Creating the perfect foundation for your hot tub
A hot tub must be placed on a solid level surface, which is capable to support the weight of the hot tub, the water in it and those who use it. We don’t recommend placing your hot tub on grass or bare ground and suggest looking for a qualified contractor to help you create a suitable foundation for your hot tub.
Concrete
A poured slab of concrete or concrete patio offers the most popular and low maintenance solution, one thing to consider is that concrete doesn’t offer the best drainage solution
Gravel
A gravel base can be a quick and cost-effective way to prepare a base for your hot tub. This type of base offers great drainage, but can be quite tough under foot.
Paving Stones
Paving stones are a cost-effective solution for your hot tub base and with a huge variety of sizes, shapes and finishes available it’s easy to create a base that suits your taste and garden.
Hot Tub Pad
Made of high density plastic, a hot tub pad offers a quick and easy alternative to other solutions. A hot tub pad is also lightweight and portable so can be easily removed if necessary.
Decking
Decking is a popular choice for using as a base for a hot tub and can be tailored to suit your garden. However, it is of utmost importance to consult with a qualified professional to ensure that your decking can support the weight of your hot tub.
