If you’re skipping cross-border vacations this summer, you’re not alone. A new survey from Statistics Canada shows that overnight trips to the United States dropped a historic 35 percent in May from the same time last year.
While it’s bad news for our southern neighbours, Craig Davis, owner of Barrie LeisureScapes says this is a great opportunity to reallocate our dollars: creating a relaxing staycation in our backyards.
For years, Barrie LeisureScapes has been the region’s premier destination for top-quality Canadian-made hot tub brands like Maple Spas, which are made in an 8,000-square-foot plant in Lachute, Quebec.
These four- to seven-seat hot tubs are luxuriously designed with up to 63 jets and top-of-the-line massage seats and loungers for head-to-toe relaxation for the whole family.
Crafted from premium Canadian treated Class 4 wood, Maple Spas are exceptionally durable, resistant to pests and moisture and naturally sound-dampening for a quieter experience.
They have superior insulation, with high-density polyurethane foam panels with two thermo-reflective layers providing superior heat retention. Robust construction, tailored to minimize energy consumption and prevent damage from freezing, lowers operating costs and prolongs the lifespan of the hot tub.
“They are engineered to withstand Canada’s often harsh climate, particularly Ontario’s cold winters,” Craig says.
In addition to offering Canadian-made tubs with the latest technology, Barrie LeisureScapes has carved a niche in the market by looking beyond hot tubs as a product.
“We don’t just sell and ship your tub,” states Craig. “We handle everything from infrastructure to installation and ongoing maintenance.”
Craig’s team goes beyond providing the standard insulated cover, cover lifter, and steps. They collaborate with clients to design the ideal hot tub pad, utilizing compacted gravel or cement, and construct surrounding decks for easy and safe enjoyment.
“For every $1,000 spent on our infrastructure, we discount $100 from the cost of your hot tub,” says Craig. “We won’t just sell you a hot tub. We’re here to give you the backyard oasis you’ve been dreaming of, with a steady base and deck that sits flush for easy access.”
Regardless of how ready your backyard is for a hot tub, you can start your journey at Barrie LeisureScapes showroom.
“Let us help you imagine your ideal escape, steps away from your back door.”
