Getting the Spa Into Your Yard
Check the Dimensions of Your New Spa
Plan the Delivery Route
Special Circumstances
The specication chart on page 9 lists your spa’s model and its dimension as it sits on the delivery cart. During
delivery, the spa must remain on the delivery cart at all times. Compare the dimensions to the width of the gates,
sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery route. It may be necessary for you to remove a gate or partially
remove a fence in order to provide an unobstructed passageway to the installation location.
Consider the following when planning your delivery
route:
Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks to •
make sure your spa will pass through unobstructed.
You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence
to allow for adequate width clearance.
Are there low roof eaves, overhanging branches •
or rain gutters that could be an obstruction to
overhead clearance?
8’ spas need at least 42” wide gate and 9’ height •
clearance.
If the delivery route will require a 90º turn, check
•
the measurements at the turn to ensure the spa
will t.
Are there protruding gas meters, water meters •
or A/C units on your home which will cause
obstructions along the delivery path to your
yard?
Are there stairs in your delivery route? If so, you •
must consult your spa dealer prior to delivery to
make adequate preparations.
The use of a crane for delivery and installation may become necessary if you are unable to provide an adequate
delivery route. It is used primarily to avoid injury to your spa, your property or to delivery personnel. Your spa
dealer may be able to assist you with the arrangements. If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, the
cost of a crane is generally not included in the standard delivery service.
