Its natural oils give it added protection against rot and decay. And specific to our cedar hot tubs, it has a great expansion ratio from wet to dry \u2013 so it forms a tight seal! Adding to all of that, its strong but fibrous structure is filled with tons of micro air pockets \u2013 making it an incredible insulator, and ensuring your cedar hot tub stays as hot as possible, without the need for added levels of insulation on the sides. It\u2019s really quite incredible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">As we do with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarbarrelsaunas.com\/\">cedar barrel saunas<\/a> as well, Northern Lights only uses clear (knot-free) grade A cedar for our barrel hot tubs, ensuring lasting quality and craftsmanship for years to come. As you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/pricing.html\">customize your own hot tub<\/a>, you can choose between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/cedar.html\">Western Red Cedar, or Alaskan Yellow Cedar<\/a> \u2013 both are great choices, with a straight grain pattern that gives them added stability against warping or twisting, and they\u2019re both incredibly durable.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/blogger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cedar_tubs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/blogger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cedar_tubs.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/blogger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cedar_tubs-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/blogger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cedar_tubs-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Last but definitely not least \u2013 we ensure that all of the the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/cedar.html\">cedar<\/a> we use for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedartubs.com\/\">barrel hot tubs<\/a> is sustainably harvested from forests that adhere to the strictest reforestation practices.
