Incredible Deck With Built in Hot Tub - Full Backyard Makeover Time Lapse
What happens here
With the concrete pad in place, the hot tub is carefully moved and lowered into its designated recess within the deck frame. This requires multiple workers to lift and position the heavy unit. Simultaneously, wooden posts (likely 4x4 or 6x6 pressure-treated lumber) are installed around the hot tub area, which will later support a pergola structure and provide visual definition.
Goal: Integrate the hot tub into the deck structure and erect the main pergola support posts.
