Welcome to our forum.
It's official, we put money down on it last night. Since it is a floor model they said they could deliver it within 2 weeks. Too bad I need to build a patio first. Anyone here have their spa on pavers instead of concrete slab? Thoughts, opinions? We might put a gazebo or pergola over it someday so I'm leaning towards a slab so I don't have to worry about footings, but man is it expensive.Thanks to you all for helping me with my questions and concerns.Mike
So far I only got back one quote but it was for $760 for a 9' x 9' x 5" slab. That's over $9 a square foot. I was expecting a lot less, maybe $3 or $4 per square foot. I guess I'll wait and see what the others come in at.The dealer has confirmed that pavers would work but I would really prefer the slab for the future gazebo.

It costs the contractor just as much in labor and and minimum concrete prices for a 9x9 as it might for a larger pad. You should ask about minimums. If you are below his minimum, then maybe there is something else you could do to get to his minimum. Say, like add a walkway.
