Considerations When Choosing a Hot Tub Size
Space Requirements
Measure Your Space:
- Before selecting a hot tub, measure the available space in your backyard or patio to ensure a comfortable fit. Leave room for steps, maintenance access, and any additional furniture.
Usage Needs
Who Will Use It?:
- Consider who will be using the hot tub regularly. For example, if you want a standard hot tub size for social gatherings or family time, opt for a larger model. If it's mainly for personal relaxation or for a couple, a smaller hot tub may be more practical.
Selecting the right hot tub size depends on your available space, usage needs, and how many people will regularly use it. Whether you need a small, intimate hot tub or a larger one for entertaining, Sundance® Spas offers models to meet various needs. The average hot tub size ranges from compact 2-3 person tubs to large 6+ person models, ensuring there's a perfect fit for everyone.
