But while I have you now, let’s explore some creative and practical inflatable hot tub deck ideas that will transform your outdoor space into a relaxing oasis!

Deck with Inflatable Hot Tub Ideas

Inflatable Hot Tub Deck Surround in Separated Space

If you need to position your hot tub further from your house, you can set up a small platform deck in the corner of your yard.

Then you can build a wood trail from your porch to the hot tub deck.

A quarter wall with lattice ends provides privacy and a pretty place to grow fragrant or gorgeous flowers!

Build a Beautiful Beachy Boho Bathing Base

Building a wood deck around your inflatable hot tub is the perfect way to protect the tub and create a relaxing retreat.

Different tiers allow you to step into your tub, sit on the sides, and display decor pieces like vases, greenery, pillows, and candles.

A tarp curtain overhead shields you from the sun, and horizontal half walls give you privacy and a place to hold banners, pics of motivational quotes, and strings of lights.

Cover Your Inflatable Hot Tub Deck with a Curtain Gazebo

When you have an inflatable hot tub deck not attached to your house, you may have to think outside the box about keeping your spa covered for privacy.

A pre-fabricated curtain gazebo can be the perfect protective house that can be a temporary or permanent solution.

In addition, you can do many things with the inside of the tent to enhance your hot tub’s ambiance, like using colored lights and soft outdoor rugs or mats. 

Set Up Your Inflatable Hot Tub Under a Wood House

Place your inflatable hot tub deck under a wood gazebo structure that protects you from the sun, the elements, and birds (and the poop that comes with said birds)

Open sides and a diagonal slat backing add the perfect rustic touches to accent the roof. Wrap the rafters in fairy lights, add some pretty plants, and make a secure, sheltered serenity. Voila. Inflatable hot tub oasis!

Don’t Let a Small Deck Squash Your Dreams

If you don’t have a large yard to set up your hot tub, you can work your magic with a small deck built against the side of your house.

Simple short posts looped with rope add an open barrier that sections off your spa from your yard.

A soft cloth gazebo cover adds a whimsical look when tied back and you can pull the curtain closed when you want privacy or seclusion. 

Try a Pergola with Pops of Color

The best part about inflatable hot tubs is they don’t take up as much space as a regular one because they come in so many sizes!

They can easily be set up in an area the width of your flower beds against the side of your house.

A small pergola can create shade and makes a fantastic structure to secure decors like neon lights, dangling globes, and sheer curtains that create a beautifully balanced boho escape.

Small Space Deck with Privacy Wall Around Inflatable Hot Tub

Positioning the inflatable tub against the side of the house leaves plenty of space for a sitting area.

And an open horizontal wall build-out from the house to the stairs can make a great focal feature while it provides decent privacy from the close spacing.

FAQ

Can you have an inflatable hot tub on decking?

Yes, it is possible to have an inflatable hot tub on a decking as long as the decking is strong enough to support the weight of the hot tub when filled with water and people.

It is important to ensure that the decking is level and sturdy, and that it can withstand the weight of the hot tub, as well as the movement and activity of people using the hot tub.

Additionally, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use of the inflatable hot tub on decking.

What do you put under an inflatable hot tub on a wood deck?

When placing an inflatable hot tub on a wood deck, it is recommended to place a suitable base or foundation underneath the hot tub to provide stability, protect the deck from water damage, and prevent punctures or tears in the bottom of the hot tub.

Here are some options for what you can put under an inflatable hot tub on a wood deck:

1. Foam mats
   • You can use interlocking foam mats that are designed for use as gym flooring or play mats. These mats provide cushioning and can help protect the deck from damage.
2. Rubber mats
   • Rubber mats are another good option for creating a stable and protective base for an inflatable hot tub. Look for mats that are specifically designed for outdoor use and are resistant to water, mold, and mildew.
3. Tarp or groundsheet
   • Placing a tarp or groundsheet under the hot tub can help prevent any water from seeping through and damaging the wood deck.
4. Hot tub base pads
   • You can purchase specialized hot tub base pads made of high-density polyethylene that provide a solid and stable surface for your hot tub. These are designed to withstand the weight of the hot tub and prevent any damage to the deck.

It is important to note that whichever option you choose, you should ensure that it is large enough to fully support the hot tub and extend beyond the edges of the hot tub.

This will help to distribute the weight of the hot tub evenly and provide a stable and secure foundation for your inflatable hot tub on a wood deck, whether you have an inflatable one or a real one.
