FAQs: Spas for Smaller Places

What is the smallest hot tub I can get for a UK garden or patio?

Our compact patio spas start from just 160cm in diameter — the Okanagan — while our best-selling Manitoba measures just 172 x 154cm, making both ideal for smaller gardens, patios, and terraces. Despite their compact footprint, all models seat up to 4 people comfortably and deliver a full hydrotherapy experience.

What base do I need for a compact hot tub or patio spa?

Your hot tub needs a solid, flat, and level base such as concrete, paving slabs, or a suitably reinforced deck. When filled, a 4 person spa can weigh around 1,000kg, so the surface must be able to safely support the load. An existing patio is usually suitable provided it has been built soundly.

Can I use a compact hot tub all year round in the UK?

Yes — all our compact hot tubs and patio spas are designed for year-round use in the UK climate. With energy-efficient insulation and a quality thermal cover retaining heat effectively, running costs remain low even in winter. It's most efficient to keep your spa heated continuously rather than reheating from cold for each use.
