A hot tub customer is more than a one-time sale and commission — the purchase hopefully marks the beginning of a long-term relationship with the potential for scores of other purchases, such as accessories, steps, enclosures and more. They’re the products that make hot tub ownership easier, safer and more pleasant — and all while enhancing the aesthetics of the space. To see what we mean, take a look at just some of the spa steps, enclosures and surrounds on the market:
The Style 5 Hybrid surround from A&B Accessories makes a perfect add-on sale, the company says. The surround is made to fit all high-quality spas in the company’s exclusive Envirotech material, which never requires maintenance.
Marquis Environments are custom-made modules that transform any outdoor living space into a hot tub utopia, the company says. They are built with Durawood and designed to surround and complement all Marquis spas in a sophisticated way. Marquis Environments include an assortment of steps, seating, counter cabinets, custom shelves, stools, planters and towel bars.
The 32-inch Everwood Spa Step from Hot Spring Spas is constructed from rigid polymers and requires very little maintenance, the company says. The step, specifically designed to match Hot Spring spa cabinets, features an embossed wood grain and natural wood appearance. Available in Coastal Gray, Redwood and Espresso.
The EcoTech Spa Steps from Caldera Spas, available in Redwood, Coastal Gray, and Espresso, are extremely durable and virtually maintenance-free, the company says. These steps are the perfect complement to Caldera spas because they are made from the same material used in the EcoTech cabinets.
Sun Dome’s spa dome is made from the same 12 mil clear vinyl used to make its pool domes; it helps enclose and protect spas from the elements. No tools are required after the initial installation of any Sun Dome, the company says. Spa domes require a lumber base that is not provided.
Thanks to the unique Sure-Lock assembly system, the Sure Step Light eliminates wobble, making it the strongest step in the blow-molded class, the company says. Compatible with round and rectangular spas, the Sure Step Light is available in a wide variety of colors to match the majority of spa cabinets.
Leisure Concepts’ new SwimSpa Step 4 is strong, reliable, attractive and compatible with swim spas of any size. Made from quality aluminum and injection-molded plastic, these steps are designed for front and side entry. Large, slip-resistant rubber treads help ensure safe entry and exit. The steps come unassembled for easy shipping and are available in nine colors. Assembly time is 20 minutes or less.
New from PDC Spas is the EcoRock, a sturdy two-tier step unit in faux rock finish. The EcoRock is designed to enhance your customer’s backyard with its natural finish while also providing extra storage — the hinged top boulder of the EcoRock lifts to provide ample space for towels, accessories or ice and drinks.
The Spa Side Step from Cover Valet continues to offer dealers and their customers quality and price point all wrapped up in one, the company says. In addition to the Spa Side Step, Cover Valet offers a complete line of steps, lifters, fragrances and much more.
For privacy in tight spaces, the Tubtop Gazebo series offers fully enclosed or open-sided models. Units are ground supported and fit almost all square and rectangular tubs. Options include cover lifts, blinds for open sides, steps, bar and stools. Ships in one 750-pound crate and installs in less than two hours from start to finish.
The pergolas from Arbors Direct are manufactured in the U.S.A. using structural fiberglass beams and columns. Pergolas have a limited lifetime warranty and are available in multiple colors, the company says. Stock and custom pergolas are available and ship ready to install.
