Hopper Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi All, I'm a new and novice owner of a previously used redwood hot tub. I need to prep a place for it in my highly challenging San Francisco back yard. I have no access except through the house and the backyard is very, very sloped. I don't have a lot of options to get concrete back there so I would like to hear about people's expience using pavers or stone as the base for the wooden tub. As an aside: 1) I'd like to know what kind of brush I could use to periodically scrub the inside of the tub when there is lignen or other build-up. 2) I'd like to potentially restore the finish of the tub prior to re-installation. Any tips? Thanks!! -Hopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Spa Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Pavers or stone is a BAD idea. The slightest uneven settling can cause the tub to shift and leak. If you can get pavers or stone into the back yard, you can also carry 60# bags of concrete in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
