Welcome to our forum.
I recently did the same (but under a stone base, not concrete or pavers), and am really glad I did. Just didn't want to worry about drilling a hole into the side, having conduit there for someone to trip on, etc.BUT, our sales people were horrendous (although maybe partially blamed on how busy they have been because of COVID), and acted like I was crazy, and that no one does that, and they didn't have any schematic. I knew they had one of our model on the showroom floor about an hour away, so I said I wanted to go there to look at it myself, and then they finally claimed to understand what I wanted to do. they told me where to drill up, and I said I could still come look just to be extra sure. They assured me I didn't need to. And of course they told me the wrong spot. Luckily our electrician is a family friend,so he did the extra work to zig-zag around stuff that was in the way. End result, I am happy with the cleaner look, but just make super duper sure you have the right spot.

I am using the schematic for the tub that I found on Bullfrogs website, https://www.shopthegreatescape.com/_wss/clients/20/assets/A8L:R8L:X8L.jpg and have updated the sketches i've made in Visio. Here is my math:Brick patio will be 12' X 9'; the base of the tub is 89.6" square. I'll be positioning it so that it has an equal gap from each side and the back.Internal Electrical Stub up is 5" from front, and 5" from left side.Width = 108"Tub = 89.6"Total width gap = 18.4"Gap on each side (right, left, back) = 9.2"Mark to center of Stub up from Left = 14.2" (9.2" + 5")Mark to center of Stub up from Back = 93.8" (9.2" + 89.6" - 5")ThanksJoe

Nice tub and pad! Although I'm perplexed you got yours so soon...i ordered my A8D may 15th and am still waiting. They tell me this month I'll get it...

They tell me this month I'll get it...Hey Frogger - Sorry to hear that. I feel pretty fortunate getting it so quickly, I actually thought they were blowing smoke when they told me the original estimates, but they met them. I'm in the Chicago area, and bought from the Great Escape - not sure if those factor into quicker delivery.Good Luck, hope yours arrives this month
Your well wishes have some clout dawg....My salesperson called today and said I'm getting it next week. We need to do vegas because you brought me some luck...ha! Anyway I like your pad design...its the nicest one I've seen...very elegant.. An interior shot would have been cool to see but I'm sure you are pretty busy right now enjoying it all
