hot sunlight. Typical upkeep includes staining the wood annually, plus taking precautions to keep water from pooling and standing on the wood, which can cause it to rot.

Synthetic materials are becoming very popular because they require little or no maintenance to keep their handsome looks. Early versions of synthetics looked very plastic and cheap, but modern synthetics maintain a rich, tasteful look that spa owners really adore. Paired with their easy care and long life, synthetics are thought by many to be the wave of the future in spa cabinetry.

Whatever material you choose for your spa cabinet, it is imperative to choose a cabinet design that allows easy access to interior components such as pumps and heaters. A fully removable door is best, but a standard access door is acceptable in many cases. The easier it is to access internal parts, the less you will pay in labor charges for any repairs that may come along.
