Pouring the In-Ground Spa Deck

It is recommended that all electrical hook ups and all plumbing be com-

pleted before pouring the concrete. Make certain all electrical inspections 

on lights, bonding and all other electrical work have been completed and 

checked off by the local inspectors prior to proceeding with your concrete 

or finish work. It is a good idea to run the spa for at least 24 hours before 

pouring  the  concrete  to  insure  there  are  no  leaks.  We  understand  you 

want to enjoy your spa now, but a 24-hour period with your spa running 

will let you know of any problems before they will be extremely hard to 

fix.

The  type  of  decking  you  have  selected  will  have  determined  the  grade 

of the spa. If you are pouring a regular deck up to the spas coping, then 

the top of the coping should be 4” above the surrounding area. In either 

event,  it  is  recommended  to  dig  out  an  area  around  the  spa  exposing 

the flange of the coping and just under it. This is important, as concrete 

should be packed under and over the flange of the spa, as the deck is 

poured. This will lock the spa into the concrete and provide for a much 

stronger bond of the spa to the deck. It will also eliminate cracking of the 

deck where it meets the spa. 
When setting your outside forms, remember you want any water from rain 

or splash out to run off the deck, not into the spa. If your deck is going to 

tie into an existing deck, than some type of drain system should be planned 

to handle the run off. Proper drainage planning is very important. 

An experienced concrete finisher should always be used when pouring spa 

decks, especially when you are doing a cantilevered deck, as the forms 

must be taken off at the proper time to allow finishing of the inside of the 

form.
