When you’ve gotten yourself a hot tub in Fort Collins, you may be eager to just hop in whenever you feel like it, but with neighbors who might be watching, you’re concerned about privacy. In Fort Collins, many homes and backyards are very close together, making it difficult to get some privacy for your daily soaks. Here are some of our favorite ways to get privacy for your hot tub.
Freestanding Screens
One of the quickest and easiest ways to incorporate privacy in your yard for your hot tub is to build or buy a freestanding screen that you can easily place when you want to use your tub. Because Fort Collins can get windy from time to time, it’s a good idea to have a screen that you can easily put away, too, since the wind may send it flying. With a freestanding tub screen, you can also customize your hot tub’s shade, design, and ambiance, depending on where you place the screen and the time of day.
Pergolas with Shades
If you’re interested in building a more permanent form of privacy for your hot tub in Fort Collins, a pergola is a great choice. Pergolas will be more sturdy and withstand the wind and harsh weather conditions of Northern Colorado, and it provides more opportunities for privacy and shade, with overhead coverings or drop-down shades as options, too.
Privacy Plants
The community in Fort Collins is all about environmentally-friendly choices, and one way to create privacy around your hot tub is to plant tall trees or shrubs to help block out prying eyes. With this option, you also get the added benefit of blocking sound and wind, plus adding beauty if you choose trees that flower or are pleasing to the eye. If you choose to plant trees for privacy, just be sure to choose ones that don’t attract pests or unwanted visitors, like wasps or mosquitos.
Outdoor Furniture
If you’re unable to place a freestanding screen or build a pergola, you can always create more privacy for your hot tub area by creating a sort of outdoor living room around your hot tub. Place a patio umbrella near it or in lines of sight your neighbors may have to your tub and set up patio furniture in a nearby area to draw the eye away from your hot tub. With a beautiful setting close by or in front of your hot tub, you also get the added benefit of more socializing possibilities for entertaining. Your guests can sit and enjoy your tub or your furniture without having to stand around a hot tub or get in to be included.
