I had a hex gazebo 11.5 X 13.5 ft some years back. It had a floor in it
and once I set it up, I put a 6 person Hot Tub in there.
To prevent racking, it had rough cut '2 bys' between the uprights, set about
2-3" above the floor,(bevel cut ends to match angles on uprights) then the
same again at about 30", going around thru 5 of the 6 openings. Between the
two horizontal pieces I described, I put 28" high cedar T&G boards in the 5
sections, leaving one open for acccess to the tub. I suppose that if
someone wanted less confining detail than the T&G, they could use good
quality lattice work..the 1" X 2" type instead. I liked the solid
"wainscotting" look of the T&G and it helped keep the wind off the hot tub.
