Does anyone have a suggestion of either a book with photos or a web site that will give photos of ideas for installation of a hot tub?  ie:  patio, arbors, surrounding decking, etc. :D

Pool and Spa Magazine might be a good source.

Poolandspa.com has a lot of pictures.  Also check the major manufacturers web sites.  I know the sundance and hotspring web sites have installation pictures.  Rhtubs.com has pictures of traditional wooden hot tub installs.

What a good idea! I would love to read suggestions (or see pictures) of how and where people have situated their hot tubs, and how they have blended them in with their yards.

I too would love a data base that showed "real" tubs in "real" home settings.  Both my Jacuzzi and Sundance dealer had several photo albums of tubs installed locally, I liked looking thru them.  I also googled *hot tub backyard deck photos* and got several images.

Most major manufacturer's web sites have a gallery of ideas. Start here:

countryboy,

I haven't sealed it, and won't. We will be staining it with Cabot Austrialian Timber Oil, but I have learned that you don't seal it because you want cedar to breath!
