Imagine Your Fantasy Hot Tub Cover

by Jill on July 30, 2010

We are always looking for unique and creative items to share with you, so when we saw that this hot tub covers website advertised hot tub covers with no ads on them, we got inspired. If not ads, what then? Well, with a blank canvas like that, just about anything goes. So we let our fantasies roam wild, and look what fantasy hot tub cover ideas we came up with.

An optical illusion would be great. How about printing the inside of a hot tub on the cover, so that when you look at the hot tub…you don’t even see the cover? The image could show the tub empty. Or it could show bubbles or steam. Or just calm water. Ideal for April Fools or other pranks (especially if you make your guests remove their glasses BEFORE they pass through the patio doors).

The polar bear would be the ideal hot tub cover design for Canada. Symbol of strength, of endurance, of Canada’s icy Arctic climate. Every Canadian fancies himself to be a polar bear – strong and enduring, even in the face of the coldest winter day, armed only with….the warm bubbles of a backyard hot tub. It’s a tough life, but somebody’s got to live it.

This next idea is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer in you – graffiti! In just minutes, you can admire that much sought-after “post urban decay” look. Graffiti is costs very little because you don’t need to hire anybody or outsource the job. All you need is some spray paint, perhaps three or four colours, and a few beers. Before you know it, your hot tub cover will be a colourful display of your inner urban ghetto spirit. If the beer has run out before the paint, you might decide to create a matching design on your car.

Super Mario or Lara Croft. Yes, everybody’s favourite video game heroes could come to life right on your hot tub cover. This is the ideal design for gamers and geeks who know better than to bring electrical devices into their hot tubs with them, yet don’t ever want to be parted from their idols. Pacman anyone? If your hot tub is round, you might as well make it Pacman. He’ll fit just perfectly. You can check out the various colours and shapes of hot tub covers to see which one fits your hot tub.

At this point, we must add pink flamingos. Not because we think they are particularly special or creative, but because there are always pink flamingo people in every crowd, and we would not want to disappoint them.

Poseidon. Ruler of the water. Put his logo on your hot tub cover to make your spa his seat of power in your world. You might never own a palace. You might never rule an empire, but you have Poseidon’s thrown for a spa. Doesn’t that make you special?

A flower garden. This is one of the best ideas, because it can blend in so well with the rest of your landscaping that you have worked so hard to maintain. Your hot tub cover can blend in harmoniously with your “natural habitat” It’s sort of like camouflage. Plus, you can grow amazing species that won’t normally survive in your climate. In fact, you can invent all new species (Think “Avatar”).

Why not make the art you print on your hot tub cover from art? There are many famous paintings to choose from – French impressionists, Dutch masters, or even Canada’s Group of Seven.

Those are just a few of our fantasy hot tub cover ideas. But first you’ll need a hot tub, and then you will need to build your own hot tub cover. But isn’t it worth getting a hot tub and a cover just to create such marvellous works of art in your backyard? In fact, why not get a couple hot tubs. Or even three? Why not half a dozen? You might become world famous for The International Hot Tub Cover Art Gallery.

But we’ve only shared a few ideas with you. I am sure you can come up with some fascinating ideas of your own. Please share them with us. We are eager to hear what your fantast hot tub cover would look like.
