Planning a pool or hot tub project
- The site: an above-ground pool needs perfectly level ground, full sun and some distance from trees that drop leaves into the water.
- The rules: residential pool safety is regulated, including fencing. Check your municipality's bylaws before you buy.
- Electrical needs: confirm what a hot tub or pump requires and call an electrician when needed.
- Winter: plan the winterizing, the cover and where accessories will be stored from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I put an above-ground pool?
On flat, compacted ground in full sun, away from overhead power lines and trees. Also respect the minimum setbacks your municipality requires.
Can a hot tub go on a wooden deck?
Only if the deck is built to carry the weight of a hot tub full of water and people. Have the structure checked by a professional.
