This is a hot tub enclosure I made from Cedar for some family friends. It was a used hot tub and what was left of the wood frame was thin and rotted and totally unusable so I started with a whole new frame but there was so little room outside the unit that I had to add the flange all the way around the top so I could make the corners properly to look good. The whole thing is screwed together and it comes apart in sections for serviceability.
Soon after I completed it, the tub sprung a leak in the piping and they had to take out a corner and a side to repair it. These pictures were taken after they took it apart and reassembled it.

Great job. I have been thinking about dumping my old hot tub but now I might have to reconsider. How difficult was this?

Wow!
Just another one of those project that would never have occurred to me.
The creativity and resourcefulness … of … so many of you … just amazes me.
But I’m getting a little bit of “that eye.” I’m starting to really notice lots of little things that are made of wood, and thinking …. “Hey….!”
Like … when my sister and law stood straight up on the wrong part (cross-bar/foot rest) of our tall dining room chair, at Thanksgiving dinner and it snapped.
She was saddened. I was excited! I got to make a new one out of African Mahogany!!
Nicely done, Jim! Go make some bubbles!!

Looks great to me. Smart thinking to be able to take it apart in sections.
