No Room for a Pool? Try a Hot Tub!

Many people with small lots think there's no way they can enjoy the water at home, but there is an oft-overlooked solution to the problem of limited space. This solution is to have a hot tub installed.

Hot tubs can be used in many places that are too small to accommodate a full-sized pool. Here are three good possibilities:

In the Yard

This is a great location to put a hot tub when the intention is to enjoy it during the summer. It allows the sun to shine on soakers and the breeze to blow by freely. A yard location also keeps water outside, so there's no need to worry about dripping it throughout the house after a soak.

The only downside to an outside location is that most people will consider it too cold to use a hot tub New York during the winter. Of course, the hardy may choose to use it anyway and just dash through the snow to get to and from the tub.

In a Shed

People who are sick of being snowed out of their hot tub may choose to build a shed around the vessel. A basic shelter will keep the wind and snow off and provide a wind-free area to dry off before going back into the house. If electricity is wired in, a space heater can be added to provide total comfort during soaking times.

Despite their names, sheds don't have to be stark. They can be outfitted with all of the amenities of a house. The only limitations here are the owner's imagination and budget.

In the House

Most houses don't have room for large hot tubs as designed, but converting an attached garage or upgrading a basement will fix this issue. There are many benefits to an in-house installation. The primary one is that the hot tub will be truly comfortable to use all year round. Others include proximity to the kitchen and bathroom, comfortable areas for friends to congregate, and entertainment such as television.

No matter which location is chosen for a new hot tub New York homes, it will bring plenty of enjoyment during its time of operation. It's the perfect solution to the desire to have a contained body of water in an area where land space is too limited for a full-sized pool.
