When Tub Tanks first launched, we also offered landscaping services through our sister company, Gardenology. During a garden redesign project, a client pointed out an underutilised area in their garden and asked for ideas to bring it to life.
We suggested installing a Tub Tanks tank pool with a wood burner. With a young child and another on the way, the parents saw it as a fun, value for money solution for the whole family.
During the day, the tank pool serves as a heated pool area for the children (and adults)! Once the children are finished playing, the parents put the lid back on, stoke the fire, and transform it into a relaxing hot tub to unwind after a busy day once the children are tucked up in bed.
Adapting to Life's Changes: Cold Water Therapy
After their second child arrived, Mum struggled with the return to work on limited sleep. Seeking a natural boost, she decided to try cold water therapy in the unheated tank pool early in the morning.
While the initial adjustment took perseverance, she was hooked within two weeks: "It was like having ten cups of coffee. I felt instantly awake, energised, and ready to seize the day."
The family loved the daily routine so much that they contacted us again and bought a dedicated ice bath.
Four Years Later: The Full Wellness Oasis
Four years on, the family returned to us with a new vision: adding an outdoor sauna. With two growing children, making time out rare and with costs of spa days and treatments ever increasing, they wanted to build a complete wellness zone at home.
To overcome a steep slope behind the tank pool, we recommended building custom decking to reclaim the sloping ground and added steps so they can still access the lower part of their garden. They then placed the sauna on the new decking and relocated the ice bath right beside it.
Today, the parents enjoys daily ice baths, the children continue to love the tank pool, and the parents have a dedicated haven for contrast therapy and relaxation.
"Having this in our garden has made an incredible difference. It helps us unwind after busy weeks juggling work and parenting. We turned completely dead space in the garden into a beautiful sanctuary. It’s our little oasis of peace."
