Installing a hot tub under a deck a good idea?

[Quentin C 0]

Hey Guys, I'm trying to decide where to put a hot tub in my backyard, I'd love to use the space under the deck, it's 10x11 deck, a spa would fit under. I see multiple benefits like more privacy, wind protection, I could waterproof the ceiling under the deck so I have some rain protection (I live in a rainy area).  I'm concerned about potential moisture, humidity issue? if I put the spa under the deck it means it's very close to the wall of the house, and I'm thinking maybe in means I will have constant vapours/humidity coming to the window above at deck level.  Anyone has installed their spa under deck? I would appreciate any feedback/advices. 

thank you

Many people put hot tubs under decks. There should be plenty of air circulating in that area to help with moisture build up.

 

On another forum I frequent there are several that have pictures of hot tubs under decks. None have complained about issues.

My 7" rectangular spa has been on my 8' patio for over 32 years, under the patio roof/cover.  Yes, unfortunately the side by the house itself is not accessible, but that's been the only negative.  Disclaimer: I'm in Phoenix AZ.

As long as you remember you need to be able to access the side panels all the way around if you ever need to make a repair. If you are using a cover lifter most require about 18" for clearance. Also make sure the deck is up high enough for the cover to open without issue.  Enjoy
