Carefully read and follow all safety instructions.
When installing and assembling your villa, it

is recommended that two or more people be
involved.

Do not use the unit during an electrical storm.
Do not climb on top of the villa. While the villa is

made out of high-quality material and is extremely
durable, it is not meant to support weight. In
addition, falling off of the villa while climbing on it
can result in serious injury or death.

Do not attempt any repair without consulting the

manufacturer rst. Unauthorized repairs will void
the manufacturer’s warranty (within the rst 90

days).

Preparing a Good Foundation

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 ve. 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 nd 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.

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 qualied, •

licensed contractor prepare the foundation for
your villa.

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.
