Maxxus New Installation, The Deck

Hi,

I just inherited a used Maxxus and moved it to my back yard yesterday. A nightmare in itself, but it's here.

I'm going to start building the wooden enclosure around the base this weekend. The original owner had it so that the base was just high enough so that the insulation was sitting on the cement slab and supporting the majority of the weight. Since I'm building from scratch, should I do the same or would it be better to make it so that the insulation was lifted off the slab by an inch or so (giving some room for air circulation) which would mean the entire weight of the spar would be supported by the fiberglass rim around the spar (or is this rim typically not strong enough to support this amount of weight).

Thanks

Steven

The base is always the strongest part of the hot tub. Plus it will be the center of gravity. Make sure you have more supports in the middle as compared to the side. Once filled that spa will have a lot of weight.

Good luck
