Why Decking Is Great To Put A Hot Tub Onto

You already know all about the great benefits of decking in the summer months; being able to step out and extend the house in an evening, enabling the kids to play in a safe environment all day, eating outdoors, having barbecues and entertaining friends and family. The home, of course, is your kingdom, and you deserve a little bit of indulgence, and increasingly people have been investing in the ultimate outdoor luxury for which decking is the perfect platform; the hot tub.

The hot tub is a place where the kids can play and the adults can relax, it is a safe space where the whole family can recreate luxurious holidays and treat themselves to a spa break in their own home, and at any time of year. Hot tubs have become much more accessible and affordable in recent years as various outlets have cottoned on to the nation’s interest and the fact that people are prepared to radically landscape their garden in order to accommodate one.

Anti-slip decking

Naturally, decking is the ideal location for a hot tub for many reasons. It is raised off the ground which will improve the longevity of the hot tub by protecting it, decking is flat and clean and there is no problem if some water spills out of it. At Northern Deckline we can supply non-slip PVC or composite decking and for the ultimate safety environment we can also fit accompanying balustrade to complete the installation.

Installing a hot tub will often form the basis of a complete garden re-design, and of course decking is central to that. If you speak to our design experts and explain your plans for your outdoor space, we can work out the most practical and cost effective design for the space available. This needs to consider factors such as privacy from overlooking neighbours, the sun’s location at various times of day and where an electrical supply can be installed.

Decking accessories for your hot tub area

You might want to install some lighting into your decking to really create an atmospheric and relaxing spot in the garden at night, and you can also incorporate some kind of overhead protection, like a pagoda or a retractable design. We can’t help you with that installation of course, but we can incorporate it into your decking design and help you achieve your ultimate outdoor space.

There are lots of ways in which you can design and layout your available area to really make the most of your garden, and what was once a small and featureless outdoor space can be transformed into a luxury retreat in your own back garden. Decking really can help you transform your life, and as a base for installing a hot tub and building the ultimate extravagance, decking is the key to everything. So treat yourself, you deserve it, and get in touch with us to talk about your hot tub plans, and we can help you make them happen.
