Aluminium hot tub enclosure

An outdoor hot tub needs to be well covered to resist bad weather and last over time.

Protecting your hot tub is a significant investment that will extend its longevity and enable you to enjoy it year-round with total peace of mind.

Choosing an aluminium enclosure means opting for an efficient and durable solution: it will protect your jacuzzi from bad weather, reduce heat loss and enhance your comfort.

Protecting your outdoor enclosure is essential to ensure its longevity and enjoy its benefits year-round, regardless of the weather conditions. An aluminium enclosure is the ideal solution to preserve your jacuzzi from inclement weather, limit heat loss and improve your comfort. In addition to ensuring the safety of your installation, it enables you to create a true wellness area, protected from the wind, rain and debris.

Sommaire

Protect your installation against bad weather

Like for a swimming pool, a hot tub enclosure provides protection against rain, sun, dead leaves, dust, etc. These weather conditions and dirt can have serious consequences on the water quality of your hot tub. The installation of an enclosure will enable you to keep your water cleaner, longer, reduce maintenance and use fewer treatment products.

Enjoy your wellness area longer during the year

A covered jacuzzi can be used longer in the year, or even year-round depending on the region you live in. The enclosure walls enable you to create a comfortable bathing area sheltered from the wind and cold, and help to preserve the water temperature.

Extend the longevity of your jacuzzi

By protecting your hot tub from bad weather with an enclosure, you also extend its longevity. Indeed, wind can damage the structure, while UV-rays can deteriorate materials and the chlorine in the water. As for dirt, it risks damaging the pool equipment and heat loss will force the heating system to run longer.

Ensure the safety of bathers

An outdoor hot tub enclosure is equipped with a secure lock. This security system enables you to limit children's and pet's access to the hot tub to prevent accidents.

Create a true wellness area

Installing an enclosure around your hot tub is a way of creating a dedicated wellness area in your outdoor property. An enclosure that covers a larger surface area than your hot tub will enable you to spend relaxing moments before or after bathing and thus reap the full benefit of your investment.

The lean-to enclosure

With a lean-to enclosure, your hot tub area becomes an extension of your home. The enclosure is fixed to a wall, and an interior door can be added to facilitate access from your house.

The free-standing enclosure

A free-standing enclosure is entirely independent and can be installed in your garden to create an independent wellness area that is isolated from your house.

The pergola hot tub enclosure

Your hot tub enclosure can be open, like a pergola, to provide protection especially against the sun and rain, with the pleasure of being outdoors. It can also be entirely closed. Telescopic enclosures provide another solution to benefit from all its advantages: full protection and the possibility to open up the space to the exterior.

Hot tub enclosures can be built of various materials, including wood and PVC, but aluminium clearly offers the greatest advantages.

Durable and robust, it will protect your hot tub for many years. It will resist high winds and rain, while remaining easy to maintain.
Aluminium is also a very lightweight material, which makes it easy to handle and install.
It is customisable and comes in several colours, making it ideal to suit your environment and tastes.

The structure of this type of enclosure is made of aluminium with polycarbonate walls to offer a 360° view. Once again, this is a tough material, with the added benefit of a UV filter to ensure the optimum protection of your hot tub.

Low enclosures must therefore be open to enjoy the jacuzzi, whereas full-height enclosures create a closed space dedicated to relaxation, while offering the possibility of sliding walls.

This type of enclosure enables you to circulate around your hot tub, or to add other amenities, such as a terrace, sunbeds or cushions.

Make the right choice: which hot tub enclosure meets your needs?

Choosing the right hot tub enclosure begins with the choice of the location. Select a flat area of your property for stability and good footing. Make sure you have a sufficiently large surface area for both your hot tub and any outdoor amenities. It will often be necessary to pour a concrete slab for a more durable and resistant installation.
You will then have to decide on the size of the enclosure and the type of structure, whether high or low, depending on your intended use. These choices will depend not only on your wishes, but also on your budget.

Thus, a lean-to enclosure is often less expensive than a free-standing enclosure. A low enclosure may also be more economical than a full-height enclosure with sliding walls. Also take into account the weather conditions in the area you live in. Your hot tub enclosure and its anchor points must be particularly robust if frequently exposed to high winds.

You can customise the colour of the aluminium structure to enable it to blend in perfectly with your outdoor area and the design of your home.

It is possible to install a hot tub enclosure yourself. This task will be more or less difficult depending on the model of your enclosure and its features.

Prefer an enclosure kit and scrupulously respect the manufacturer's instructions. Also pay attention, before you start, that you have all the necessary tools and ask someone to help you, especially if you intend to assemble a full-height enclosure or a pergola.

Pay special attention to the anchor points, as they are essential to ensure that your aluminium enclosure resists high winds and storms.

For greater peace of mind, entrust the installation of your hot tub enclosure to a professional.

