Siting your spa hot tub

The location of your spa or hot tub in your garden is vitally important. Things to consider include ground, trees and aesthetics. Let me explain: as the hot tub or spa will weigh a substantial amount when full of water (and people!) it is essential that the ground is able to accept the weight. A builder or your installer will be able to advise on this, but suffice to say you do not want to suddenly have your decking or ground collapse or subside when you are enjoying a relaxing soak in your prize hot tub! Furthermore, overhanging trees will pose a huge problem to you as falling leaves and falling insects will spoil your enjoyment of your new spa. Either cut down the offending trees or think about re-siting your spa. Aesthetics come into play when you think about the layout of your garden. Your new spa or hot tub will take up a fair amount of space so you need to think about the plan and how the eye flows down the garden from the house.
