Does your hot tub have feet?
Yes, our Soak hot tubs are equipped with feet. To protect the timber underneath, we apply a protective coating. Additionally, we install small plastic feet to elevate the tub slightly off the ground. For optimal performance and longevity, we recommend placing your hot tub on a flat, hard surface, such as concrete or decking. Avoid placing it directly on grass or soft surfaces.
