How To Maximise Your Backyard Space With Small Spa Installation

With modern installation techniques, even the smallest of backyards or balconies shouldn’t hold you back from the relaxation and enjoyment a personal spa can bring.

There are just a few considerations to keep in mind to get the most out of your space.

Consider vertical space

• Install a pergola: Build a pergola with built-in hooks or shelves for hanging plants, lights, or spa accessories. A pergola will help protect your spa from the elements and offers a sheltered entertainment area.
• Use an adjustable umbrella: To provide shade and privacy, opt for a large, adjustable umbrella. It can be moved or angled as needed, offering flexibility while taking little ground space.
• Add vertical garden elements: Attach vertical planters or trellises to the pergola or nearby walls to create a lush, green backdrop that enhances privacy and aesthetics without occupying floor space.

Create multi-functional spaces

• Build storage benches: Use benches with built-in storage around the spa area for keeping towels, chemicals, and accessories neatly stored and easily accessible. These can double as seating or lounging areas.
• Use folding furniture: Invest in foldable or stackable chairs and tables that can be easily stored when not in use, freeing up space around the spa.
• Add a bar: Add a wooden counter around your spa to create a bar area. Paired with bar stools, this is the perfect space to enjoy a drink without hindering socialisation with others enjoying the spa.
• Incorporate botanicals: Line the fencing around your spa to create a softer, jungle-like appearance. Or, build plant beds flush against your spa to continue your gardening hobby without sacrificing your limited space.

Integrate your spa into your deck or balcony

• Deck cut-out for spa: Create a cut-out in your deck to drop the spa in, making it level with the deck surface. This seamless integration saves space and creates a sleek look.
• Build around existing structures: Use existing deck or balcony structures to anchor the spa, reducing the need for additional construction. Reinforce the area to support the spa’s weight, considering water capacity and user load.
• Privacy screens: Add privacy screens or lattice panels around the spa area on your deck or balcony. These can be decorated with climbing plants or outdoor curtains, enhancing privacy while saving space.
