The use of the bladder, inflated with a vacuum cleaner worked like a charm....by the way all the landsacpe is not finished in terms of plants. �This will not doubt take a couple of growing seasons, especially for the plant schribs to mature. To complete the project I am awaiting delivery of wood to build an addtional deck (at ground level) under the existing and out in a "L" to bridge the existing stone work. This will give us the back and left side of the tub surrounded by a wooden deck.

The cover will be replaced with a grey one, although the shipping box indicated grey it definitely was not. �Same goes for the the color of steps, they will match the cabinet. �Details, details.....

Henryk,

Beautiful setup you have there. That will look very nice once it is all completed. I really like the Cameo with the Gray cabinet, so good choice there. Once the gray cover is on, it will look great. Congrats again!

Their is really no way for you to know this, but underneath that synthetic cabinet is a fiberglass frame with ridiculously heavy doors that have a metal frame. That spa contains an insane amount of fiberglass underneath it, which with that cabinet off looks VERY impressive. Im actually impressed it only took three to deliver it. I usually send four to five.

Yeah, just look at the guys. They look exhausted!

Your not joking, this tub weighs in at 1000lbs dry...took four of us....ur right another guy would have been better.

�We had the panels off and you wanna talk about a tub that built tough, absolute soild...only piece of wood I saw was what the motors are mounted on and that was even pressure treated....no rot potential here! �Have a look with the panels off, you'll also see a portion of the Onzen system...

Hey Henry very nice setup, the tub and the back yard are gorgeous. Let me know how you make out with the Onzen.
Thanks,

Pete

...."underneath that synthetic cabinet is a fiberglass frame with ridiculously heavy doors that have a metal frame. That spa contains an insane amount of fiberglass underneath it"...."this arctic tub weighs in at 1000lbs dry"

wow sounds pretty solid!

is that weight significantly more than other top tub makers?

Nice looking tub! My first time seeing an Arctic tub. One thing though? Where is the insulation? :-?

Only by 150 to 200 lbs compared to Jacuzzi, still looks well built!

I'm sure that was just a joke, but I will answer it anyways. Arctic uses a perimeter heat lock method for insulation. In that picture, one of the access doors was removed so you can see the inside. On the door, there is 4-5 inches of insulation. as well as all on the floor, and all the walls and corners of the spa. Looks something like this:
