Beachcomber Hot Tubs have a unique feature called protec.  This design has the pump equipment outside of the tub so that all four sides of the hot tub are fully insulated.  This design allows for great flexibility of installation. for custom applications.  In our case we can  easily service the equipment from below the deck.  

see pictures.

Very nice deck Zz. I bet it cost a fortune.

Beautiful! Do you get frost in the ground where you live? The pic of the peers is deceivingly shallow.

We live in the Greater Vancouver area of BC Canada and no we do not have a frost problem here.  It rarely gets below freezing, and only for a few days a year.

The footing is two feet long by one and one half feet deep and one and a half feet wide.

ZZ,

   I'm curious as to why the overkill with the steel beams, Vancouver and BC are not hurricane or earthquake zones.  I have visited the Lake Louise to Vancouver Island stretch a couple of times its a absolutly beautiful part of the country :)  You are in about the only part of Canada that does'nt really have a winter, I'm jealous

I kinda figured it was a beach but all I saw was part of the protek opening as you were lowering it. That does make for a slick system, very cool suff.

Yes Vancouver is the California of Canada, although we are in the ring of fire, that is we could be subject to earthquakes.

I used Steel because of how high the deck is and having less beams underneath.  The structure is virtually maintenance free using cement floors and will support the weight with ease.

The actual wholesale cost, including design, Engineeing, footings, concrete, steel assembly and erection, and crane to place the hot tub was $7200 Cdn

I still plan for a GFI outlet, Water Hose bib and some LED lighting around the tub, and I may erect a gazabo roof over the tub for the winter, which I used in the old location.

I should add that the form sits on six inches of crushed rock.
