It may look daunting at first but with a little know how on carpentry there is no way you cannot do this.

I have listed below step by step instruction on how to build your own hot tub spa enclosure and I hope you will find this very useful.

• Clear the work area
Before starting any work, make sure that the area is cleared against weeds; lose rocks or any unnecessary clutter as you would need a bigger space if you are doing a huge project such as hot tubs enclosure. Your movement should never be restricted by space as you would need to go around multiple times around the hot tub spa as you work.
• Measurement
Correct measurement is vital as wrong measurement can ruin all the parts that need to be screwed together so be very careful when doing this. Carefully measure the height, length and width of the hot tub spa before cutting any materials to avoid any unnecessary cuttings. Write all the measurement information in a piece of paper and please do right legibly and clearly.

• Ground preparation
While it does not really have to be leveled, a level ground makes it easier for you to measure and set up the hot tub spa that needs to be installed.

• Protecting the control panel
Build a simple enclosure around hot tubs control to protect it against the elements.

• Building the foundation
In building the base foundation, place and fit the biggest building stones collectively as this would be the base of all other stones. This is vital as the rest of the building stones rest on how solid and sturdy your hot tub spa foundation.

• Cement mortar
Spread a coating of mortar on the top and the side of the stone and place another on top of each stone and repeat these process until it reached the desired height of your hot tub spa. By stacking the stones with cement mortar beneath each stone, this process makes your tower of stones sturdier making it stronger against falling over.

• Fill the gaps
After you finished building the wall of the hot tubs enclosure, fill the gap right away with cement mortar using a stick that fits exactly in the stone gaps

• Control panel
After you have finished building the wall of your enclosure, cover the spot where your control panel is located with a piece of plywood you prepared in step no. 4.

Now that you have done the final step in making the enclosure of your hot tub spa, you can either use acrylic emulsion paint to protect the rocks against the elements assuring you the natural color of the stone you use in your hot tubs enclosure never fade even for years.
