pdabill, I think we are all trying to figure out how you are going to get an 84" spa in a 97" room. 97" leaves you 13" (6.5" on each side) for the swing arms, so it better be a hydraulic lifter with zero side tolereance opening to the back, assuming there are no windows, but what about service access, that is a pretty tight space. Tell us more about your plans.
