Hard to think about using a hot tub when it’s this hot outside, but at least it looks good all year!
What happens here
After the hot tub is in place, the wooden substructure for the deck is built around it. This involves cutting and assembling pressure-treated lumber to create the frame that will support the decking boards. The framing includes joists and beams designed to create a seamless transition from the ground level around the hot tub to the main deck surface. Specific attention is paid to creating a strong, level frame that precisely fits the dimensions of the hot tub, ensuring proper support and integration.
Goal: Build the wooden structural frame for the integrated deck
