Feeling the heat
If you don’t have quite enough space for a pool, but still love the idea of incorporating water into your outdoor life, then a hot tub might be the best solution for you. They don’t take up too much space, as you’re unlikely to be dong lengths in it, and they’re great for cooler evenings.
You can install your hot tub above or under the ground, so you could have it sat within your patio. As long as you keep on top of the maintenance, you can enjoy a relaxing soak out under the stars without leaving your property.
