Installation and Setup
CAUTION: Consult a qualied Structural Engineer or
Contractor before the spa is placed on an elevated structure
or deck.
Elevated Installations: Be certain your deck or elevated
structure can support the maximum lled weight of your spa
along with the total weight of occupants that use it. You must
know the deck’s weight-bearing load capacity and ensure
that it is greater than the maximum lled weight of your spa
combined with the occupants using it or serious injury or
structural damage could result. To nd the weight bearing
load requirement along with the maximum lled weight of
your spa, refer to the Spa Technical Specications Chart or
contact an authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
Design Considerations
Hard-Surface Options (Decking and Flooring): In addition to
selecting a hard surface that meets the recommended safety
and maintenance criteria, consider textures and colors that
will assist in enhancing the aesthetics of the area in which
your spa will be installed. The decision to match, contrast,
or blend the hard surface colors and textures with those of
your spa should only be made after carefully researching
your options. The cost of a Landscape Architect may be
money well spent.
Surrounding Landscape: The correct landscape around
your spa will not only soften the adjacent hard surface areas,
but will add life and much enjoyment to the environment. If
the budget allows, you may want to consult with a
Landscape Architect for expert advice.
Spa-Side Accessories: Besides selecting the correct hard
surfaces and landscape around your spa, the addition of
the proper spa-side accessories will provide just the nishing
touch that you are looking for. Spa steps, benches, towel racks,
planter boxes, or an outdoor replace are just a few of the
items that can be considered when accessorizing your spa.
