Ok, you’ve bought a hot tub (or you’re in the process of buying one), but maybe you didn’t think about an enclosure for it at the time. If you want to use your hot tub year around (and you will… trust me, I’ve been a spa owner for years, and I’m out there soothing my aching muscles almost every day!), an enclosure can really help. You may be thinking you can rough it (hot tub enclosures? We don’t need no stinking hot tub enclosures…), but it’s not very fun sitting out there in the rain.

As a consumer, you need to look at the R-value of the cover. The R-value refers to a material’s ability to resist the flow of heat and is based on thickness. It can get pretty complicated, but basically you just need to know that the higher the R-value the better. Read more »
