I'm back again!

Ok gang...now I need some thoughts, I need ya'll to tell me what you think of this idea these two nuts of men have decided to put in my yard! Instead of steps off my porch and steps into the hot tub which ok I agree that is troublesome for me with my painful back problems (I look like a 95 year old woman going down the front stairs anyway) They have decided to put in a ramp of sorts, I will step up onto a ramp that will be hooked to the house that goes from the porch to the other end of the gazebo and be able to step down into the hot tub without steps. I think it's crazy enough to work fine, but I'd kind of like some thoughts on you all's part. Do you all think it's a good idea or think maybe you may have another idea?

 If I understand what you are asking, you want to attach a ramp to the house, (at the same level as the door), which would go to the rim of the spa. Thus you would be stepping into the spa as if it was sunken into the ground?

I'm no expert, but I think most here would recommend against this type of setup, as it is too easy to fall into the tub and hurt yourself.

I would compromise and have the ramp level the same as the entrance/cool-down seat inside the tub. That way you would walk up to the tub, sit down on the side, and swing your legs over into the cool down seat.

Don't forget to have them apply a paint/sand mixture on the walkway of the ramp, for extra skid resistance.
