Wooden hot tub: rules for outdoor installation

Anyone who plans to install a street wooden hot tub on their site should remember the main thing – wood is a living material. Therefore, it adapts to the surrounding conditions, especially to the current humidity parameter. Wood, depending on the processing method, absorbs or evaporates moisture to either, because of which the wooden hot tub can swell and shrink. However, you should not be afraid of these natural processes. How and where to install a heated wooden hot tub on the street? Before installation, it is recommended to prepare an absolutely flat base that can withstand a load of up to 700-800 kg. If possible, you can pour a concrete foundation that easily copes with the large weight of the filled font. If this is not possible, then the selected site must be leveled (you can fill it with crushed stone or gravel) and assemble a base on it, the material for which will be a board made of larch or other solid wood. There should be no vegetation around the wooden hot tub installation site, as it prevents free ventilation. Air should always flow freely under the lower part of the wooden hot tub to promote rapid drying and prevent rotting. It is better to buy a street wooden hot tub from the manufacturer, who originally included special ventilation holes at the base in the wooden structure. When there are none, use additional boards to lift the bottom of the wooden hot tub from the foundation. It is necessary to mount the wooden hot tub, keeping in mind the rules of fire safety. Its configuration includes a stove with a chimney, which must be removed from the buildings by at least five meters. An important factor in choosing the place of installation of the wooden hot tub will be the selected water drainage system. Of course, it would be more practical to connect the drain to the home sewer, which will prevent the formation of excessive moisture in the soil. However, the configuration can be any and under it you will need to use certain plumbing, which is purchased separately. Many customers are interested in whether it will be possible to assemble a street wooden hot tub made by us yourself. If you have the skill and experience, then you can do it without professional help. However, if you have not worked with fonts before, there is a high risk of making a mistake and spoiling the whole impression of the wooden product.
