What I learned - time for the purchase

Tman122:
I am on my 3rd metal grill on the same wooden deck.

Ripper238:
Hmm. When you build a bridge do you build it out of wood or metal? When you build a skyscraper do you make it out of wood or metal?

So silly, all depends on the aplication. Wood is great for lower cost, but a synthetic or staneless steel frams are far better for Hot Tubs.

Its the sum of all parts that make the product.

Bridges are made of both, wood and metal. Buildings are made of both wood and metal. Put a 2x4 in a wet area and a metal framing stud, see which lasts longer. Metal framing is manufactured to be equal to wood. Not better. Who uses SS framing in their tubs?

Spas coming out of China do.

Ripper238:
Many swim spas utilize SS tubular structures. It's likely all Hot Tubs from outside the US don't use wood due to restrictions and additional requirements. Lacey Act specifically.

Somehow i doubt there is much if any wood in this bridge:



Like I said, it depends on the application. If they are making tub frames with cheap metal framing studs then yeah it's not going to be better than wood.