With their team, they will be able to advise you on the best model of enclosure for your needs and the ideal location for your project. They will then take charge of the entire installation, ensuring the respect of all safety standards. They will also enable you to benefit from your enclosure's warranty.
Working with a professional is especially important if you are not a seasoned do-it-yourselfer, if you are installing a complex enclosure, or if there are connections to install, such as electrical ducts through wall panels.

Good maintenance of your hot tub enclosure is essential to ensure its longevity and proper operation.

Fortunately, aluminium is an easy material to care for:

A soft cloth and water are all it takes to remove dust from the enclosure.

Fittings and rollers require a little more attention:

Inspect them regularly to ensure they are working properly, and remove dead leaves, moss or other debris that can damage the mechanisms.

Make sure you regularly clean the gutters of full-height enclosures to avoid the accumulation of debris.

You can install a variety of amenities to create a real cocoon under your enclosure:

Think about the lighting. Soft lighting, indirect LED lighting, etc. All these elements can transform the atmosphere under your enclosure or pergola, while enabling you to enjoy it in the evening.
Add comfortable furniture. Loungers, garden furniture, coffee tables, etc. This furniture will make the area more attractive and help you relax before and after bathing
Top off the installation with a few plants or decorations. This will bring a personal touch to your area.
Finally, don't forget storage space for your hot tub maintenance products, tarps or thermal cover.

Having your own home hot tub is a true pleasure. Installing an enclosure is not only a way of securing your equipment, but above all a means to create a dedicated area for maximum enjoyment.

Comment bien choisir son abri SPA ?: Avec un abri adossé, votre espace SPA s’intègre harmonieusement à votre maison. Fixé à une façade, il peut être équipé d’une porte intérieure pour un accès direct et pratique depuis votre logement.

À l’inverse, l’abri en îlot est totalement indépendant et s’installe librement dans votre jardin, créant ainsi un espace de bien-être isolé et intime.

Votre abri de spa peut être conçu en version ouverte, façon pergola, offrant une protection contre le soleil et la pluie tout en conservant le plaisir d’être à l’extérieur. Pour une protection optimale, il peut également être entièrement fermé. Les abris télescopiques, quant à eux, offrent une solution polyvalente : ils permettent de profiter d’un abri protecteur tout en offrant la possibilité d’ouvrir l’espace selon vos envies.
Puis-je installer mon abri moi-même ?: Installer un abri de SPA soi-même est tout à fait possible, mais la complexité de la tâche dépendra du modèle choisi et de ses caractéristiques. Pour une installation plus simple, optez pour un abri en kit et suivez scrupuleusement les instructions du fabricant. Avant de commencer, assurez-vous de disposer de tous les outils nécessaires et n’hésitez pas à solliciter de l’aide, surtout si vous installez un abri haut ou une pergola.

Les fixations jouent un rôle essentiel dans la stabilité et la résistance de votre abri. Une installation soignée garantira une protection efficace contre les vents forts et les intempéries, assurant ainsi la durabilité de votre structure.
Comment entretenir mon abri SPA ?: Un entretien régulier de votre abri de SPA est essentiel pour en assurer la durabilité et le bon fonctionnement. L’aluminium est un matériau facile à entretenir : un simple chiffon doux et de l’eau suffisent pour éliminer la poussière et garder votre abri propre.

Les fixations et les roulements nécessitent une attention particulière. Il est recommandé de les inspecter régulièrement afin de s’assurer de leur bon état et de retirer les feuilles mortes, la mousse ou toute autre saleté pouvant encrasser les mécanismes.

Si votre abri haut est équipé de gouttières, pensez également à les nettoyer fréquemment pour éviter l’accumulation de débris et garantir un écoulement optimal des eaux de pluie.
Est-il nécessaire d'obtenir un permis de construire ?: Si l’abri couvre plus de 20 m², un permis de construire est obligatoire.

En revanche, pour une surface inférieure, une simple déclaration préalable de travaux suffit.

Certaines zones peuvent également être soumises à des règles particulières concernant les matériaux utilisés ou la distance à respecter par rapport au voisinage. Il est donc essentiel de se renseigner auprès de votre mairie avant de débuter les travaux afin de garantir la conformité de votre installation.
Quels sont les avantages d'un abri SPA ?: Protéger votre SPA avec un abri vous permet de le préserver des intempéries, de limiter l’accumulation de saletés et de garder une eau plus propre plus longtemps, réduisant ainsi l’entretien et l’utilisation de produits. En plus d’offrir un espace abrité du vent et du froid, il prolonge la saison d’utilisation, voire permet de profiter du jacuzzi toute l’année. Un abri aide également à prolonger la durée de vie de votre SPA en le protégeant des UV, des débris et des variations de température qui sollicitent le système de chauffage. Il renforce aussi la sécurité en limitant l’accès aux enfants et aux animaux grâce à une fermeture sécurisée. Enfin, il transforme votre installation en un véritable espace bien-être, idéal pour la détente avant et après la baignade.
