Hi everyone, new to this forum. We are having a paver patio installed soon and want to have a hot tub as well. We were all set to have the hot tub along the back of the house on the side, and our installer called the county where we live and apparently you have to be so many feet away from glass to locate a hot tub? The location we had planned would have been outside of 3 different windows on our house.
The paver patio will be about 1,500 sf and is kind of rectangular directly behind our house and screened porch. We'll have a rather large gas fire pit, table and 6 chairs, and wanted two chaise lounges. Now I have to figure out where else we can locate a hot tub without it being directly in the middle of the yard. I thought that maybe we could put it where the two chaise lounges were (which would have been just off of the back steps), but am not sure.
If you have any thoughts I'd really appreciate it. Also - are there restrictions on how far away from your house you can be to still have electric wired to the tub? My kids and I will really be disappointed if we can't have a hot tub - help!
I appreciate your time.
