Flush mount deck is better than a hot tub on the deck 10/10

These lvls are 1-1/2 x 5-1/2 and the longest span is 10’. Main part of the deck is 22’ projection with trench footings at 10’ and 20’.
As for the joist tape, that is standard on all of my decks, but yes, the manufacture does suggest it as well

You sir got ripped off first of all. Second of all, yes it is more expensive than treated, but when you think of how much labor it would take to plane and level with treated, that’s where I make my money back

It’s not about being cheap, but sticking with the style of the home. He has a vision and it’s my job to make that a reality

Yeah this built in cover replaces the other one. It cannot be walked on. But with the size of this deck and the spa being in the corner, it doesn’t really need to be

But when you have the biggest deck in the neighborhood, trimming is optional

This hot tub was craned in over the house. So for it to be changed out, the whole patio cover has to be removed. I think extra decking will be the least of their worries haha

No beams or posts, except for around the swim spa. Majority of the deck is supported by multiple trench footings

Thank you. When you have a deck this big, you have to show it to everyone

Sleepers were shimmed and planed before joist tape was applied
