An assembly comprising:
- a back wall;
- two side walls, each with a first end attached to an end of the back wall, forming back wall/side wall attachments;
- two transition walls, each transition wall comprising two generally perpendicular walls joined together, each transition wall attached at first ends to second ends of the side walls, forming transition wall/side wall attachments;
- a front wall attached to and extending between second ends of the transition walls, forming front wall/transition wall attachments;
- the back wall, side walls, transition walls, and front wall forming an assembly of vertically disposed walls and enclosing a cavity dimensioned to conform to and enclose a portable spa with a component portion for spa-related components and for access and service of spa-related elements.
An assembly comprising:
- a first set of walls attached at ends vertically placed to enclose a first cavity shaped to correspond to the lateral dimensions of a portable spa into which the portable spa may be placed,
- with an opening between two free wall ends and located to oppose access in the portable spa to spa-related components when the portable spa is placed;
- a second set of walls attached at ends and forming a second cavity, with two ends attached to the two free ends of the first set of walls such that the first cavity is joined with the second cavity, the second cavity for placement and access of spa-related components.
