Not every guy has one, but most covet it. Folks, we\u2019re talking about the proverbial man cave! It\u2019s a place where guys can be guys. Lounge in your favorite chair, watch sports, and do all things manly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why settle for a dark and dingy basement when you can create the ultimate man cave in your backyard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of National Men\u2019s Health Month, we thought we\u2019d share some ideas about how a hot tub can serve be the catalyst for creating an outdoor man cave where you can relax after a long day and entertain friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning: You\u2019ll probably have to share with the family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hot tub to fit your lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all hot tubs are created equal. In fact, there are some hot tubs on the market that promise a lot, but don\u2019t quite deliver. With a Master Spas hot tub<\/a>, you can rest assured that you\u2019ve bought a superior hot tub designed to give you the full relaxation experience with minimal maintenance. With features such as EcoPur\u00ae Charge filtration, peaceful waterfalls, built-in Bluetooth\u00ae speakers and, LED lights, you can channel your inner zen while relieving sore or fatigued muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the chance that you\u2019re in a sharing mood, a hot tub also creates a place where you and your significant other can connect and have real quality time. As most people aren\u2019t bringing their mobile devices near water for fear of it being irreversibly damaged, everyone can disconnect and unwind at the end of a long day. Studies<\/a> also show that soaking in a hot tub before bedtime can help you sleep better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"outdoor<\/a>
Give yourself spa-side seats to the big game. Complete your outdoor man cave with a TV next to your hot tub or swim spa by Master Spas as part of your man cave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Entertain in comfort and style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basketball finals? Yes, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If having a comfortable space to watch the big game is a priority, add an outdoor TV to your outdoor man cave plans. An alternative is connecting an \u00a0iPad using our waterproof case and mount. Hot tubs with built-in cup holders are convenient, keeping drinks within arm\u2019s reach and minimizing the risk of spills, which is key in keeping your water crystal clear. Likely, one of the reasons you\u2019ve either bought, or are considering buying, a hot tub is to entertain. Be certain to consider options that will allow you to get the most out of your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor man cave ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your goal is to create the ultimate outdoor man cave, right? Consider some of these ideas that will make your back yard the envy of your neighborhood. Incorporating a gazebo will keep your hot tub covered so that it can be enjoyed in any kind of weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most everyone loves to barbecue. An outdoor cooking space complete with stone masonry and a refrigerator (perfect for stocking your favorite drinks) will maximize your time outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, let\u2019s be real visionaries here. Imagine converting your shed into an outdoor bar \u2014 complete with bar stools, taps, and plumbing. Building a fire pit close by adds even more ambiance and warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build upon your hot tub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purchasing a hot tub opens a world of possibilities. From choosing its placement, to designing the surrounding landscaping and d\u00e9cor, the creative options are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider your hot tub installation options: above ground or recessed,  surrounded by a deck or encased in stonework. You can also frame your hot tub with Vegas-style cabana curtains or create an outdoor seating area, complete with comfy pillows, to surround the hot tub. If you enjoy gardening, building planter beds around the perimeter of your hot tub can add beauty, as well as create privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More hot tub ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By implementing a few simple additions to your hot tub landscape, you can transform your backyard from a place where you mow the lawn into the outdoor man cave you’ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
