Hot Tub on Ground Level Deck - best practices and materials?

<< < (5/5)

A.O.:
Hey betsbillabong, what did you end up doing with this? Did you get that tub yet?

Hi! Just seeing this. It has been REALLY hard to get contractors to actually get quotes to me. But also the tub has been delayed (surprise, surprise).

I've decided on a ground-level freestanding deck that will hold the hot tub. It will be dug down several inches and filled with crushed rock/gravel to keep drainage good and the area dry and to dissuade weeds and critters.

I'm still not clear on whether it's necessary, but I think I will likely go with concrete footings just in case, to be sure it's solid. And if/when I go to refinance, I don't want to get dinged for having a cheap deck. I don't think it will be THAT much more expensive.

I'm excited for the tub to come, but damn I am so tired of spending time on this project. I just want to soak!
