Title: Rectangular Sized Tubs
Post by: seefut on July 26, 2004, 01:59:06 pm

Hi I have a Deck that turns a corner.  The deck is 7'10" wide all the way around. I'm thinking of puttng a hot tub in the corner, but want to be able to walk past.

With a 7'x7' tub, there would be 14 inches clearance between the corners of the tub and house, or with a 6.5'x6.5' tub there would be 22.5" clearance.    The alternative is to go with a tub that is rectangular; say 7.5' or 8' x 6.5'.

Any recommendations on rectangular sized tubs  ???

Thanks in advance.

Seefut,
In general most manufacturers do not produce a rectangular spa.  However, there are two spas that Hotspring manufactures that are rectangular and going by your measurements would come close to fitting in your space.  The first is the 6 person with lounge Sovereign that is 6’8’’ X 7’9” and the second is the 5 person with no lounge Prodigy that is 6’2” X 7’3.”  The Sovereign is a much more popular spa than the Prodigy.  I would guess the Sovereign will cost in the $7,000 to $7,500 range and the Prodigy in the $6,000 to $7,000 range.  
I hope this helps and ask away if you have any more questions.

Try this one on for size. You should have 11 feet between the corner of the house and the corner of the deck diag. Putting this tub in the corner should leave you with 2 foot between the cover of the house and the tub, and two full access sides without space issue. All in a 80" x 88" tub!!!

Or if you would rather a tub without a lounge, look at Beachcomber's 530. (Dimensions: 70" x 86")
