Welcome to our forum.
Gores,I love your set-up! Your placement of the pad is well-thought-out and very tastefully done. Looks like that patio and wall are brand new; you can still see the sand on the bricks. Did you do it yourself? Looks like a pro job.
Hi Marc, I'd like to chime in to and congratulate you on the patio. It's a real nice set up. Postioning the tub so that the lounger on the left seems ok to me. My concern was postioning the tub so that the control panel was againts the house or the deck side, would make operating the tub from outside difficult, and would make getting at the filters a pain. On the side seems fine to me and is exactly how i would postion the tub, given there's no problem mounting the lifter. (My dealer INSISTED that i had to mount the lifter only on the cabient sides). You'd have the filter easy to get at. The controls panel accesabl, the equitpment compartment unblocked, and not interfere with your deck railing plans.
