Best hot tub gazebo for soaking under cover

This mini marquee will offer you a decent level of protection from the elements while allowing you a view of your surroundings, thanks to the two side panel windows. The pop-up frame is made of high-quality steel and is powder-coated for rust resistance. The detachable sides and roof are made of a durable polyester. This comes with four sandbags, the pegs and ropes you need, and a carry bag. This measures in at three by three metres.

Customer review: "Super easy to put up, still up and in place, sand bags are a bonus and it's super durable. Working well for daily garden use as well as parties, and standing up to the elements so far."

This is basically a smaller and more affordable version of our overall best pick, ideal for more compact hot tubs in limited outdoor spaces. It measures in at two by two metres but will feel more spacious thanks to the two window panels to let in light. The side panels and doors are attached by Velcro for quick and easy set-up and removal. Great for all weathers, the water-resistant cover will shield you from both rain and sun.

Customer review: "Overall it is a great quality gazebo for the price giving a great space for you and the family to enjoy the outdoors. It should give years of use. This was a reasonable priced one for the size."

If you're fortunate enough not to require 360-degree privacy around your hot tub, this SunTime option is a sophisticated choice for elegant gardens. The alloy steel frame is covered with a cream-coloured roof and you get a set of four attractive nets. These nets work well decoratively, but can also be used for midge and mozzie protection. This gazebo measures in at 2.5 metres by 2.5 metres, so should suit most average tubs.

Customer review: "This gazebo was super easy to put up, it is sturdy with a very neat fitting waterproof cover and insect mesh in top vent. The insect netting sides zip together to provide very good midge protection. It has been perfect for lock-down, socially distanced outside meetings, and BBQs.
We love it and are very impressed with the build quality for the price. Highly recommended!"

If you can afford to invest in a wooden gazebo, such a structure makes for a very attractive focal point in your outdoor space. This option gives you a handsome roof, half height sides, and a super-handy bar area around three sides, the perfect place to rest your Pimms. This measures in at 2.2 by 2.2 metres and is made from FSC-certified wood that's been given an anti-rot treatment. This obviously requires construction, but all fixings are included.

Customer review: "I am absolutely made up with the quality of my gazebo. I hade no issues with any of the wood, no splittings, twists etc. The drawings were very easy to read and work from. All of the screws, fittings etc are of a very high quality."

If your garden style is more contemporary than cottage, a pergola-style hot tub cover offers a clean, modern alternative to traditional gazebos. This metal frame is made of a mix of aluminium and steel and can be anchored to a wooden deck, used on a brick surface, or drilled onto a concrete patio. The canopy can be drawn across when you need shade from the sun, but needs to be pulled back in heavy rain.

Customer review: "It is sturdy once anchored. Relatively straight forward to assemble. Good value for money."

If you're looking for a seasonal solution, Laz-Z-Spa's pop-up gazebo is a tent-style option that can offer shade from the sun, breeze, and light precipitation. This offers a pop-up design with Lay-Z-Spa promising you can get it set-up in around 15 minutes. There are four detachable doors and four internal pockets that can hold your essentials while you're soaking in the tub.

Customer review: "I love my gazebo it is like having a room in your garden. I go and read in there it is lovely and relaxing. I wish I got one years ago."

This is another tent-style solution, but with a twist - it comes complete with built-in lighting that can be controlled remotely. This means you can adjust your illumination options while you're sat relaxing in your hot tub. This has a generous 3.5 metre diameter and an internal height of 2.5 metres. The side panels zip on and off so you can decide how sheltered you want to be.

Customer review: "This item is an absolute bargain - it looks good - covers the hot tub and an asset to any gardens."
