Another popular use of the deck gazebo is to house the hot tub. When you build the gazebo into the deck, it creates the perfect spot for enjoying your hot tub year round. Number one because it’s close to the house and number two because you often can’t even tell that there’s a hot tub inside it until you walk into it. The San Cristobal provides a great enclosed gazebo for this purpose as it can be outfitted with insulation and thermal doors and windows to help keep things comfy even on cold winter days.
