Hello World! Welcome Friends! Perhaps, there’s no better way to relax and unwind than soaking in a spa. But if you don’t have the luxury of time to regularly go out of your house to go to a spa center or facility, you might want to consider building a home spa.
It can be a brilliant choice as it is more convenient and cost-effective to avoid excessive spending when going to a spa place. But before installing one, you should know more about a portable home spa and its benefits first.
What Is a Portable Home Spa and Its Benefits?
A home spa can be interchangeable with a hot tub, or it can be an in-ground spa. But the difference with a portable spa is that it’s a hot tub placed above the ground and is not built into your landscaping. It can be a more convenient option as it allows you to easily remove your hot tub and take it with you wherever you want to use it or when you move houses.
Having a home spa also comes with many health benefits. It can significantly improve your blood circulation by relaxing the tissues around your joints when you use it regularly. It can also relieve your stress from school, work, or house chores. Also, soaking in a spa can help slow down aging as spending more time in it can provide anti-aging therapy for your whole body. It also helps maintain clean and good skin health as your skin gets an oxygen boost and relief from harmful pollution and irritants.
Now you have an idea of what a portable home spa is and have learned some of its benefits. It’s time for you to know the things that you have to consider when installing one at your home and ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do You Have Enough Space For It?
Space is the first important factor to consider when installing a home spa. It won’t be a problem for you if you have extra space in your house. But if you have a small space, your options may be limited. So, it’s best to check your lot and floor area first and know if you still have some extra square footage to place your spa. If you have thought about installing a portable spa, limited space may not be much of an issue, as you can just set it above the ground in your backyard. It will also require less work as you won’t need to dig the ground anymore to create a provision for your spa.
Luckily, even if the space is limited, many portable spas come in various sizes to fit different yard dimensions. Before making a decision, it’s wise to explore your options and check out models that can accommodate your space effectively. If you’re unsure about committing to a purchase, a hot tub rental here can be a great alternative to test out the experience without the upfront investment. This way, you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of a spa while determining the best permanent setup for your home.
2. Do You Have The Right Location?
After carefully considering all the extra space in your home, the next step is to decide where to install your spa. While you can position it pretty much anywhere inside or outside of your home, it’s also essential to pick the right spot to place it. Finding the right location for your home spa is necessary to ensure that you’ll get the most out of its benefits. And if you’re planning to place it in your backyard, you need to initially assess if it’s the right location for your outdoor spa.
One of the factors to consider in choosing the right location for your portable home spa is privacy. You may want to avoid it being situated in a spot where your neighbor and other people passing by can see you. Keep in mind that privacy is of utmost importance to make sure that you feel fully relaxed while soaking in your spa. It’s ideal for building an enclosure to avoid people from seeing you or choosing a spot surrounded by trees, vines, and shrubs to have privacy from any angle.
3. How Much Is Your Budget?
Aside from having enough space and a perfect location to install your portable home spa, it’s also vital that you know how much exactly you are willing to spend on it. Having a sense of what you’re working with in terms of budget can help you decide what type of spa can work for you. The cost of a spa may vary depending on its style and features and its size, location, and materials.
For an above-ground portable spa, the cost can range from USD$400 to USD$12,000 depending on the material, according to HomeAdvisor. You can opt for an inflatable vinyl if you want a cheap and easy-to-install spa or go for a vinyl-lined for another low-cost option. You can choose from wooden or acrylic options for a more stylish design. However, they’re more expensive and heavier, which means they’ll need a stronger foundation.
4. How’s The Climate In Your Area?
One more critical factor to consider when building a home spa is the climate in the area where you live. You might not be able to use your spa very often or as much as you’d like if you’re living in an area with a long rainy season.
On the other hand, you also might not want to climb in your hut tub if the climate is too warm in your place. But whether you live in an area with four seasons or with a warm climate, it’s best to consider placing your spa in a spot that would get the maximum amount of light during the day and just the right amount of wind during the night. If you’re in a windy location, installing a cover or fence is ideal for lessening the intensity of wind coming into your home spa area.
Conclusion
Nothing beats the feeling of enjoying your free time relaxing and de-stressing in a spa after long hours of studying or working. Having a portable spa at home allows you to unwind as much as you’d like and provides a space to bond and chill with your family and friends.
