Another question I have pertains to the Everwood steps that I would get. Does anyone know the dimensions of these steps? I am trying to evision my setup, and want to have a very specific idea as far as how much room I will need on my cement pad.

Go to Lowes, Home Depot, etc., and get some of the prefabbed "step" wood, and some treated 2x4s. Make your own and you'll save a few hundred dollars. I saw some of the Everwood steps on line for about 400.00. I made mine for under 65.00. Mine are pressure treaded, heavy duty and will last, most likely, much longer than the "plastic" ones you purchase. I also stained mine a nice coffee color to compliment my spa. I still love my Hot Spring Envoy spa!
I doubt very much that a home-built set of steps will last as long as, much less outlast a set of the steps from Watkins. We sell two different sets of steps, plus the faux stone units, so let's be sure we are talking about the correct ones. The "Everwood" steps are built from the same type of material as the siding, are factory assembled, and weigh a ton! If you have not gone into a dealer and tried to pick up one of these steps, then you are simply not qualified to comment about their durability, sorry.These are the 'Everwood' steps, and are the ones I'm referring to:
..... I also under-lit mine with LED so they glow in the dark, assuring the soaker a lighted way out of the water......
