Here is just the set up of my hot tub. This hot tub was purchase at arctic spas and the slabs used around the tub were bought from Van Beeks if I recall correctly for about $10 a slab. Overall installation of the tub was easy. The only prep required was that the floor was level. This was accomplished by ripping up the grass and putting gravel on...
