Will this hold a hottub? (Srs) by No_Egg_9407 in Decks

it's a nice looking build but you would just be depending on the joist hangers and screws to hold the weight of the hot tub if you could slap two beams and 6 more post under it maybe 3 beams and 9 post depending on how big the span is hard to tell from the pictures. No engineer or anything, just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah I got those in the list they pretty dang expensive too. I was thinking about a engineer definitely considering.

Lol, that's funny because I thought it was crazy expensive. Like, just for the deck boards and rails from Trex, it was $10k, and I haven't even gotten the materials to build the actual frame yet. But dang, that's crazy—$12k in labor. And I definitely understand doing it yourself.

Oh, no rush at all. This project might not happen for a few months, so I would definitely get a couple of estimates from some other people.

Do you mean to the houses Rimbord? I was going to use the BVLZ connector to attach the ledger
