If you have the money to purchase a wooden hot tub, go get one. Wooden hot tubs give homeowners a great way to relax in the comfort of their own homes. But before you do head to the nearest home depot store and get one, a little history on hot tubs may do you a lot good. Read on.

Back in the 1970s, round wood hot tubs really peaked in terms of popularity . But by the late eighties, the use of wood hot tubs declined gradually. While there are still a number manufacturers producing wooden hot tubs up to this day, most homeowners now go for self-contained portable spas, which seem the wooden hot tub’s replacement in the evolution of hot water bathing.

A number of people do not really know the difference between a hot tub and a spa. Spas are larger and made of acrylic or a similar durable, lower maintenance material and typically rectangular in shape. Spas are also equipped with advanced water functions, including water jetting, and purification systems. Simply put, spas are hot tubs with added modern features.

Wooden hot tubs are made of wood, obviously. Most lumber used in their production are redwood or cedar. Assembled from many vertical boards called staves, wooden hot tubs resemble the shape of wooden buckets. What gives the hot tubs its round shape is that these staves are bolted and binded together in a certain angle.

As for the flooring, it is main made up of wooden horizontal planks. Master carpentry skills are quite a must for this part, since it is hard to really join the floorboards and the body of the tub. On the end of each floor board is a corresponding peg that matches a specific hole.The pegs keeps the boards properly aligned while assembling the tub. The end result is a round, flat floor surface.

The binding mechanism of the whole structure is similar to that of round wooden barrels. The staves are banded in place by a number of round metal bands, tightened with nuts. Basically, the wooden hot tub is like a barrel with an open top.

The declining use of wooden tubs is largely due to the dwindling lumber resources. As you know, wooden tubs use a lot of lumber for its manufacturing process. With the quality of lumber dwindling down, wooden tubs are becoming less and less in terms of number.

On Thursday I am going to have a film on UTube explaining how to setup your Spa2Go.  The film will show you from start to finish the steps needed to enjoy your hot tub.  I am going to fill it and show how everything works.  Hope you can join me.  It will be done 4-4-08.  Weather permitting.

I could say that Spa2Go and Spa-N-A-Box was great for people with arthritis.  It would be wrong for me to say that.  Many people with arthritic conditions can be helped by hydrotherapy.  However saying that all people with this affliction can be get relief by sitting in a hot tub.  This would be wrong to say.  Before you buy a hot tub ask your Doctor if it  is a good fit.  Some people can not take the circulation from the jets in the portable spa.  The water movement maybe to hard on you and cause more pain.  So although I would like to see you purchase a Spa2Go or a Spa-N-A-Box don’t do it unless your find out you should.

Spa-N-A-Box can be used for a halloween pirate themed party.  The simulated red wood sides of the Spa-N-A-Box are ready made for creating a crows nest or a rum barrel.  To make it look like a crows nest from a pirate ship just attach a pole with the jolly rodger flag.  To create the look of a rum barrel simply tie a rope around your Spa-N-A-Box.  Add a chest and put junk jewelry inside to help with pirate theme.  You can also use chocolate coins on the food table for more decoration.  Having a coconut carved with a face can be a great addition to your decorations.

Ham with a pineapple glaze would keep in the theme.  A Hawaiian meal may include kabobs.  They can be cooked on an open grill.  Pork with fresh vegetables cut into bite size pieces is easy to make.  Fish is also something you could do.  It can get expensive.  Hope these meal ideas help from Portablehottubsnow.com

    First I want to say hello to everyone.  Let the fun begin! 

    My first idea for a great theme party is Hawaiian luau.  The inflatable palm trees makes any backyard look like you’re on the beach they  can be set around the portable hot tub.  If you don’t want to spend the money for that, you can use pictures of palm trees from magazines with the same result.  If you have them enlarged you can hang on a clothes line.  Costumes can  also help set the mood.  One quick and easy costume is a Lei and a flowered or colorful shirt. 

      Tiki torches can provide mood lighting.  Be careful on placement of tiki torches.  They are an open flame.  Be sure that the torches are far enough away from the path so people can easily and safely travel to the portable hot tub in your miniature Hawaii.
