hot tub deck

[abarts]

Help!! trying to design a wood deck (on dirt) to support a hot tub. Any suggestions where i could find designs . I am most concerned with support. Joist sizes, etc, to support 5000+ lbs. (J365).

The Hot Spring website has Deck Designer software.  Once the deck is designed, it'll give you a list of materials needed.  Go to www.hotspring.com and look on the right side for the "Build A Deck" link.  It's pretty cool.
