First, understand the dimensions of your spa by use of a  tape measure. The height of most spas is 740mm – 960mm high. You will  need to consider the Spa will be delivered on its side on a Spa Dolly system (see above). Using the trolley system we need a minimum at the tightest area  of 840mm – 1m wide access.

Use the height of the Spa (when laid flat) which will  become the width to determine the maximum width of clearance necessary.  If the Spa Dolly width is greater this will be the measurement you will  use.

Use the height of the Spa Dolly plus the height of the Spa  when stood on its side to determine the vertical clearance required.  Most spas range from 2m x 2m (mid range size) 2.4m x 2.4m (very large  spa). Add the height of the spa dolly system (being 200mm). So a 2m x 2m  spa will become 2.20m. Height clearance under eve will need to be a minimum clearance of 2.25m or more.

It may be necessary to allow for additional overhead  clearance if the spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved up or  down a short flight of stairs. It may be necessary to remove a gate,  part of a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to move the Spa  to its installation site. Only about 10% of the time, a crane is the  only way to install the spa by lifting it to its final destination.

How is your width clearance?

• Check all gates
• Protruding windows
• Electric metres or air conditioning units
• Vents and flu’s

Do you have sufficient overhead clearance?

• Check low roof eaves,
• overhanging branches,
• Rain gutters
• low house corners

Is the path clear?

• Remove any other obstacles on the path
• Is there a 90’ turn, can we clear it? (The Spa won’t bend)
• No more than 6 consecutive steps without a landing.  Extra people may be needed to push if more than 3 steps.
