Planning the Best Location for Your Villa

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children under the age of five. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your equipment.

The following are some of the things that you will need to consider when determining the placement of your new villa.

Consider How You Will Use Your Villa

How you intend to use your villa will help you determine where you should position it. For example, will you use your villa for recreational purposes? If your villa is mainly used for family functions, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.

Consider Your Privacy

In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much privacy. Think of your villas surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well, when you plan the location of your villa.

Provide A View With Your Villa

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your villa. Do you have a special landscaped area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things when you plan your location.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your villa needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the villa and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the villa is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE YOUR VILLA.

Place the villa on an elevated foundation (preferably a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the concrete slab is at least 12” wider than the outside dimension on the villa.

•If you are installing a spa or villa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, we strongly recommend that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 Lbs./ sq. ft.

•It is strongly recommended that a qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your villa.

Size Specifications

Length	Width
12’	12’
12’	16’
14’	14’
14’	18’
16’	16’

NOTE: We recommend that the foundation extend beyond the dimension of the villa. For example, if the villa you purchased is 12’x12’, you will want your foundation to be 12’x12’. The reason for this is because it will be easier to maintain the area around the villa (mowing the lawn, edging, etc.) without damaging or scarring the villa. Also, in doing this, you will eliminate any potential problems, foundation-wise, in the future.

NOTE: This owner’s manual applies to the various sizes that are included in the villa line. While the sizes will vary from villa to villa, the assembly instructions will be the same, unless otherwise noted.
