lbianchi1 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Newbie here....some friend of mine gave me an 8 x 8 ft hot tub just to take it out of his yard. The what was one time the frame was rotting away, so I decided to trash all the wood and build a new one. No where on line can I find anything close to diagrams or prints of this. It's like it was tabu...only found in dark coners of the world. Can anyone suggest where I can obtain information on this build? or did I just put a PINK elephant in my garage? Please help!!!!

rusty-D Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 you should have save the rotten pieces and copy them to your new wood,, well i guess is too late for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15DOC Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 You could head over to a dealer and measure the dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerimiahR Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm guessing you should probably determine the brand, model, and year of the spa first. Might help you with getting any assistance with diagrams of anything in relation to your particular hot tub. Generally speaking though, I doubt you'll find detailed diagrams showing you exactly how to rebuild the frame of the spa itself. That's not something that's really done much in my experience.

Tanod Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My new neighbour doesn't know it yet but he has a rotting frame to his 8 year old hot tub too .. I'm not getting involved because I want to stay out of it as the previous owner knew about it. Is there anything he can do once he discovers it though?

On YouTube, there are some Cal spa videos of the manufacturing process that show the frame exposed. It looks fairly basic. No dimensions, but based on what I saw, you could easily recreate one. Remember to use pressure treated lumber though, and look into adding a bottom plate to reduce/stop moisture leaching up through the bottom.

hrustar Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Also check out this link for a nice photo of the frame exposed. http://www.calspas.com/heated_pool_hot_tub.asp?page=76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoodman Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 A cabinet maker will easily figure it out. It is easier to flip it upside down and work on it. Post a pic. of the tub. I rebuilt the frame on my octegon tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
