4 Ways to Enhance Views From Your Hot Tub

1. Highest Options

On the exterior of your home, consider some of the highest options that can support a hot tub. A raised deck or patio will give you better views of the backyard and surrounding area. Some homes may have bedroom balconies that can support the weight of a hot tub.



Hot tub retailers will tell you if certain structures can handle the extra weight. If you don't have any raised decks or options, then consider risers just for the hot tub. A lift of just a couple of feet can enhance the views from your property and allow you to see more of the landscape.

2. Rail Heights

If you have porch rails or fences the hot tub presses up against, then try to ensure the hot tub rises higher than the rail. When you get above the rail, you will have an uninterrupted view that is similar to an infinity pool.

You can also shop for a hot tub without too high of raised edges so that, when you sink your body deeper down into the water, your view is still there and adds to the experience in the water.



If you have an open area without fences or rails, then consider the open space as well. It will help make the hot tub experience feel more open and you will feel more free in the water.

3. Eliminate Sun Glare

If you use the hot tub during the day, one of the biggest obstructions to your view is the sun. Not only does a bright sun make it hard to keep your eyes wide open, but sun glare can bounce off the water and shine in your face. The best way to maintain visuals during the day is with an adjustable cantilever umbrella that hangs over the hot tub.



An umbrella with an extended arm can attach to deck rails or stand on its own base. When the sun shines, you can simply move the umbrella to block out the sun and add some shade over the water. If the clouds are out or you use the hot tub at night, then you can simply swing the umbrella away from the hot tub and have clear views of the sky.

4. Exterior Lights & Starry Nights

Night time is one of the more relaxing times in a hot tub. When the stars are out, you can lay back, look up, and see the full night sky. The best way to do this is by blocking out all other lights. You may need exterior porch lights to make your way into the hot tub, but once you do, consider a remote to turn off the lights.

Smart lights allow you to turn off the lights with the tap of a phone. Shut the blinds in the house to cover up any extra lighting. The darker the hot tub area is, the more of the night sky you can see. Once you get everything set up, you can return night after night and enjoy the views of the sky.
