Does a Hot Tub need to be close to the house? No, not at all.
Many people choose to put their Hot Tub close to their home as there are a few benefits which we’ll go into shortly. There’s not usually anything to stop you putting it down the far end of your garden as far away from the house as possible though. Many people do.
We find that the most popular place customers want their Hot Tub installing is close to the house and there’s few reasons for this. A Hot Tub needs to have an electrical connection which is usually cheaper and more straight forward to have near the house. The Hot Tub also needs a solid, flat base. Many people already have this on their patio near the house. Lastly and probably the main reason, on cold or dark evening its much nicer and easier to walk out your back door have the Hot Tub nearby rather than having to walk down the other end of the garden. In the end though it’s a personal choice.
