How to install a PVC membrane patio for your spa


27 mai 2025

Purchasing a spa is a simple and affordable way to create a relaxing and convivial space that's accessible at all times. However, there are some important things to consider before purchasing and installing one.


Before going any further, it's important to note that installing a PVC membrane around a spa is an ideal solution for ensuring a waterproof and durable surface. This allows you to relax with peace of mind, without having to worry about potential damage caused by water infiltration.


Here are some tips to follow to ensure optimal installation of your spa and maintain the integrity of your patio and PVC membrane.


Regulations and Permits

Before going any further, check with your municipality to get the facts on the various regulations regarding the installation of your spa. Different rules apply depending on the depth or weight of your pool, and in some cases, a fence or other elements will be required.


Also inquire about whether you need a permit to begin work.

Obviously, before purchasing your spa and building materials for your project, it's important to plan everything carefully in advance.


One of the first things to do is decide whether you want to install your spa in the ground or on a platform with the adjacent deck, or whether you want to place it on the deck.

If you choose the latter, make sure your deck is built to easily support your spa. Depending on the model, a spa filled with water can weigh between 2,500 and 5,000 pounds (approximately 2,800 to 3,800 kilograms). 


This weight shouldn't be overlooked, and it's essential that your deck structure can easily support it for several years.

Also consult your Bestdeck specialist before proceeding any further; He or she will be able to advise you on the practical aspects of your project.


Plan the location of your spa

Now's the time to use your imagination! The idea that motivates you to install a spa is probably to create an experience for you, your family, and your friends. The positioning of the pool will have a significant impact on the benefits of your installation.

Here are some points to consider:


  • Accessibility: Think about the flow of traffic between your home and your spa and make sure it's convenient for you and your guests—avoid placing it too close to railings and stairs;
  • Privacy: You probably want to avoid being in view of neighbors and passersby—also consider decorative elements that will protect you from prying eyes;
  • Aesthetics: You may want to locate your spa in a location where you can easily create a special atmosphere with plants, lighting, and furniture that matches your tastes.


PVC Membrane Installation

As mentioned previously, it is important to contact your PVC membrane installation professional before beginning your project. You can share your intentions with them, and they can advise you on the best way to plan the work.


If you are installing your patio next to the spa, in most cases it will be much easier to install the membrane before installing your spa. It is sometimes possible to do this after the spa is installed, but this adds complexity to the work and may affect the cost mentioned in the quote.


If you are installing your spa directly on the surface, it will always be necessary to install the membrane beforehand.


Maintenance

The desired atmosphere in the space designated for a spa requires maintaining a clean and tidy appearance. PVC membrane is very easy to maintain, making it an ideal option for patios adjacent to a spa. Frequent splashes, fallen leaves, spills, and dirt underfoot and sandals require a material that's easy to clean and will maintain its appearance for a long time. Bestdeck PVC membrane is what you need.


A light cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush is all that's necessary in most cases.


Conclusion

Is this summer finally the time to purchase the spa of your dreams? Make sure you plan your project carefully. Draw up a plan of what you have in mind while considering the pool's location. Check your municipality's regulations. Make sure you have all the necessary permits and approvals in hand. Contact your PVC membrane specialist for advice, and contact a trusted construction company that can guarantee solid and durable work.


Also, make sure you hire Bestdeck PVC membrane installers who have been specifically trained to provide you with quality work that's 100% waterproof. Here are some solutions to ensure years of pleasure and relaxation at home.
