Closing in deck for winter?

(1/2) > >>

Gibson00:
Hey all, so our back deck consists of an upper deck maybe 10-12 feet off the ground, and a platform deck at ground level underneath it where our hot tub will sit.

For those with a similar setup, do you enclose that lower deck for the winter months?  Just use clear tarps?

Sam:
No way!  I have my hot tub out in the open and would never enclose it.  Nothing better than a light snow on a 25 degree night with my tub set at 106!  Maybe a little frost in my beard.

cranbiz:
I'm opposite. I like the idea of at least having some sort of wind break in the dead of winter.

My tub is on an enclosed porch. I still get the benefits of more or less being outside but have weather protection and wind protection.

Is yours a temporary enclosure?  What do you use?
And yeah, same for me, don't need the freezing wind on my head/face, and also would like less snow drift building up on the deck that we are walking onto.

cranbiz:
It's a porch that is enclosed with sliding glass doors, so it's permanent.

Because they are sliding doors, I can open it up and get the outdoor feel and still close it up for protection and some warmth during the winter.
