I am looking forward to getting a hot tub and bulding a deck. I feel that hot tub decks are the perfect place to relax at the end of a day. Do you recommend bulding the hot tub into a duck? Can any one suugest me best deck building and deck design tips? pww50 | pww 50 | PWW-50
I'd recommend just inserting the spa about 1/2 way down. Although flush to the deck sounds like a good idea, it means you have to climb down into, and back up out of the spa. Usually a handrail is a good idea for one. With mine I made it so one of the seats is at the same height as the deck. That makes it easy to enter and exit...no up and down, just grab the edge and step over.With a flush located spa there's also the chance someone will wonder onto the cover. Also you'll be on your hands and knees whenever you do maintenance.Here's a pic of mine right after I finished trimming the boards....

How do you get the sides off if need be?
