Spa At Home
A SPA IN the backyard could be the ultimate in luxury - more so when all you need is a relaxed bath to calm your frazzled nerves. Ideally, a spa must be located close to your home with easy access. It could be a spa that’s exclusively for relaxation or one that could also double up as a space for entertainment and family gatherings. Privacy, aesthetics and the scenic view the location offers must also be considered while selecting the right place for your backyard spa. A natural grove, a pool or a scenic view could all be used to advantage. The final design must always consider sun and wind exposure and the existing landscape.
Apart from this, you will need a level surface that is strong enough to support it. The size of the spa will determine the exact amount of space that’s needed. Another point to remember is the source of electricity to run the spa. Once this is put in place, you could consider other retreat features such as lighting and music. You’ll also need access to a hose to fill your spa.
To set up your hot tub retreat in the backyard, you need to plan ahead for a built-in, integrated look. The hot tub could be installed flush-mounted with the deck surface, partially mounted on the deck surface so that a portion of the hot tub is exposed, or freestanding. The advantage of a freestanding setup is that if the spa is ever removed, there won’t be a hole in the deck. The deck could be of ceramic, tile, slate, brick or stone.
A beautiful landscape could be the perfect setting for a backyard spa. Gazebos, arbors, potted plants and water features like waterfalls and fountains could create the right ambience for a magical retreat. You could transform the space by growing some fragrant flowering vines. You could turn the space into a permanent retreat with a decorative gazebo to enhance that sense of privacy. Sliding windows could be another option. A pitched roof could keep the elements away. You could also create an outdoor room in your backyard around your bathtub with weather proof columns and beams and a metal coated roof. You could create a natural retreat around the bath tub.
