Welcome to our forum.
First tip, don't mix bags! Most areas have "BATCHING" trucks who'll mix and place what you need on site. If they can't get the truck close you'll have to wheel barrow it. Or pay the minimum for the big truck to come. I post more if spa owners don't contribute. Gotta go, shopper in the store.
I'm considering either a Sundance or Hotsprings. Slab is something we are not considering as it would be too costly. With either of the above 2, is the crushed stone/sand possible?
A few questions for those who did the PT wood, crushed stone.1.) I'm concerned that 2*4 will nbot hold in the stone as well as 4*4. However many here used 2*4. Is 2*4 sufficient for the weight load?2.) For those who made a wood box, how did you ensure the box did not move? Did you drive metal stakes thorugh the wood into the ground or did you just nail the four corners together, or both?3.) A few mentioned that the tub can sit directly on the stone and I can "shim" it. What does this mean?
I'm still looking for info on what "shim" means?
