Thread: A spa bath

I want to build an above ground spa in the garden.
Big enough for 4-6 people.

Anyone do such a thing?

Sort of like a half sunken swimming pool then?

Take them to a soapy

beerlaodrinker has a thread mate that may be of interest to you as he has added a poolside spa.

Nope, I want it all above ground so I can access the bits that break.
Possibly put a wooden wall round it.

I got mine in udon from global house, can't recall exactly what I paid for it , wasn't particularly cheap had it for years still going strong, but did have a problem with white ants in the frame once, have a look at my thread

Possibly put a wooden wall round it.

Meaning: a wooden platform type of border?

Yes, maybe. I think,

You're not doing concise very well here, CMN

So you want an outdoor bubble bath

You mean a fence ?

Why do you need to fit 6 people in there ?

This is Teakdoor, we need more info.....

Is it gonna be a regular occurrence?

Is it for swinging ?

Yes, you need to consider the water displacement when someone like Marmite plunges in.

Probably a co-project, I'm sure....

sounds to me you should lokk into using mai takiam or mai sak as material,
they are both hardwood and they are suitble for wet environment,
these two woods are used extensively in boats in LoS

mai sak=teak
mai takiam=haven't the fogiest idea

mai sak is more expensive and harder but in my mind also more difficult
to work with

mai takiam would be a good choice, I think
