In this article, we look hot tub installation and how to go about starting.

Pick Your Foundation

Your very first step is picking the appropriate place in your backyard for your hot tub.

Before your hot tub arrives, you must choose the proper foundation. Let’s look at your choices:

  • Concrete – this is one of the most common choices because usually it already exists in your backyard. Concrete is long-lasting and can handle the weight of a hot tub. You do want to make sure that your concrete surface is level and in good condition. If not, you can always have one poured.
  • Deck – this is another good place for your hot tub. You do want to have it inspected before you install your hot tub to make sure it’s sturdy, has the proper supports and is level.
  • Spa pad – you’ll find prefabricated pads are a simple, good-looking solution. You put the pad on your grass, lay out the pad, and you’re ready for the hot tub.
