Take a summer vacation without leaving your own
backyard!
Adding a hot tub or swimming pool to the outdoor living
area is rapidly becoming a “must have” in the home
improvement space, providing homeowners a soothing
sanctuary right on their own property. Driven by the need
for peaceful escapes to balance stressful lives, people
are creating these sophisticated spaces for enjoying time
with family and friends. Homeowners are thinking beyond
the barbeque and incorporating cozy outdoor fireplaces,
handy kitchen appliances like beverage refrigerators, and
to truly relax and recharge, a hot tub or swimming pool.
“Upgrading with swimming pools or hot tubs not only
provides for a relaxing private oasis without having to pay
astronomical prices to reach your destination, but it is
also a smart investment,” says Bill Weber, president and
CEO of the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals
(APSP). “Due to the state of the economy, many
homeowners are opting to stay in their homes, and are
making improvements to enhance the space they live in
and enrich their family life. These are considered longterm
investments, as opposed to a vacation that comes and goes.”
Although economic uncertainty and high driving costs may curtail that originally planned road
trip, there is no reason to melt away the idea of enjoying a summer of fun. Now is the time to
make an intelligent investment and create a summer vacation without leaving your own
home.
