Gazebo vs Umbrella. Which one is better?

When investing in a luxury product like a spa pool, you might want to ensure you’re able to maximise its functionality and the enjoyment you get out of it. One aspect of that is selecting the right area in your backyard in which your spa pool will live. You may want to look out at a view, or you may want to be in an area as sheltered as possible.

There are a couple of options to protect you and your Spa from Sun and Rain:

Option 1: A gazebo to house your new relaxation station

(sturdy, but very expensive)

Just the look of our gazebos is enough to really transform the landscape of your backyard into something you’d expect when staying in a fancy resort. Corner windows and a clear skylight ensure you’re still able to enjoy those beautiful New Zealand nights and stare up into the stars. Features, like Louvre windows, allow added privacy or access to any views on offer, while a bar section encourages a social vibe, accommodating guests who aren’t even soaking in the spa! The life of your spa pool cover will also be extended when housed in a gazebo, as it will face much less contact with rain and UV rays. The protection provided by a gazebo will also keep your spa pool’s water hotter for longer as wind stripping heat off the top of your spa will rapidly lower the temperature. That means reduced power bills!

Option 2: A Cantilever Outdoor umbrella is the perfect accessory to enhance your spa experience

(universal and cheap)

An Outdoor Umbrella provides reliable shade from harsh UV rays, keeping you comfortable and protected in summer. During rainy days, it offers shelter so you can still enjoy your spa. Stylish and practical, it safeguards both you and your investment
