I made a WOOD HOT TUB out of 2x6s
Переглядів 3,547,835
День томуI made DIY WOOD HOT TUB out of cedar 2x6s and it was really easy! We also built an DIY Outdoor Entertainment Center using MSE Audio's Rockustics Cherry Bomb Outdoor speakers: learn more about them here: bit.ly/cherrybombhm This video is sponsored by MSE Audio and we are really excited to work with these high fidelity outdoor speakers that can be installed directly into or on top of the ground. We used a Goal Zero Yeti 400 power pack to power this system and the TV this way we don’t need to run wires underground. These Goal Zero systems are best way I have found to easily take electrical loads off the grid. This cedar hot tub is a surprisingly easy DIY project that only requires basic straight cuts of 2x6s and a couple gallons of flex seal.

@@wiktorszymczak4760 Well, some Americans may love it because it can have an attractive-to-them natural color, which is a reason any people group might choose to use one wood over another.

Nice build. You should do a small test version without the flex seal. There are boats that don't use any sealant at all. I believe the water swells the wood and seals all of the boards. And I'm surprised you didn't offset the boards to have a lap/box joint on the corners, this would give your corners much more strength and allow you to get a fixing in 2 directions. It's a simple design but looks and seems to work great 👍
@thomasscialla1115 2 роки тому
You can build this out of plywood, but you would need to frame it with dimensional lumber in order for it to withstand the outward push of the water. Polyamide Epoxy will seal it perfectly. It comes in a variety of colors (including clear) and it is widely used in plywood aquariums. It would certainly be cheaper to build with plywood.

Yes, you can use any wood that will hold the weight of the water. No flex seal needed. Wood glue (TB3) and screws to hold it together. Then, coat the entire inside with commercial grade epoxy. Stone Coat sells it retail and theirs is good up to 600° with a uv inhibitor included.
@joseph1760 2 роки тому
I would highly suggest to coat the entire tub inside out and bottom in 4-6 coats of a marine grade polyurethane.

All you need is one layer of cedar. Then, line the interior with a thin layer of fiberglass and clear epoxy to permanently seal the wood. Sand it to a perfectly smooth surface. This is how you make cedar canoes that will actually last for decades. Any other way, and the wood will eventually rot..

@@McClimber234 ya, probably won’t rot because cedar is great that way. Most wood hot tubs are made with clear straight grain material because the knots will pass water directly through. Certainly won’t rot but the difference in moisture between the inside, middle, and outside of the tub is going to cause some wild warpage over not so much time, and that could easily cause total failure of the joints.

@OutnBacker 2 роки тому
I don't know how long you intend this tub to last, or what your weather exposure is where you live, but since you spent a ton on cedar, you might drain it and let it dry completely, then coat the insides with thinned epoxy. This will accomplish two things: 1) Epoxy is waterPROOF, not merely water resistant. Thinned epoxy will saturate into the fibers and not just seal the surface. It will make the wood sort of like a plastic laminate. 2) Raw cedar will soon begin to split and you may get long, sharp "bayonets" that can be very annoying. The boards you used are "plane sawn" not "vertical grain", so they will cup and produce the sharpies. The epoxy will greatly reduce that occurrence. You can leave the outside bare and it will naturally weather to a nice gray, but you could also seal it with a marine/spar urethane for a deep golden finish. Make sure it is UV rated. Nice job.

There should be a small benches or seats inside at the ends so you don't end up sliding under the water and not seeing over the sides. This allows you to sit easily without having your arms over the sides to hold yourself in place. There needs to be a small steps or platform on the outside so you can climb in and out of the tub without a slip.

Make it and put it in, rather than fixing permanently which makes it harder to clean

I had a 7’ x 4’ cedar barrel hot tub a few years back. I used my outdoor wood burning boiler to heat it. I built a heat exchanger and used a Taco 007 pump to pump the water from the hot tub through the heat exchanger and by utilizing an anti-scald valve, I could set the temperature and just leave it. It worked great.
@MikeyB_1972 2 роки тому
Also, using cedar is the key. It swells up from the water and makes a tighter fit

In the aquarium world we use timber to make tanks larger than this all the time - it's surprisingly strong when properly glued, although I suspect your silicone won't bond very well to the wood and will eventually be your point of failure - with timber aquariums we generally only use silicone as a gasket, not a glue, because it doesn't bond that well to timber for this kind of application
@tylergady2019 Рік тому

On this TV show they mentioned alternating the pieces of wood by the end grain to avoid cupping. One where the grain curves up, the next put it curves facing down.
@Clean97gti 11 місяців тому
This is a good idea. Cedar is pretty durable but I would also suggest an oil based finish for this on the outside, especially on the endgrain. In a few years, it will begin to split and check.

I would think the steel bands are for a tension style tub. These tubs are done not even using sealant. The leak until the wood swells and no longer leaks. However this tubs looks easy. Something I can do without worry. Plus it looks great.
@capitaldd3693 2 роки тому
Not sure how I ended up on this site/page. But the build was great , I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for posting. I believe doubling up the sides and ends eliviated the need for additional support. Although, as most wood will dry and shrink over time(pun intended), you should periodically Check the fasteners to ensure they are tight. A stainless band might look good against the cedar. Did you consider a tongue and groove board to help eliminate leaks...just a thought...? Good job, enjoy the tub....🥃

I have a hot tub. It takes that long to heat up because you don't have a cover. You're letting the heat escape and wasting energy. A tarp would suffice while it heats up. While you build a simple cover.

I'm amazed at how many woodworkers don't know that when you clamp up large projects, you need a top support board to keep it from bowing. That would have saved you a bunch of time and extra steps to get your project back to a flat surface.

Maybe because they aren't 'woodworkers' and are just people trying things out hte first time. Sort of like using white silicone and then finding out its a mess to clean up.

A better material to seal between the layers would be a product like red guard that is used in showers and bathrooms and is a waterproofing membrane and crack isolation barrier typically used under tile but you can also get the product in a clear version instead of the red but it’s the same stuff. You can get a 5 gallon bucket for around $150 and it would do more tubs than you want with 2-3 coats between the layers. It’s applied with a paint roller and dries in about 15 min depending upon weather. That would be a much better and more cost effective product to use instead of Flexseal. This is a fantastic design but I also think I would use a shiplap or half lap joint on the edges of the boards and if you did that you do not need any sealer at all. The cedar swell with humidity and moisture and will seal itself within minutes, especially if each board had a half lap joint. I think I’ll go ahead and build one like that to test out but think it would be a nice improvement to your already fantastic design!! Thanks for the video, good job!
