RebeccaM Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thinking of putting the hot tub where the red square is, removing all the railings, adding stairs from the deck where the red lines are. That whole area of shrubs and mulch, would be cleared and patio would go there. Thoughts on placement? (The window above goes to our dining room, which we almost never use so that’s not an issue).

RDspaguy Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Are you planning to enter from the deck or down on the patio? Are you pouring a pad or concrete patio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaM Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 The plan would be paver patio and the stairs into the tub would at the patio level, for people to enter from the patio but you could also also enter from the deck (I have 3 teenagers that will probably enter that way).

CanadianSpaTech Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Make sure to leave extra electrical wire in the spa so that if you ever have to slide the spa away from the deck for repair there is enough wire to move it without disconnecting it. Make the pad large enough so you can walk all the way around the spa and not be in the mud/garden. If the cover will open towards the window leave about 18" for the cover to open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 And dig out that garden soil and put in a good gravel base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaM Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thank you! Yes, the entire garden area would be redone professionally with a stone perimeter walkway and gravel base. We do plan to keep clearance for access. And excellent point about clearance for lifter/cover. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
