Does anyone know how they are made, can it be disassembled and
reassembled to install a new spa. Seems to be made from extruded
aluminum.

Thanks

Yes, it can. Or did it come in one big piece when you bought it?

The questions you should be asking a 1. Can this structure be
disassembled without damaging it? and 2. Can this structure be
reassembled again?

That type of structure is typically assembled with self drilling screws,
which means using the next size larger screw on reassembly if you want a
good grip. They also usually have the glazing secured with silicone
adhesive caulking which makes it a royal pain to try to remove the
glazing without damage, and equally a pain to clean the remaining caulk
off so it can be reassembled neatly. I'd look for other options for
providing access to move in the new spa if you can find any.

Good points. And when the house is sold and/or the buyer/OP wants the
spa out - what happens?! ;0

Seems like the old and new spas could be slid through the doorway on
edge fairly readily, but it's hard to tell from the pics.
