Welcome to our forum.
You might want to re think you current layout. In the winter, you're gonna want that tub close to the door. MAybe move the tables to the new area, and shore up an existing section that's close to the door? /just spitballin'
I do not mind the cold weather. LET IT SNOW!!!!! It will only be about 30 - 35 feet to where the tub will be.
QuoteI do not mind the cold weather. LET IT SNOW!!!!! It will only be about 30 - 35 feet to where the tub will be. Remember what you just wrote above and then try this.Wait till there is snow on your deck and nice and cold. Get your suit on, grab a towel, run outside about 30 feet from the door, mimic brushing the snow off the invisible spa cover, mimic lifting the invisible spa cover, lay the towel down on a chair so it will get good and cold, get in the invisible spa, now mimic geting back out, wrap the towel around you and run back in the house...... so, how did that "only" 30 feet feel? Oh, I forgot, get the better half to do this with you.....
Go with what best suits you and your family rather than listening to the wimps like drew who think a little cold weather will discourage the use of the tub (located away a little further away from the house vs right outside the door) for hearty, manly men like you and I.Seriously, ours is also about 20' from our patio door so we have a short walk as well. On nights when the temps have been in the 20's, the cold factor is only uncomfortable during closeup after soaking. As we don't yet have our Christmas terrycloth robes yet, I have to add my chems and close the cover just with a towel draped over myself. That does get a little chilly; but with a heavyweight robe, I doubt it will be a concern. The process only takes about 1 minute max.
I agree....Maybe try to re-configure it slightly closer to the house especially if you live in a cold weather area.The dripping wet walk when it's freezing outside may be ok to you, but to others like guests/kids/elderly relatives it may not be the best situation.But what-ever you decide it looks like you will have a wonderul and beautiful spa environment to enjoy for many years!
