Building a hot tub?

[JP_]

I wanted to get an inflatable hot tub this summer, but everywhere sold out. Can pre-order for end of August, if shipment arrives, but that's a bit late.

So, how feasible would it be to actually build a hot tub / plunge pool?
i.e. dig round hole, line with insulation and some sort of bricks, some waterproof, fill, and heater?

Probably will cost too much. Wouldn't DIY it all myself, so I guess somebody would essentially want to charge cost of small swimming pool.

But, if I did this, how would it best be done?

Probably going to pre order a hot tub anyway, or I'll get into trouble with the boss, so don't worry about going into too many details!

That looks bloody long, hard and expensive to do.

I trust your experience over mine! Blowing up a hot tub does seem easier ...

I bought a hot tub after having one on holiday. It great, if I ever get sick of it I could sell it or if I move I could take it with me.

Before that we had an £80 massive paddling pool which was also great but very cold.
