dazedandconfused:
I see that most spas rest on the ground on 2x4s.  I see that Jacuzzi has an ABS plastic pan.

Anyway, the wood is bound to rot easily within the expected spa life of 10 years!

Question - I was thinking about buying some neoprene (plastic) paint or an epoxy and paint this untreeated wood.  Anybody done this?  Suggestions?

I hate to buy a 8k+ dollar spa and have untreated wood rot!

Thanks

Rboehme:
The wood will also rot if it is not allowed to breath.

Just make sure you have adequate drainage away from the spa.

The wood rot should only be a problem if you ever decide to move your spa.

Chas:
HotSpring spas have only treated wood at the bottoms.

dpgtech:
treated wood can rot eventually too.  Jacuzzi and Coleman use an ABS pan

Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
EVERYTHING degardes, eventually. Is it worth the extra cost to make the base last 100 years if the rest of the spa is only going to last 15 years?
