Hot Tubs for Sale in Burnaby

Local Notes

Buying in Burnaby

Burnaby is a mix of established single-family neighbourhoods and newer higher-density housing, and the two produce completely different hot tub problems. On the established lots the constraint is usually the side passage and the age of the deck. On the newer properties it is more often the amount of level ground available.

Burnaby is also hilly, and sloped lots mean tiered yards and multi-level decks. A spa must sit level, which is a shimming job at delivery rather than an excavation job, but the access route across changing levels is worth photographing before you order. On the deck question, a filled spa with people in it runs roughly 89 to 108 lbs per square foot depending on the model, which is above what most residential decks are designed to carry as a live load. On a patio or on compacted gravel there is nothing to check and no concrete pad required.

Burnaby Questions

Can a hot tub go on a sloped Burnaby lot?

Yes. The tub has to sit level, which the crew handles by shimming at delivery. The question worth answering first is whether the access route across the levels works, since stairs change how many people the job needs. Photos of the tightest point are enough for us to tell you.

How much weight does a hot tub put on a deck?

Between roughly 89 and 108 lbs per square foot filled and occupied, depending on the model. Each model page publishes its own figure. Get a structural opinion on any raised deck before ordering, because that is above typical residential live-load design.

Where do I see one in person?

The Abbotsford showroom serves the Lower Mainland and has the range on the floor. Lift the hard cover while you are there. It is the fastest way to understand the difference from a foam one.
