Hot tub pergola

We love our hot tub. One of the really nice things about having your own hot tub is you can go au natural if you'd like. It's OK, you can admit it. Of course, with a 1/4 acre lot, privacy can be difficult to come by. So, we built this pergola to screen the hot tub from the neighbors. It really was a pretty quick project - just a couple of evenings during one week.


Some people have asked for some more detail on how I built the privacy frames. There wasn't really much magic to it - I just routed a channel in the cedar 2x4s to seat the lattice in - the picture below shows this pretty well.

Now the only "full moon" the neighbors see is the celestial body in the sky.
