We Put a Louvered Pergola Over Our Hot Tub… Was It Worth It? - Video

Is a louvered pergola worth it over a hot tub?

We wanted the best of both worlds: an open-air hot tub when the weather is nice, but the ability to close the roof when it rains or snows.

In this video I show our louvered pergola setup, how the roof opens and closes, and a few things I learned after installing it that I didn't really think about beforehand.

One BIG thing to consider if you're putting one over a hot tub: HEIGHT. Make sure you have enough clearance for your hot tub cover and cover lifter, and enough headroom when getting in and out.

I also like the aluminum construction because there's no staining, painting, or wood maintenance to deal with.

If you're considering a louvered pergola for a hot tub, patio, or backyard, hopefully our setup gives you a few ideas.
