Have you always wanted a hot tub but think you don’t have room for it in your small backyard? We at the Pro have good news for you! You can install a hot tub and enjoy its physical, social and emotional benefits no matter what size your yard is.
Optimize Placement
Placing a small hot tub close to your home maximizes your outdoor space. Typically, it will sit on your deck or near the side of your house rather than in a far corner of your lawn. With this placement, your spa is accessible to your family and close to the water and electrical lines it needs. You also have plenty of open lawn for playing, sunbathing or gardening.
You might prefer to place your hot tub in the middle of your lawn, though. Especially if you don’t use your lawn for play or garden purposes, place your spa as a focal point in your outdoor living area.
Enjoy Entertaining
Are you afraid a hot tub won’t give you enough room to entertain? Solve that problem with three entertaining tips that are perfect for small spaces.
- Folding tables and chairs rather than a large patio dining set provide portable and comfortable seating for everyone.
- An outdoor baker’s rack doubles as a decorative piece and holds party food and beverages.
- One or two other couples, instead of the entire neighborhood, provide the emotional bond you want as you all enjoy your backyard.
Landscaping
You can have it all–a hot tub and plant life–in your small backyard. Simply think outside the box.
- Plant flowers in raised gardens along the back perimeter of your lawn.
- Paint floral art on the hot tub covers.
- Display framed floral artwork near your hot tub on the exterior wall of your home.
- Hang baskets of real flowers from hooks attached to your home or spaced around the backyard’s perimeter.
Can you think of a more relaxing activity than sitting in your backyard hot tub after a long day of work? We Pros can’t either. Even if you have a small backyard, maximize it when you use a hot tub to wash your cares away.
Happy Tubbing!
