Hot Tub Cover?

6 years ago

I designed my hot tub deck exactly like this and now am struggling with how to integrate a retractable cover with a lift. Where/how is it stored here? Thank you! Beautiful design!

The cover is removed manually and positioned in a store area nearby. Thank you for the nice comments!

You can use side panels or a deck/surround to create what is, in effect, a free standing bath that would work well aesthetically and, optionally, as part of a wetroom-style bathroom. Deep soaking tubs are especially effective for such projects; they have smaller footprint, which affords more room in the shower area, but their greater depth makes them exceptionally comfortable.

Where should I put my hot tub?

And not too far from the house - as the walk back in - in the cold- when you are wet - isn't always the best bit !! If you put it on grass - add some decking squares or stepping stones to avoid muddy patches - but be careful that they arnt too slippery when wet !! Ours is sunk into our decking - and not too far from the house so we can watch tv or a movie in the garden room while we are in the tub ! :-)

Rustic indoor hot tub area for holiday let - needs conduit lighting ,
Q

Oh yay how cool! Where is this place it sounds divine? I can imagine it somewhere in the mountains with ski facilities close by! For a rustic (and industrial) look, I think conduit lighting is perfect for a few reasons: 1. Conduit lighting is used mainly outdoors and in industrial spaces (and more so in interiors these days). 2. Outdoor lighting will be IP rated, lighting near water needs to be waterproof or depending on its proximity water resistant. 3. You will have a huge variety and won't be limited by the track system as the conduit spacing and connections are free to be designed by you with the help of your electrician. Standard conduit piping is around 3m in length, so you will need to design your spacing rhythm either focussing around the hot tub or for the whole space. I would always have a minimum of two circuits for any space (I'm annoying like that) and usually have an outer ring (for mood) and an inner ring for function (with dimmers). In your instance, I would have three! The third ring would be the one down low, which should be dim (whilst sitting in the tub so that you can still see out) and as slimline (or built-in) as possible (so as not to stand out at knee level and cause injury). So that is what I would propose here, the lower outer ring will need to be pretty flat (not standy-outie) so that when people walk past they don't hurt themselves or burn themselves on the low level lighting. I gave you a design that i would propose to my own clients. It might be a little excessive for your rental, but it would create the most luxurious feel and you can always peel it back and just use one of these ideas. Good luck, I hope this helped you!
