Decking is getting more fashionable in outdoor living. The choice we have is endless!
Deck design features a number of materials such as concrete, stone, tile, etc. There are great examples of pool designs using wood. Why decide on wood?
Concrete and wood are a similar price for basic details. Tiles are not suitable for cold climate and tend to be more expensive. Having spaced joints will help you not slip over. The main two issues that will dictate your choice will be your budget and suitability.
Privacy screens can be a really nice addition to a deck design as long as there is a good balance between achieving privacy and completely shutting out the space around us.
An area roughly 12x12 minimum should be allowed for the deck design in which to place the hot tub. The tub should be situated in a private location in the garden! The house entrance is the best way for access.
Besides the tub being placed well, screened from view, and easy to get in and out of the other thing to consider is that the hot tub should be level to the deck, or for choice about 18” above it.
It is a good idea to place some sort of seating arrangement nearby to the hot tub and then surround by a screen with maybe a pergola above it. One major thing to consider if this is within access to children is that the hot tub needs a locking lid.
Decking can also be used to build up to a swim spa which has been partly recessed into the ground. Decking combines well the hot tub cabinets. Hot tub cabinets come in a variety of colours which blend with different deck designs. They come in a choose of mahogany, red wood or slate. These are all maintenance free cabinets so wont require any staining in the future.
