I previously owned a Catalina spa and the Barefoot is exceptional! We have it set up on the deck. Had to crane it in over the house. Worth it. Just a short walk from the screened area of the porch to overlook the privacy of our backyard and mountains. We had the catlina installed ground level outside the walk out basement. Now we have the quality spa we always desired, which is a stunning compliment to the breath taking view of the mountain valley from our 2nd story deck.
