In-Deck Hot Tubs & Spa Surrounds are the ultimate way to transform your backyard into a personal retreat. At McMorris Decks & Structures, we specialize in custom-built deck integrations that seamlessly incorporate hot tubs and spas into your outdoor living space. Our tailored designs focus on comfort, accessibility, and lasting beauty—all built to withstand Utah’s climate.
The Benefits of an Integrated Hot Tub Design
Adding a hot tub to your yard is one thing—but designing it into your deck creates a polished, high-end experience. We take careful measurements, plan for safety and access, and construct a frame that feels like it was meant to be there from the start.
Advantages of in-deck hot tubs and spa surrounds include:
- Safe, easy entry with minimal climbing
- Enhanced visual appeal and cleaner layout
- Custom steps, storage, or seating built around the spa
- Better thermal efficiency when surrounded by wood or composite
- Seamless integration with existing or new custom decks
With a well-planned design, your hot tub won’t just be a backyard feature—it’ll be the centerpiece of your outdoor lifestyle.
Custom Spa Surround Features
Every hot tub project we complete is fully customized to fit your space, style, and spa model. Whether you already have a hot tub or plan to install one, we’ll work with you to design an enclosure or in-deck surround that checks every box.
Some popular features include:
- Raised or flush deck installations
- Built-in bench seating and planters around the tub
- Privacy enhancements like privacy walls or trellises
- Safety railing or handholds using custom stairs, walkways, and railing
- Access hatches for spa maintenance
- Lighting for nighttime ambiance and safety
We make sure every detail is both functional and beautiful, so your spa setup is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at.
Built to Handle Utah’s Conditions
Your outdoor spa needs more than just a beautiful setting—it needs a strong, weather-ready foundation. We build every in-deck hot tub surround to handle the specific conditions of Salt Lake County, including snow load, freeze-thaw cycles, and high UV exposure.
Key considerations we include:
| Structural Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Reinforced sub-framing | Supports the weight of a fully loaded spa |
| Proper drainage & ventilation | Prevents wood rot and mold |
| Weatherproof materials | Withstands seasonal exposure |
| Insulated access panels | Protects equipment and improves efficiency |
We also coordinate with electricians, plumbers, and spa suppliers as needed, so everything connects seamlessly and runs reliably from day one.
Spa Surrounds That Elevate Outdoor Living
When done right, an in-deck spa becomes more than a luxury—it becomes the heart of your outdoor space. We design surrounds that encourage gathering, relaxation, and entertainment while maintaining an open, welcoming feel.
Our in-deck hot tubs pair well with:
- Covered pergolas and gazebos for shade and protection
- Custom timber frames to add rustic architectural flair
- Outbuildings or pole barns that include saunas, changing rooms, or storage
- Multi-level custom decks for integrated entertaining zones
Whether you want a private retreat or a party-ready oasis, we’ll help bring it to life with thoughtful design and durable construction.
