A deck with a hot tub needs a decking material that can
withstand a lot of splashing. For the safety of your guests,
consider a product that is slip-resistant as well.
Hot tubs also require additional structural support and
surrounding space. Even on a small deck, there must
be enough room around the hot tub for the cover lift to
function and air to circulate. On a larger deck, you’ll
need to consider trafc ow around the hot tub.
You’ll also need a nearby electrical source to power
your spa, and a licensed electrical contractor to do the
work. Ensure all necessary electrical work is completed
correctly, including permits, an emergency shut-off option,
a ground-fault circuit interrupter, etc.
Finally, and most important, always use a locking cover
with your hot tub and NEVER leave children unsupervised
on your deck—even if the hot tub is covered.
