WHY

Why a Cedar Wood Barrel Hot Tub

Why ? What makes a cedar tub stand out, compared to other spas. It's a good question BUT without doubt it is the ambience and aromatherapy that can only come from a natural wooden tub. Our tubs are almost 44" deep (48" high), which provides a unique buoyancy/floating effect. Combined with state of the art jets systems and the aroma of Western Red Cedar, the experience and pleasure of our wooden tubs is hard to beat. It is a unique soaking effect that is not available in shallow acrylic spas. The aromatic smell of cedar coupled with the relaxing soak and therapeutic massage provides a truly unique experience

There are a wealth of health benefits associated with warm water therapy – not least soothing the stresses of life away... and of course the sociability factor – relax in your hot tub and catch up with friends and family, after a barbeque perhaps, or late in the evening under a blanket of stars.

Only the highest quality cedar wood is used from the core or heart of the tree. The 46 staves (in the 6ft model) are coopered to such fine tolerances by our craftsmen, that when assembled and held tightly in place on the base by the three stainless steel bands add to that the fact that Cedar wood is meant to be damp. Once filled with water the wood swells to form a watertight seal somewhat like a boat or wooden keg for storing wine. This practice has been used for centuries and is extremely effective. We all know that hot tubs are great for relaxing muscles and getting rid of pain. This is something that has been proven again and again. However, what else are they good for? Well, along with providing relief to chronic pain or pain form an injury, a hot tub can do wonders for stress management. Remember that each of us is carrying a heavy load of stress, due to everyday life, and this takes a toll on our bodies and what we are able to do with them. By being in a hot tub and being surrounded by the hot water and soothing jets is a great way to get rid of the stress and reduce the strain on your body.

A huge factor in ridding yourself of stress is to simply relax. Just to take a moment and be by yourself in a hot tub is a great way for you to have a few minutes to sit and think about your day and what you have done. If you can find a moment to do this each day, you are going to be much healthier and much more productive.
