Hot Tubs: Wood Soaker

Wooden tubs may seem like a quaint reminder of the past, but they are sturdy, practical and beautiful enough for modern use.

This hot tub is 100% teak that's been milled into tongue and groove planks. It's shipped as a ready-to-assemble kit. The planking is milled using computer-guided machinery for precision and accuracy.

Optional extras are matching teak benches. According to the manufacturer, two people working together can have this tub ready for its inaugral soaking in less than one hour.

The tub must be installed on concrete pad.
