I want to put a 7x7 hot tub in corner of my yard, but have a problem: The 7x7 footprint will protrude about 6" onto the already-existing pool deck, which (obviously) is slightly sloped away from the pool. Do I need to cut out a part of that deck to accommodate the full square pad, or would it be okay to just make the pad level with the existing deck, with the one corner of it consisting of the existing deck?
