A customer installed a brand new hot tub two summers ago and had used it only once, due in part to difficulty getting in and out.
She had the steps that came with the tub, but no handrails. I asked if I should build something sturdier, and she replied, “post-haste.”
Here is the result:
I used pressure-treated hem/fir lumber and then coated that with 3 coats of spar varnish. Normally I wouldn’t use varnish over fresh PT, but this customer had some success in the past on other small pieces, so we’ll see how this one does. (It’s a preference for look over functionality)
