Essential Installation Tips with Be Well Canada Spa

A hot tub is more than a purchase—it’s an investment in your well-being. But before enjoying your first soak, it’s important to prepare properly for your hot tub installation.

Can You Put a Hot Tub on Grass?

It may sound easy to set your spa directly on the lawn, but grass and bare soil cannot safely support the weight of a filled hot tub—often more than 5,000 lbs. Over time, the ground shifts, creating uneven surfaces that can damage your spa and compromise safety.

Instead, choose a stable base: a concrete slab, reinforced deck, compacted gravel, or a spa pad. These options ensure long-term durability and peace of mind.

Indoor or Outdoor?

Your Spa, Your Choice

A hot tub can be installed indoors—in a sunroom, basement, or spa room—or outdoors as the centerpiece of your backyard. Indoors, remember to provide ventilation and water-resistant flooring.

Outdoors, consider accessibility, privacy, and landscaping to enhance your wellness experience.

Can You Put a Hot Tub on a Deck?

Yes—many people dream of relaxing in a hot tub on their deck. The key is making sure the structure is strong enough to support the weight. A licensed contractor or engineer can confirm if reinforcements are needed.

What About a Spa Pad?

A spa pad offers a quick, affordable foundation for your spa. Made of interlocking tiles, it sits on a leveled gravel or sand base and provides the stability needed without the effort of pouring concrete.

Relaxation Starts with the Right Installation

Hot tub installation is the first step toward years of wellness, relaxation, and joy. With the right foundation and a little planning, your Be Well Spa becomes a true sanctuary—tailored to your lifestyle and comfort.
