Deck Out Your Hot Tub
March 14/2020 With fall just around the corner, are you looking for ways to freshen up your hot tub giving it a new look? Here are some things you might consider!
Hot tub covers are heavy and cumbersome to handle. Placing it on a concrete patio or wooden deck can damage the vinyl leading to a hole in the cover which will allow the foam core to absorb moisture. That moisture will make the cover heavier still and reduce the energy efficiency of the cover. To make it easier to use and extend the life of the cover, consider installing a coverlift. There are many designs to choose from. Most attach to the side of the hot tub, while others mount at the base. There are manual lifts that simply keep the cover in place while you use muscle to open it. Another style is a hydraulic cover lift. This one has shocks on each side that help lift the weight of the cover. Yet another style is a pair of arms that open to the back of the hot tub and provide a shelf space to simply slide the folded cover on to hold it while you soak. Each lift has different requirements regarding the space needed behind the hot tub for the lift to function. If you have only been using half of your hot tub because you are unable to manhandle the cover, now is the time to free yourself from the hassle of a bulky cover and install the cover lift that is best for you today!
A plain hot tub sitting in the backyard can be boring. Marquis Environments are a sure way to dress up that drab hot tub! For minimal change, add a single or double step, or a storage step with room to conceal the chemicals inside! You could also add a bench for a nice place to lay your towel and a seat to slip your water shoes on after soaking in the hot tub. Be bold and add a corner module to wrap around the hot tub for additional outside seating areas. If the storage step peaks your interest but isn’t large enough to hold all your maintenance items, consider adding a spa-side storage cabinet with a table top to hold your snacks or candies as well as a front door that opens to hold chemicals and towels. Available in colors to coordinate with your Marquis hot tub skirt, these environments make a great addition to your backyard living space!
Shake up the ambiance of your hot tub by adding some accessories! Do you ever get thirsty while soaking? Get a floating tray that can hold your favorite beverage along with some snacks to munch on. If you don’t want to eat or drink, flip the tray over and play a rousing game of floating checkers or grab a deck of waterproof playing cards and challenge your friends and family to a tournament. For a mood changer, how about some floating lights? Floating lights come in orb and heart shapes as well as others and offer an array of color choices. These moving lights offer a softer mood-setting light than the traditional hot tub lights. Removable spa pillows offer a soft place to rest your head while enjoying the hot, bubbling water relax away your aches and pains. Last, but not least, don’t forget the nose! Some people like the fresh smell of the water, others prefer to add fragrances to the hot tub to enjoy a variety of scents! Specially designed spa fragrances add a scent and moisturizer to the water, but won’t affect your water chemistry or add unwanted bubbles! There are many different fragrances to choose from and with a twenty-four hour life span, you can try a different one each time you soak without the risk of the different fragrances fighting each other for your nose’s attention! You can even set a holiday mood with fragrances like Candy Cane, Sugar Cookie or Holiday Spice. Turn your backyard into a tropical get-away with Hawaiian Sunset, Coconut Mango or Polynesian Paradise! Vanilla smells like fresh baked cookies and Eucalyptus Mint is sure to open your sinuses during those nasty winter colds!
