An inflatable hot tub is an excellent addition to your home. It’s not as expensive as traditional hot tubs, but it still boasts almost the same features. You can use it as a great way to bond with your family and friends over a barbecue. You can use it for hydrotherapy and relieve some of your stress. You can even customise it to make it more appealing! The list can go on and on and on\u2026<\/p>\n

With these considered, it’s only essential that you know how to take care of your inflatable hot tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you own an\u00a0inflatable hot tub<\/a>, you might be looking for ways to maximise its security during use. Caring for hot tubs requires work, and so does finding the perfect ground cloth or base for your home spa. For this reason, you might be wondering, ‘what can I put under an inflatable hot tub?’ Today, we’ll answer that question for you.<\/p>\n

Inflatable Hot Tub Base Ideas<\/h2>\n

You’ve spent a lot of money and time on finding the perfect hot tub for you. Aside from\u00a0cleaning your hot tub regularly<\/a>, there are other things you also need to consider.<\/p>\n

One consideration is to find the most effective ways to support your new purchase\u2014whether that’s on decking, grass, or a solid foundation<\/strong>. While choosing the right floor for your hot tub, consider that the surface must be solid and level. It should also be durable and strong and not too close to electrical components.<\/p>\n

Below are some foundation ideas for inflatable hot tubs.<\/p>\n

Grass<\/h3>\n

It is probably one of the most popular surfaces used as an inflatable hot tub base. Its soft texture provides plenty of cushioning for an inflatable hot tub. However, you must make sure that there isn’t any broken glass or pieces of wood underneath that could damage or pop the hot tub.<\/p>\n

A grass plot isn’t the perfect insulator, so you may need to add a ground cloth underneath for\u00a0better heat insulation<\/a>. Doing so can also make the surface puncture-resistant. It would help if you also remembered that it isn’t a great idea to keep inflatable hot tubs in the same place on grass without moving them from time to time. It can leave a mark on the floor and may even kill the grass. Plus, you may have to fork out on grass-enhancing sprays if you rent your house.<\/p>\n

Paving Slabs<\/h3>\n

This base idea for inflatable hot tubs is an easy and effective method. This material has the benefit of more design flexibility<\/strong> than many other bases. You can experiment with various designs and colours to match your garden’s layout, style and surroundings. You may wish to place the paving stones further around the hot tub rather than just underneath to ensure that all of the paving stones are level and fitted correctly. Otherwise, you might encounter the stones moving away from each other and the hot tub subsiding.<\/p>\n

Concrete Pad<\/h3>\n

Another great material to use as a base is a concrete pad<\/strong>. But before you use any concrete area, you should check that the surface is level. It is to avoid the hot tub from falling or settling to one side once you get in it. The concrete pad’s thickness should support a hot tub’s weight and spread out the hot tub’s water evenly.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the concrete surface should be the size of the hot tub or bigger. Anything too small will create an uneven layer on the ground.<\/p>\n
