GET INTO YOUR HOT TUB SOONER & LESS EXPENSIVELY WITH OUR SPA PAD

With spring in the air and the past winter having been as easy as it gets across the North, peoples’ thoughts are turning to home improvements. Many have bought or will be buying a hot tub.

One of the biggest delays – and surprise added costs – associated with spas are the bases. Many people opt for concrete pads or wooden decks. In either case, you have to wait for the weather to cooperate (and the ground to be dry) and for the contractor’s (or your) schedule to open up. In most cases, this could delay the set-up of your hut tub by weeks. It will cost you a pretty penny, too, nearly $800 dollars.

Our spa pad (also known as the Handi-spa pad) is a faster, cheaper alternative to concrete pads and wooden decks. For $449.99 (MSRP), you can buy 6 of our modular pads, which connect together to make an 8’ x 8’ area, more than sufficient for most hot tubs. Additional pads can be purchased if you have a larger spa. It goes together in minutes: Simply place the pads where you want them, lock them together with the built-in connectors, and you're ready to go. No mess, no waiting, no hassles, no problem.

The Handi-Spa Pad is constructed of durable, weatherproof, high-density polyethylene, offered in a gray color. Each pad measures 32” x 48” x 2” thick and weighs 15 lbs. The underside of the Handi-Spa Pad is formed with built-in “strength” pockets. It has been tested to withstand 300 pounds of pressure per square foot. This was accomplished by applying a total weight of 7000 pounds over a 21-foot square area.

The Handi-Spa Pad is very versatile, and can be used in many outdoor applications such as underneath pool filter equipment (although not under gas heaters), underneath plastic sheds, under trash cans, and inside the garage.
