One thing we all need are a good set of hot tub steps. You buy your hot tub, you bring it home, you install it and you’re all ready to use it and then you realize one very important step that you forgot to take into account (no pun intended)… steps. Let’s face it, many hot tubs are just freaking big and they’re hard to get into without the right steps.
Sure you can rig something up and maybe stick a box in front of it or step up on your toilet or some other chair and try to jump into your hot tub precariously but that’s not safe at all! Let’s face it, we’re dealing with slippery wet surfaces here so rigging something up becomes incredibly unsafe not just for you but for any guests that may be enjoying your hot tub, or for your children or other family members. So I thought I’d build a little page today to help you find the very best steps for your specific hot tub at the right prices because you’ve already spent enough on the tub!
Confer Plastics Handi-Step Resin Spa Step – Redwood HS2-R at around $62 this is just about as cheap as you can find when it comes to quality steps. These come in a beautiful redwood color and are approximately 14 inches high by 29 inches wide by 23 inches deep. They should work on just about every round or straight sided Spa on the market today and they are made out of durable all resin construction and include anti-slip footpads which is incredibly important.
QCA Spas Plastic Steps – HSC at $90 these are slightly more expensive but may be a smidge more sturdy. Created with a sort of durable dual platform design, these steps are both portable and lightweight. They should have no problem whatsoever holding somebody up to 300 pounds which may or may not be a consideration for you but is still a nice feature to have just in case.
Confer Plastics Leisure Accents Spa Storage Step now we’re starting to get into more expensive and durable steps and at $150 that description certainly fits the bill here. The face of these steps is Redwood and the rest of the body is a sort of light gray or off white color. The size is 14 inches high by 36 inches wide by 24 inches deep. These steps are made out of HDPE plastic resin which are both whether resistant and durable.
Two Step Curved Spa Hot Tub Steps at $200 we’ve now stepped into a range of more elegant and beautiful steps. The previous steps that I mentioned were all functional but I wouldn’t call any of them beautiful. At the same time these steps are very nice to look at because they are made out of full Redwood curved wood that are 14 inches high making them safer and easier for you to enter and exit your hot tub. The wood is very durable and attractive. The dimensions of these steps are 34 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 14 inches high and some assembly may very well be required but it shouldn’t be too much work.
So there you have several options when it comes to hot tub steps at various different price ranges. The main choice really is whether you want to go with cheaper steps that don’t look quite so nice or more expensive steps that are more decorative in design? Really that’s a question only you can answer but hopefully now you have the information you need to make the right choice.
