diy hot tub enclosure

[tphill24]

My husband and I just ordered a Jacuzzi J-480. Because we live in rural upstate NY, we are planning on building an enclosure to help with efficiency and for comfort. We easily get 300+ inches of snow a year! It is going to be 18x18 so we have room for repairs should we need to access the side panels. We are currently debating the number of windows needed and how to ventilate. I don't want it to be too hot to use in the summer! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are going to build an enclosure 20x10 for ours, we have opted for 6 opening windows and 2 sets of double doors so that we have plenty of ventilation. Also my Son who is an electrician is going to set up a humidity switched extractor fan, so that when the humidity reaches a certain point the extractor will cut in.

.......but we do not get anything like 300 inches of snow here in the UK

I'd engage an HVAC engineering company to run the calculations on what you'll need to ventilate that space.

I have plenty of air flow, just not hot. New heater core and blazer motor upgrade.
