Designing a Custom Deck for Your Hot Tub

There are three major things to consider when you design your custom deck for your hot tub.
• First, it must be totally level and secure from sinking or shifting.
• Second, it should be sturdy enough to take the weight of a full hot tub with people in it. Hot tubs can weigh 3,000 pounds or more when they are full, and add in the weight of a group of people and that can be quite a load on a small deck. Make sure the material is strong enough to stand up to the weight.
• Finally, make sure the deck is bigger than the hot tub and accessible from all sides. You'll need to do maintenance occasionally and placing the tub on a too small or inaccessible deck makes it much more difficult and demanding.



Hot Tub vs. Hot Bath

Anyone who has leisurely soaked in a hot tub knows the warm, soothing water promotes stress relief and relaxation. Stress relief like this leads directly to a healthier lifestyle. Why? The warm water of a spa buoys you up, making you feel weightless, and the tub sustains the warm temperature, unlike a hot bath that can grow cold before you're fully relaxed. A warm bath helps you begin to relax after a long day, but a hot tub expands the experience and aids in deeper relaxation.

Get a Workout in Your Hot Tub

Some hot tub models come with built-in exercise equipment so you can get in a workout and then relax afterward. Some hot tub models have rowing machines, while others have pulley systems that add an aerobic workout to your daily soak. Check with your dealer to see what hot tub models they carry that include exercise equipment. You can also purchase wrist weights, resistance gloves, and ankle weights made especially for use in pools and hot tubs to add even more resistance to your workout. There are even large swim spa models now available that offer a swim current that allows you to swim in place with various resistances.

Kids Love Spas!

Are you looking for a way to bring your family together and create a more intimate family relationship? Think about investing in a family-size spa to create an instant family vacation any time of the year. Kids love spas, and families report spas have added a new dimension to their lives and their relationships. Spas are fun for the entire family, and a great place to unwind and share the day's activities before heading off to bed for the night. Instead of the family dinner, the family spa night is becoming a ritual all around the country. Spas are great fun for neighborhood birthday and holiday celebrations, too!
