Houston Suburbs First Time Pool Build - Spa seating question

[TxBeachLover]

Hello! We finally signed our contract a few days ago. I’ve been lurking but am ready to ask the first of probably many questions. Our pool will be gunite 16.5 x40 saltwater, sun shelf + spa.

For those with spas with different seating heights, can you please post a picture of how your builder designed them? We will have a 7x7 square spa, and I am short (5’2 on a good day) and husband is average height. Is it bench seating with one bench lower than the other or alternate seating? Trying to get some ideas.

Thanks y’all!

We have a bench on all four sides...two sides are lower and two sides are higher. So it goes, lower, lower, higher, higher. Hope that helps!

Yes very helpful. How deep are the benches? Water height?

The benches go 24 inches from the "deep" bench to the waterline tile and 22 inches for the "shorter" bench to the water line tile. Hope that helps! The plaster is not in, so I may lose an inch for the depth.
