Now that the influx of potential buyers is back, I thought that I would attempt this post yet again. �I would like to see all members with pics of their setup to post some photos. �

This can be used to show others A) the different brands and B) ideas on setups for their backyard. �This really helped me last year when I was looking for ideas.

I am posting two pictures to share, one in the summer and one in the winter.

My setup

includes a 44x14 concrete patio. �It is brown cement with agrigate stone finish. �The patio has been stamped all the way around. �I have my tup on a 14x14 platform which is still connected to the rest of my patio.

My Tub

2005 Arctic Spas Tundra Signature Series. �It includes 33 jets, 2 pumps, deluxe northern lights (5 lights) with multi settings, forever floor, cover and lifter, cedar skirt steps and bar. �

Winter

Summer

Very nice setup...

I hope that mine is that nice when I'm done.

I'll post some when I'm done.

Thanks for sharing.

Great idea!

The whole deck is 16 x 28 and is broken in half - screened/open. The tub is sunken in about 13" with 23" above the deck. The deck is made out of Timber Tech tongue and groove composite lumber.

The deck isn't completed in the picts or as we speak ... we're putting low voltage post cap lights on 4 posts with matching caps for the rest and white lattice under the skirting.

My tub is a 2005 Artesian Grand Cayman, 56 jets, 3 pumps, LED light in silver marble.

Here's some photos:

I actually did...found a pergola design I loved on the net, altered it to be a weird shape like my deck, hired a guy to build it (time was tight)...then I hated the wind during a storm, and built the glass walls over a weekend with my dad's help.

I finally found my camera... so here is the debut of my tub.

First some before shots...

Now some tub shots...

View from the street...

Some notes: The tub is on a portable pad. Since the tub is in the middle of the yard we didn't want to put more concrete. We dug out the area, put sand down, then the pad. I transplanted ferns to try and cover up the ugly pad. The rocks were to hide the sand and give me a clean surface to stand on when I lift the cover up/down, put in chemicals etc. The lovely bamboo fence was put down to give us some privacy from the street. Its not the prettiest/fanciest of set ups, but working with what we had and little money I think it turned out okay.

Oh, and since I was taking pics, here are some before/after pics of the new fence.

Looks great, Brooke

...what's the fence material; what an improvement, it looks great!! �I like the bamboo and almost bought the product on this link, as I think it looks amazing and unique...

BTW if anyone wishes to give me a lesson how to make this an actual link, I'm all ears
SB

I always just click the the 2nd icon in from the middle row (looks like earth and a piece of paper).. it will give you http:// and you just paste your link in the middle.

We used reed fencing from Depot or Lowes for $20 or $30. Not as fancy as the stuff you linked, but the price was right.

The white fencing is the princeton panel (white vinyl) from Lowes. We had to jimmy rig (customize) the angle pieces as they do not sell them that way and we didn't want to just stack the panels. I love the look of the new fence, but I do need some plants in front of it as it is very bright and reflective.
