Hi Richard,
These were very interesting. My dream has been to have a greenhouse with a hot tub in it, but I live in Southern Utah where it routinely hits 120 F in the summers. I am worried that a simple aluminum cloth cover won’t keep enough heat out and my tub will be damaged. Have you seen such a setup?
Thanks!
How to remove hot tub from inside deck once it stops Woking is going to be an ordeal! We have that issue! Thinking we.should backfill it with soil and plant a mini tree in it or just a Tom tomato garden! The deck catches a lot of sun!
