Default Above Ground VS In Ground Spas

In ground is all well and good but you don't get nearly the seating and jet options you would in an Above Ground/Portable Spa.
There are many different ways to install a portable Spa to increase safety. One of the ways which is the safest is to build decking and insert the spa so that half of it is below the deck and then make sure to have a strong railing so that getting in and out is much safer.
Another option is to purchase or build extra wide/deep spa steps which provide a good sturdy landing. There are even steps you can purchase with storage in them.
