CAUTION:
Consult a qualified structural engineer or
contractor before the spa is placed on an elevated structure or
deck.
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 finishing touch
that you are looking for. Spa steps, benches, towel racks, planter
oxes, or an outdoor fireplace are just a few of the items that can be
considered when accessorizing your spa.
Delivery Basics
To prepare for the delivery of your spa, make sure the delivery
path is clear and no obstructions are present.
Occasionally a crane is required to install the spa by lifting it to
its final destination. The crane operator will lift your spa over
walls, buildings, or any other obstruction and place it as close to
the installation site as possible.
Depending on access to the spa site, your spa may be dollied in
either horizontal or vertical position. For your convenience, the
following charts provide the dimensions of your spa in either the
horizontal or vertical position.
WARNING:
An empty spa (spa without water in it) must not
be left exposed to sunlight as shell damage may occur. Once the
spa is unwrapped, fill spa with water immediately or shade the spa
with cover or wrapping to prevent direct exposure to sunlight.
WARNING:
Watch for power lines.

Obstacles such as overhanging tree
limbs, awnings, protruding gas meters,
water meters, and A/C units can
prevent easy access.
It may be necessary to remove a
gate, part of a fence, or other
items in order to dolly the spa to
the desired location.
If there are more than six
consecutive stairs without
a landing then you may be
required to find another
delivery path.
Check the measurements on 90 turns
to make sure the spa will fit through.
WARNING:
Watch for power lines.
