Considering a tub for the rare use. I realize that a bathtub is not sustainable and is a water waster, but on the rare occasion, a gal needs a soak. Maybe that's what hotel rooms are for...
This, the budget buster at $1,200 for the tub only, no hardware or fixtures... (Really?)

This, a bigger-than-it-looks "farm and ranch supply store" stock tank with a built-in drain and seriously budget-friendly $150 in several color choices, and could be flush mounted inside a nice tub deck...
Or this, the old standby for $129, suitable for exterior custom painting...Or the dream tub on a lottery-winner's budget?

Nick already has you beat on # 3. He likes it real well.
Oh yeah # 2 looks like a good choice to.
Tffnguy, hey ya, that Nick has thought of it all. I like the stock tank thing.
Oh, and I added a wooden tub option, too.
They all look like water guzzlers, but guess that it's sometimes necessary to have a good deep tub of water in winter.
Dreams are good, they give one hope... :-)
When I was little we had a claw foot tub and I have loved them ever since. I like the first one...but 1,200? they can keep it.Good luck. Blessings, Joanne
I've got one very similar to the high-dollar one at the top, but needs refinishing and the cast iron base support is cracked on one side....for only $200. Located 60 miles south of Alpine. Drain is on one end...not the middle.
I hauled it down from FTW a couple of years ago, but not using it.

Sometimes a good, hot soak is essential especially in winter. I like #3 and would decorate the exterior.
Not sustainable? The water can be used for several things after you've soaked, especially if you don't put a bunch of creepy, stinky chemical crap in it. I know someone who bathes once a week in catchment water, and then leaves the water in the tub, dips into it for watering plants and animals, and then for hand and dish washing throughout the week. Sounds sustainable to me.
You have a point, Anon. Especially if you wash off before getting into the bath like the Japanese. YOu could wash your clothes after a soak and water plants.
Nuttin wrong with the stock tank, it's what I was baptized in last year. :)
