Make sure it is level
Notes:
- One of the first things you’ll need to do when installing a hot tub in your backyard is ensure that you have a level spot for your tub. If you’re lucky, you’ll already have a perfectly level spot waiting for you, such as an empty patio space.
- If not, make sure that you are able to level a large enough spot for the foundation on which you will set your hot tub so that you can avoid the problems that come from trying to install a hot tub on an incline.
