Garden tubs are larger soaking tubs found in bathrooms. They’re usually deeper and wider than a regular bathtub and look more like a hot tub.
1. Garden tubs are larger than normal tubs
Garden tubs are larger than normal tubs, being both deeper and wider, and are usually shaped like an oval. Since they’re bigger, they hold more water, which means they take longer to fill up and require more hot water. It could get expensive if you’re filling your garden tub often.
2. There’s no shower-bath combination in a garden tub
Most garden tubs are free-standing and don’t have a showerhead in them, like a typical shower-tub combination. If there’s a garden tub in a bathroom, there’s usually a separate, free-standing shower in the bathroom, as well.
3. Garden tubs are perfect for relaxing
Garden tubs are large and perfect for relaxing and soaking your whole body. They’re often seen as luxurious, so not every bathroom will have one — you’re lucky if you do.
Nice, but not necessary
While garden tubs are large and not the greatest for everyday use, they’re perfect for those times when you just need to relax and take a little break. And if you have pets, they’re also great for bathing them, especially if you have a large dog that makes a mess in a tiny bathtub. Garden tubs aren’t necessary for everyone, but they sure are nice!
