How Far Does A Hot Tub Need To Be From A House?

|

It depends on the size of the hot tubs and the strength of the pump.

A general rule of thumb is that a hot tub should be at least 10 feet from the foundation of a house, but it’s best to consult with a professional to get an accurate answer for your specific set-up.

Can You Put A Hot Tub Next To House?

Yes, you can put a hot tub or swimming pool next to your house as long as there is enough space.

Most people typically codes require a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the edge of the tub to any property line and other structures such as your house.

You will also need an adequate power supply source and water supply nearby.

While many newer houses are built with all of these things in mind, some older houses may not be, so it’s always best to check with your local code official before proceeding.

Additionally, be sure that your insurance company is okay with you installing a hot tub, as some have strict guidelines about them.

How Much Space Is Needed Around A Hot Tub?

The amount of space you’ll need around your hot tub will depend on the location, the size and model of the tub, as well as any other factors such as fencing, decks, or patio furniture.

For example, a smaller hot tub might only require a few feet of ground clearance on each side, while a larger one could need up to 5 feet.

In general, it’s a good idea to have at least 2-3 feet of space around your hot tub for safety and comfort purposes.

This way, you’ll be able to move around easily and won’t have to worry about things bumping into the concrete sides of the tub.

If you have any questions about how much space is needed for your specific model, be sure to check with the manufacturer or your local dealer.
