Setting the Mood
Choosing a site for your backyard spa is a personal decision based on your intended use and the existing features of your home and property. When choosing an outdoor location, consider that the closer to the home the spa is located, the easier it will be to go back and forth when it's used. Also, think about how you plan to use your spa. Is it strictly an adults-only relaxation environment, or will you also use it for family gatherings and social entertainment?
You'll want to consider things like accessibility - is it convenient to get to? Backyard privacy - will you have to screen your neighbors? And general aesthetics - will the spa look good in the location you are considering? Also, where will users change? How is the location of your spa in relation to the entertainment area of your home? If your home has a scenic view or a secluded grove of trees, you many want to create a special area so that your spa makes the most of this environment.

Hot Tub Decks & Backyard Patios
A backyard deck or patio is an ideal spot to set up your hot tub retreat. Whether you have an existing deck/patio or are planning to design and build one from scratch, planning ahead will produce a built-in, integrated look. Check with your Hot Spring spa dealer as they may be able to suggest a reliable contractor.
There are three ways to install a hot tub on your deck: flush-mounted with the deck surface, partially mounted in the deck surface so that a portion of the hot tub is exposed, or freestanding. Freestanding spas rest directly on top of the deck. The advantage to this type of setup is that if you ever remove the spa, there won't be a hole in your deck. Remember that deck materials aren't limited to wood. Alternative surface options include ceramic tile, slate, brick and stone. Don't be afraid to mix and match.
