hot tub placement - HomeModders.com

I've pretty much made up my mind that i'm getting a hottub/spa in the spring.

Where should i put it?

i was thinking next to the lower slider (which is my tv room)

Yeah... Maybe do it off of the patio so its not directly blocking the door though...

Also remember to put it where there is privacy... Just in case ya know...

I would say build a small deck/gazebo over that rock in the yard, and place the hot-tub on that.

Only problem with putting it far in the yard is when you want to get to it in the winter, you have to make sure you shovel your way all the way out there...

yeah, i don't want it that far out.

i'm thinking about putting my fire pit on that rock.

Directly off the deck (take down some of that railing) right by the stairs.

Only shovelling you have to do is from the door and onto the deck.

+1 on removing some railing and building a Gazebo attached to the deck.. that way you can just step into the spa instead of climbing into it.. maybe get some pulldown shades around it..

My first thought was near the lower sliding door. But after reading others comments. I like the idea of removing some railing and building a Gazebo attached to the deck
