Default Spa Gazebo help?

Well my parents want a spa, and they want a gazebo to cover it or so we can put the spa inside. What would be the best way to go upon this? i've seen a few sites that u can order them but they are a bit expensive like 10 grand...anyone have any adivse? or should we just find a contractor and have them do it? we have a few friends that do contrustruction and that might work.

I'd strongly advise against letting a contractor play architect. It will look like crap. I say spend the dinero to install the hot-tub indoors ( if I'm reading this right h: ).

If inside installation is out of the question, I'd need to get a feel for the exterior design of the house in order to weigh in on design for a gazebo. :dunno:

A good design can make the install look great, but a bad design can make the finished product look horrible.

that is from my window right now, that goes along side all my room which is on the corner, and to the garage which is next to my room...so its pretty big space.

Well a 20x40 yard seems generous enough.... :thinking:... regardless of the location (indoors or outdoors), you're going to want some amount of privacy.. h:

The best piece of advice I can give at this point is do it once, and do it right... I know its a cliché, but still....
