Deck to hold hot tub
Hi
I've been asked to build a 15' x 12' wooden deck to hold a hot tub. Most of the joists can rest on a small retaining wall, a concrete slab and a wall plate fixed to the garage wall. The tub holds 1300 + litres of water & up to 6 adults, so adding the (as yet unknown) weight of the tub itself I could be looking at 2 tonnes here. Would I increase the strength much by spacing the joists at 12" rather than 16" or would extra noggins be a better bet? Cost isn't the major issue, I just want to make sure it's strong enough. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
