Planning the Best Location
for Your Spa Wrap
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers
such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property
to prevent unsupervised access to the property by
children under the age of five. Your dealer can provide
information on which permits may be required and
how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your
equipment.
The following are some of the things that you will
need to consider when determining the placement of
your new spa wrap.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
Wrap
How you intend to use your spa wrap will help you
determine where you should position it. For example,
will you use your spa wrap for recreational purposes?
If your spa wrap is mainly used for family functions, be
sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your spa wraps surroundings
during all seasons to determine your best privacy
options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well,
when you plan the location of your spa wrap.
Provide A View With Your Spa Wrap
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting
in your spa wrap. Do you have a special landscaped
area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps
there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during
the day and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider
these things when you plan your location.
Preparing a Good Foundation
Your spa wrap needs a solid and level foundation. The
area that it sits on must be able to support the weight
of the spa wrap and the occupants who use it. If the
foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after
the spa wrap is in place, causing stress that could
DAMAGE YOUR SPA WRAP.
Place the spa wrap on an elevated foundation
(preferably a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the
concrete slab is at least 12” wider than the outside
dimension on the spa wrap.
If you are installing a spa on an elevated wood
•
deck or other structure, we strongly recommend
that you consult a structural engineer or contractor
to ensure the structure will support the weight of
150 Lbs./ sq. ft.
It is strongly recommended that a qualified,
•
licensed contractor prepare the foundation for
your spa.

NOTE: For all spa wraps, regardless of model, it is
recommended that the foundation extend beyond
the dimension of the spa wrap. For example, if the
spa wrap you purchased is 12’x12’, you will want
your foundation to be 14’x14’. The reason for this is
because it will be easier to maintain the area around
the spa wrap (mowing the lawn, edging, etc.) without
damaging or scarring the spa wrap. Also, in doing this,
you will eliminate any potential problems, foundation-
wise, in the future.
