Homeowner's Guide To Buying A Hot Tub Spa For Your Home
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robin_Murray]Robin Murray
Imagine being able to fire up your barbecue for dinner and getting your hot tub spa warmed up for a relaxing soak later in the evening at the same time.
There is no question for many people that it is the greatest investment they have made for their home and yard. However, these tubs can be very expensive to purchase. That is why it is important to really think about the amount of times that you will actually use it before laying down your credit card to buy one.
How To Decide On A Hot Tub Spa Size
Each hot tub is made to accommodate a certain number of people either in sitting or reclining positions. Because of this, they are available in varying sizes.
The first thing that you should consider is the number of people that you think will use the tub on a regular basis. It might be nice to think that you are going to have five or six friends over every night joining you for a soak, but this may happen only occasionally. You might be better off purchasing a smaller tub that will be comfortable for you and one other person or even up to four people. You can save thousands of dollars by buying a smaller tub and still have lots of fun in it.
Where Are You Going To Position Tub
Before you head to the showroom to check out the new hot tub spas, it is important to decide where in your yard you would like to install it. For many people, the best spot is located in a shady spot on their patio and out of the view from the neighbors. Others like to have it in a location where they can see the view of the surrounding area if they are in a scenic location. Many people build or have installed over their tub a gazebo to protect them from the elements. There are gazebos available with or without sides to offer more privacy. However, adding a gazebo also adds to the cost.
Once you've decided on a location then you need to take some measurements of the area that you have to work with. It is easy to get caught up in the moment at hot tub spa showrooms with all the different tubs that are available. In the large showrooms them can look smaller than they actually are so be sure to check the measurements of the tubs against the actual measurements of the space you have to work with at your home.
With a little thought and planning, you will end up with a hot tub spa that you can have the benefit of enjoying for many years.
