How much room do installers need to get your hot tub into your yard?

Installation of your new hot tub requires a completely unobstructed route to ensure that the unit does not incur any damage along the way. Double check all gates and entrance-ways to ensure sufficient clearance. Determine ahead of time the route that the installer should take when your Jacuzzi Hot Tub arrives. Keep an eye out for objects that might hinder the delivery team in any way, and remove those obstacles in advance of the installer’s arrival. Also inspect your yard for any overhanging branches, rain gutters, or protruding electrical or gas meters that might impede the installation process. Are there more than 6 consecutive stairs without a landing in your delivery route? If so, you must consult our Moving coordinator prior to delivery to make adequate preparations.

Hot Tub- Site Selection and Preparation

You probably have a spot picked out for your Hot Tub, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following:

Always put your hot tub on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.

Don’t forget to level your hot tub before filling it.

Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel (230 volt models), or to the interrupter 
switch on the end of the power cord (115 volt models).

Never let water get into the subpanel (230 volt models), into the interrupter switch (115 volt models), or leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.

Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic hot tub care and maintenance.

Hot Tub Pre-Delivery Set Up

When planning your hot tub location keep these tips in mind:


Water should always drain away from the spa. DO NOT locate your spa in a low run-off area since melting snow or rain could flood the area and cause pump and equipment damage


Allow a minimum of 3’ (1m) access around the base of the spa in case your spa requires servicing


Do not locate your spa underneath any overhanging wires and keep it clear of any electrical appliances


Try to position your hot tub away from any overhanging trees as small debris (such as pine needles) can become lodged inside the jets, causing damage to the equipment


Be sure to have a proper base created before delivery. Your hot tub must be placed on a flat, level surface and every part of the spa base must be in contact with the surface.


Solid concrete, Patio stones, concrete slabs, and well supported decks should be sufficient to support for your hot tub.


Hot Tub Deliveries requiring a crane

If access is difficult, a crane may be required. Cranes are not as expensive as you might think and provide an easy solution for getting spas and swim spas past or into tight spots.


A swim spa will almost always require a crane.


Most crane companies will always visit your property to assess any potential access problems and to ensure that the intended site is within safe reach. If you do not have a crane company selected, Spa Movers Inc can make some recommendations.


The Hot Tub Cover

Covers fold in half but not all spas are square, so some covers can only fit and fold one way. Consider how you will fold and remove the cover. Can you fold the cover in half, or will there be a low overhead obstruction? Is there sufficient space to put the cover away when you take it off? Consider a cover lifter, as this will make the cover easy to remove by one person and extend its lifespan.



Hot Tub Privacy

Think about the positioning of the hot tub for all seasons. What might be a very private area during the summer could be very exposed when the trees are bare in the winter.

Plan your Hot Tub route

Check the width of gates, Doors, steps and sidewalks to make sure your hot tub will pass through unobstructed.

You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence to allow for adequate width clearance.


If the route will require a 90° turn, check the measurements at the turn to ensure the hot tub will fit.


Are there protruding gas meters, water meters or A/C units on your home which will be an obstruction along the path to your yard?


Are there low roof eaves, overhanging branches or rain gutters that could be an obstruction to overhead clearance?


Are there more than six (6) consecutive stairs without a landing in your route?


Frequently Asked Hot Tub Questions

Commonly asked questions and answers

  • Do I need a building permit?

    Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. Check with your county or city to see if a building permit is required for hot tub installation.

  • Do I need a fence or a gate around my hot tub?

    Some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a hot tub by children under five years of age. Consult your local or county building codes to determine the need for a fence or gate.

  • Do I need a Plumber?

    No plumbing is required; your hot tub is entirely self-contained. Fill it using a garden hose; to empty, siphon with garden hose or submersible pump.

  • Do I need an Electrician?

    Yes, you will need to hire an electrician to install the 240 volt 50 AMP neutrally protected GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) which is sold separately. Your main breaker box will also need to have a 50 AMP breaker. Your hot tub is hard-wired through the floor or side wall of the cabinet, directly into its control pack. The GFCI is installed next to the hot tub on an exterior wall at least 5 feet from the spa water. (Exception: The Model 100 and Model 175 come with a 15' GFCI protected cord and plug into any 120 V / 15 AMP wall outlet.)

  • Is it OK to transport a hot tub on its side?

    You often need to turn the hot tub on its side to maneuver it through tight spaces and to place it on the trailer for transport. Doing so is perfectly safe if you are careful and take necessary precautions before and during the move.

  • Are hot tubs heavy?

    The typical weight of a Small-sized hot tub is around 400 – 600 pounds. Medium-sized Spas can weigh from 600 - 855 pounds, while large ones can weigh 900 pounds and up.

  • Can you put a hot tub on grass?

    Outdoor hot tub placement, such as decks, concrete or brick patios, is common. However, the hot tub can be placed on any solid, uniform, level surface. Do not place your hot tub on grass or bare ground.

  • Can you get a hot tub through a door?

    While a sunroom or garage are usually easy to fit a hot tub through the door, other areas may be more difficult. ... If you are in the construction phase of your home, installing french doors are a perfect way to allow plenty of room to get your hot tub to its desired location.
