Where to Place Your Spa: Indoors or Out?
Where should you place your spa? While you may already have an option in mind, the most important thing to consider is a site inspection. With a site inspection by a qualified hot tub inspector you will be confident that, regardless of where the spa is placed, it is in a safe area.
If you have decided to place your spa indoors there are many things to consider. While this may seem like a very good option for colder climates, there are certain requirements that have to be met to have a spa installed indoors. The room the spa is installed in has to be inspected to make sure that the floor can support the weight of the hot tub. It is also preferable to place the spa in a room that has a drain in the floor. If the spa has a leak and water damages your floor and furniture, it is unlikely that insurance will cover such an occurrence. It is also highly unlikely that a warranty would cover such an issue. However, if all these requirements have been met, a spa can be customized to match the décor with in the room you wish to place it in.
If the hot tub is to be placed on a structure such as a deck, an inspection will be necessary to ensure that the structure can fully support the weight of the spa. The size of the spa and the placement in relation to the house is also a factor to consider. Would you rather over look your backyard or have your customized lounge seat facing a wall? Most customers choose to have their spa placed near a back door for easy access to their spa, especially during cold weather. If you choose to place your spa outdoors you lose the intimacy and privacy offered by having a spa indoors.
Overall, whether indoors or out, you can enjoy your spa year round. The most important advice we can offer is to get a site inspection before you purchase your spa to ensure that all will go smoothly once your spa is delivered. The less surprises involved with a major purchase, the better.
