Tub White

Hot Tub Covers We'd Like To See

Can someone please explain the reason why so many hot tub cover manufacturers plaster their logos all over the covers they sell? Do they think that's what their customers want in their backyards? Let's consider the options:

- Huge corporate logo amongst the flowers and patio stones.

- A blank field of nothingness (once we remove the logo, of course).

- Something else.

But what else? Well, with a blank canvas just sitting there waiting for us to imprint on it our imaginations, just about anything goes. Here are a few possible fantasy hot tub cover ideas.

A polar bear. This is the ideal design for Canada, in fact. The polar bear is a symbol of strength, able to rip human flesh from the bone in just a few seconds flat, one of the strongest animals in the world. And the polar bear is a symbol of Canada's frigid Arctic weather. What hardy Canadian doesn't fancy himself the very image of strength and endurance in the face of a cold Canadian winter's deep freeze? Especially while relaxing in the comfort of a backyard hot tub?

An optical illusion could be fun and make a great April Fools joke. Try this - print an image of the inside of your hot tub right 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 (could be tricky, as there would not be movement). Or just calm water. Good clean harmless fun.

For the hard-core gamers, your favourite video game character icons could grace your hot tub cover. Even if you know better than to bring electrical devices into your hot tub, you surely don't want to leave them behind. Poor Lara. She might get lonely. Poor Mario. He might get into trouble. They will be much better off printed on your hot tub cover. If your hot tub is round, you might as well make it Pacman. He'll fit just perfectly. You can check out to see which one fits your hot tub.

Chocolates. Pictures of chocolate in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of decorations. Brown chocolate. Black chocolate. White chocolate. Even green chocolate (minty!) Chocolate with nuts and jam and liqueurs. And the best part? These chocolates won't melt in the sun.

And for some reason, 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.

If your hot tub cover is a blank canvas, just waiting for a creative paint brush, why not call on the experts? ? There are many famous painters to choose from - the Italian Renaissance, French impressionists, Dutch masters, or even Canada's Group of Seven. Just stay away from American Gothic (pointy pitch fork - might poke a hole in your spa cover). Why not choose art by a famous Canadian painter? There are so many to choose from:

Tom Thompson (the "leader of the Group of Seven)

Emily Carr (famous for depictions of totem poles and native villages in BC)

Lawren Harris (Group of Seven luminary, with two distinct careers)

A.J. Casson (Group of Seven)

E.J Hughes (BC's high realism landscape painter)

Cornelius Krieghoff (For something a little more traditional, like eggnog)

... just to name a few great Canadian artists.

A flower garden. This is one of the brightest ideas yet, because a flower garden image can blend in so well with your flower garden. 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. Or even on your planet.

Finally, there is 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 feel special?

Those are just a few of our fantasy hot tub cover ideas we offer for your consideration. These are not available right now on the market, but we thought it would be a fun process to let our imaginations roam wild and give you the chance to envisage what you would like your backyard to look like. And what would fit just right with both your roses and your personality.

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 fantasy hot tub cover would look like.

Can someone tell me why so many hot tub cover manufacturers plaster their logos all over the covers they sell? Do they think that's what their customers want in their backyards? Let's consider the options:

- Huge corporate logo amongst the flowers and patio stones.

- A blank field of nothingness (once we remove the logo, of course).

- Something else.

But what else? Well, with a blank canvas just sitting there waiting for us to imprint on it our imaginations, just about anything goes. Here are a few possible fantasy hot tub cover ideas.

Here's an easy one to start with, ideal for the do-it-yourselfer - graffiti! For that much sought-after "post urban decay look". The great thing about this is that it costs so little, because anyone - even you - can do it right at home. You know those teenagers down the street who keep giving you dirty looks? They'll even do it for free. While they're at it, they'll even do your garage door, too. And your car. And your welcome mat. And your French poodle.

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 to see which one fits your hot tub.

A flower garden print. 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. In fact, there are some definite advantages to printing flower images on your hot tub cover:

1. You can have a seamless flower garden, where the hot tub blends in harmoniously without disturbing the natural flow of the garden.

2. You can "grow" species that would not normally survive in your climate...especially in the harsh climate of Canada.

3. It's very colourful.

4. It makes great camouflage. "Hot tub? What hot tub? I don't see any hot tub - do you see a hot tub?"

A black hole. OK, so we cheated here. A black hole is basically just black. There really is no work or effort involved. You just order a black hot tub cover and tell everyone it's a black hole. See, you can be creative and lazy at the same time.

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?

Why not make the art you print on your hot tub cover from art. You could print one of the world's two most famous paintings - the Mona Lisa and the Sistine Chapel. Imagine how shocked your friends will be when they discover you got culture.

Finally, 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.

Those are just a few of our fantasy hot tub cover ideas we offer for your consideration. These are not available right now on the market, but we thought it would be a fun process to let our imaginations roam wild and give you the chance to envisage what you would like your backyard to look like.
