Edge of Deck Installations

Edge of deck installations are among the most popular hot tub installation methods in the world. Most people plan to add a deck to their garden at some point, and a hot tub often gives them a great reason to do it. When you’re looking for the beauty of a raised deck installation with the service access of a stand-alone installation, an edge of deck hot tub is an excellent choice. An added benefit is that this installation style also provides exceptional access for lifter installations.

Inground Installations

If you’re considering an inground installation for your hot tub, it’s important to remember that although this installation type can have huge payoffs in terms of aesthetics and functionality, it is one of the most difficult installation options. First, look at pictures of inground installations and determine whether the time and effort will be worth it. Make sure you plan in advance by ensuring that the hot tub will be serviceable on all sides. Also consider the possibility of ground water seepage. Because your hot tub will be the lowest point in your garden, it’s crucial that the pit can withstand the water flow. Finally, make sure the pit is secure to protect it from any unwanted rodents or pests that may want to build a home. However inground installations are very popular for installations within the home.
