Advantages of a cedar hot tub vs plastic spa

• Beauty; the geometric shape and the rich colours and grains in the wood are visually stunning and will look great in your back yard. Natural cedar wood is definitely preferable to artificial, fabricated acrylic spa pools
• Durability; cedar wood is very durable and rot resistant. Will last 20+ years
• Nicer bathing experience; Wooden hot tubs have vertical walls, giving them a greater depth than acrylic spas. The bench seating provides additional leg room in the tub, which means a smaller wooden hot tub can accommodate the same number of people as a larger acrylic model
• Cheaper to run; because of the narrower but deep shape of the tubs, there is less water surface area which results in less heat loss. Also, cedar has millions of tiny air cells through the wood so is naturally a good insulator, therefore cheaper running costs
