Dennis, while the timbers certainly appear to be
quite stout and would probably support the overall
weight of the spa, the spacing of these timbers may
not correspond with where some of the load points
are in the hot tub and could create some sagging
and potential negative structural issues.

That and what does the structure of the deck under the timbers consist of?
