I finally finished trimming out my Jacuzzi J375. I set my tub on an elevated treated deck because of frost issues last Spring. I then framed out a mini bar on the console side of the tub. Many hours of trimming out the deck with a product from Menards called an over-deck, I finally finished the project. Very happy with how it turned out, and the little bar works great for setting miscellaneous items on. I have the bottom trim piece to put on yet to finish it off completely. I also added 4" of insulation under the tub for added efficiency.

That's pretty sweet , is that wood or synthetic like the tub panels ?.......my 375 should leave the factory on Wednesday so im getting close myself........I want to do something like that on the sides , and maybe steps all the way across the front ......

Budule, that's a man-made product like trex decking. Not cheap, but it looks very nice.

Thanks for sharing, Should make for a good BBQ day.

Looks nice! But you will have to replace the framing at some point down the road, doesn't look like it's treated? Also is that a wood burning furnace in the background?

I used treated wood, Jim. I also used the lumber as concrete forms a while ago, so it might not look like they are treated.
Yes, that is a wood boiler in the background. Central Boiler is the manufacturer. I heat the house, garage, and my shop with it. I could heat the hot tub with it, but when it get's 20 below zero, I have a hard enough time keeping the house and shop warm.

Great set-up, Mike. Begging to be soaked in, and a great view, too. Something tells me that wasn't going to be a straight Pepsi when the glass was full.
