So, I was talking to the missus about how great and flat the garden will be soon. And she mentioned getting a hot tub. I looked into them, saw the price and came up with this question...
How can I make a hot tub?
General discussion at this point, but I was thinking an octagonal timber frame (designing around tensile strength to hold back the water pressure). Maybe 1m deep, and 1m length on each side.
Use a small wood fire to provide heating and a second hand central heating pump to provide flow.
To waterproof, line the wooden frame with 22mm exterior grade ply, then fiberglass and add a few layers of swimming pool paint.
No thoughts toward bubbles, but an old vacuum cleaner could be used I imagine.
So yea, anyone else ever attempted this, any thoughts of ideas?
Cheers chaps.
Sam.
