I still need to do some landscaping around the deck but not a priority.

I need a good how to guide on insulating a hot tub.  Ive been reading on some sites that the best start is the top and the gap in between the water and the cover. Then adding baffles of insulation in the access panel.

Anyone have any advice on insulation methods?

Don’t suffocate the pumps, board, heater in insulation. Sundance does a good job insulating their tubs. Why do you feel you need to insulate it more?  I think they make a thermal blanket Jacuzzi/Sundance sells for the equipment bay I have used them on a couple of Caldera Spas. My customers haven’t really noticed a difference.

like mentioned don't go overboard stuffing your equipment compartment with extra insulation, pumps can run upwards of 150+ degrees and they need some type of fresh air intake to operate properly, if you cover up an intake or overload that area with extra insulation you can burn out your electronics.

Ya I was going to start with 2 inch foam board and cut a custom insert to lay flush on top of the hot tub without interfering with the cover.  The foam board wouldnt come in direct contact with the water, but seal the heat in and reduce some of that gap between the cover and water.
