Congratulations! You have built your own outdoor hot tub.
TIP: Build a footbath, using the same
method as for the hot tub, so that you
can wash off grass and dirt from your
feet before plunging into the bath.
TIP: Cresset holders beside the hot
tub increase the cosiness factor. You
should, however, not place them too
close. The candle grease can ’explode’
if water gets into the cresset.
TIP: A floating table, for instance
a remodelled lifebuoy, gives you
somewhere to place juice glasses
and snacks that are easily reached by
everyone in the hot tub.
TIP: As a help to climb into the hot
tub, you can have a decking floor at
a convenient height around the hot
tub, or small steps on the inside and
outside of the side boards.
TIP: Fit a beautifully carved pole to the
outside of the hot tub, which can serve
as a handgrip when you are climbing
into or out of the hot tub.
TIP: Nail two boards (0.5 m and 1.5 m)
together, so that they form a big T. This
is the perfect tool to stir in the hot tub
in order to get an even temperature.

Tips on purification accessories:
Water purification system with pump
and sand filter: from about £300.
A large, powerful aquarium filter
costs about £150. Chlorine tablets
1 kg, £7-10. Chlorine meter, £7-10.
(For 2000 litres of water a couple of
teaspoons of chlorine is needed.)
Talk to a retailer of swimming pool
accessories.
TIP: If you use chlorine tablets, place
them in a plastic jar with holes in it.
The tablets can leave burn marks if
they are in direct contact with wood.
