Hot Tub under covered deck or not ??? (roof, pool, windows)

[kelly237]

We are dreaming about our future cabin and I am
not sure about putting the Hot tub under a covered
or uncovered deck.

I want to be able to use it if its raining but I LOVE
being able to see the sky/stars/moon when it isn't
raining...

We have a hottub now and I use it daily .....Sometimes I sit in it with a handheld
umbrella because it is amazing to just listen to the rain ....

The only solution to achieve both that I can think of
is to have it on an open deck with
an large stand umbrella beside it that can be used if it is raining...

Any other ideas???????

Retractable awning?

I presonally would never racommend sitting in a hot tub or pool when its raining because of the much great risk form lightening. But of course a deck with lightening rod systen would help there.Its even greater ihn a more rual setting.

At my FIL's old house, he had built an enclosed deck with skylights on the roof for his hot tub.

Put the hot-tub in a solarium or conservatory type enclosure?
Glass House - Orangerie - Glass Sun Rooms - Town & Country

House Garden - Garden Room and Conservatories

I don't think this more natural look would be out of place for a "cabin" : Atrium Windows - Sun Room Window

or a skylight "alternative" Skylights - Roof Skylight

I mean, as long as you are going to dream, you may as well be able to see the stars from your hot-tub!
