Hot Tub Placement and Clearance Guide

Service and access clearances

• Keep service-side access clear and reachable. Easy panel access shortens future repair and maintenance visits.
• Preserve cover-lifter swing and opening space. Full cover movement improves daily usability and protects hardware.
• Avoid blocking pathways for future maintenance visits. Unobstructed access reduces service delays and labor cost.

Comfort and usability planning

• Plan entry/exit path for wet foot traffic. Safer walking routes reduce slips and make year-round use easier.
• Consider privacy, wind exposure, and night lighting. Placement comfort factors have a big impact on how often owners use the spa.
• Leave room for steps, towels, and supplies. Small staging space keeps your hot tub area practical and organized.
