The location where we would like to put our hot tub is next to our deck. It will be in full sun most of the day, from about 10am through 5-6pm during the summer (shorter in the winter).
We are not planning any kind of gazebo roof, etc.
Are there any issues with that approach? We'll have a cover, so I'm assuming there shouldn't be any chemical issues. So, the UV from the sun might break down the hot tub cover and the surround more quickly.
Anything else? Is there a recommendation as to where to put an outdoor hot tub regarding sun, covers, etc?
