The first part of any hot tub spa installation is planning. There are a tremendous variety of locations and configurations that can be used to incorporate a hot tub into your home or landscape. Whether indoors or out, a hot tub spa can bring immense enjoyment all year long. While an outdoor hot tub can cost a bit more to heat in winter, there's nothing quite like soaking in hot steaming water while snow is falling all around.
The first consideration in planning should be the location of the hot tub spa. We've learned that the closer it is to the house (or bedroom), the more frequently it will be used. Installations on existing decks are not uncommon, but be aware that most decks are not designed to support the weight of a filled hot tub spa unless it has been specifically designed to do so, or a concrete pad has been laid under the deck prior to fitting. |
