There’s no doubt that hot tubs are a fabulous addition to any garden. From sipping on a glass of prosecco with friends to soothing aching muscles after a long work out, they certainly bring a whole new level of attraction to your outside space.
One of the only problems with investing in a hot tub for your garden is where to put it. While your patio may pose the perfect area, the combination of the sun streaming down on you and the hot bubbles could make the heat a bit too overbearing.
On the other end of the spectrum, putting your hot tub in a shaded area may make it a bit too cool, particularly on the shoulders when you’re sipping on your drink. There’s also the issue of the British winters being particularly cold and wet – who wants a wet hot tub party?
Thankfully, Broadview’s self-build pergolas can solve all of these problems. They’re a fantastic idea for any one who has or is looking to invest in a hot tub, as they allow you to create the perfect climate. Too hot? Close the roof to create a shaded area. Starting to rain? Close the roof and pop on the heaters.
To learn more about how Broadview’s pergolas can work for your hot tub area, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team. We’ve put this guide together to give you an idea of how a pergola can work alongside your hot tub, and why a Broadview pergola is the superior choice.
Top pergola ideas for your hot tub
- Pergola with automated roof
- Pergola with heater
- Pergola with sides
- Pergola with integrated lighting
1. Pergola with automated roof
Investing in a self-build pergola with automated roof is your ticket to quick and easy climate control. Too hot? Adjust the angle of the louvres so they provide more shade. Want to experience more of that glorious sunshine? Adjust the angle of the louvres to allow as much exposure as possible. To go a step further, you could invest in a pergola with a retractable roof – this gives you full sun exposure, almost as though you’re not sat under a pergola at all.
2. Pergola with heater
Want to use your hot tub all year round? You can with a Broadview pergola. We offer two styles of heater – traditional infra-red heaters and glass panelled heaters – both of which provide ample heat when the air gets chilly. Opt for several heaters to ramp up the heat in the coldest months and control them all from a remote control so you can switch up the environment without getting out of the hot tub – making sure to not get the remote control wet of course!
3. Pergola with sides
When weighing up the pros and cons of investing in a hot tub, peeking neighbours can be one of the number one reasons not to buy. Thankfully, this is all avoided with a Broadview self-build pergola. You can choose to add mounted or integrated side screens to your pergola, creating a completely private environment in which to enjoy your hot tub. Not only are they great for creating privacy, avoid glaring sun by pulling down your screen to the perfect level and create extra shade when things get a bit too hot!
4. Pergola with integrated lighting
One of the top reasons why people invest in a pergola is to create a cute and cosy atmosphere – get your hot tub party ready with a pergola with integrated lighting. Add LED strips to your louvres or integrate LED lighting into the frame of your pergola to surround yourself with low level lighting. Change the colour of your lighting with the press of a button to go from relax mode to full on party mode – a Broadview pergola really will take your hot tub party to a whole new level.
