Patio Cover for Hot Tub (Should I Cover?)

I get this question all the time. Should I put my hot tub under a Patio Cover? Or Should I build a roofed cover for my hot tub?
This video goes into why I would caution against putting your hot tub under a cover.
One of the main reasons I would think twice before putting a hot tub under a covered patio is because I love to sit in my hot tub at night and loot up at the stars. I love those cold clear nights and checking out the night sky. You hot tub also serves as another destination so why would you put your hot tub under a structure that usually serves as a primary destination?
There is way more info in the video and I do explain when it would be a good idea to put the hot tub under a covered patio.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Fantastic structures with the hot tubs really adding to the use. The idea of using a large umbrella to protect from the elements is genius!

Mike I absolutely love your videos & the gardens you do. Today I’ve spent the whole day looking at hot tubs & came the decision a parasol is probably the best way forward for me rather than another structure & this video couldn’t be better timing.

I am late to the party but will be getting a hot tub and possibly a pergola built. Wanted to know what the dimensions of this covered patio was

[@jmdinlove5454]

But you're missing the issue. Will the steam effect the overhead cover?

Please make a video on landscaping around outdoor eye sore/ugly features (ex: power lines) in backyard!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you Xoxo - tough one those power lines - we do run into that at times - and we try to screen off A/C units - garbage cans . . . thx again we'll put it on the list!
