The idea came at the start of quarantine: buy an inflatable SPA but do something nice around it and protect it (against cat claws for example!).
I therefore share my creation with you, an elevated 11 m² terrace, which includes an inflatable 4-seater SPA, 1.8 m in diameter. A hatch allows access to the SPA control (pump, heating, bubbles, etc.)
A sliding cover covers it when not in use, it is motorized thanks to a gate motor, it can be controlled from a smartphone or by voice command with Alexa, just like the 4 spots along the wall.
