How we build hot-tub decking in Hatfield
150×47mm C24 joists at 300mm centres over doubled bearers under the tub footprint; hot-tub area calculated to 400kg/m² loaded. On Hatfield jobs we adjust for uniform new-build estates mean visual consistency across runs is important to keep frontages looking right.
Property mix locally: post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages. Typical gardens: compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences. Postcodes we regularly service: AL9, AL10.
Where hot-tub decking isn't the right answer
- — very large commercial-spec spas that need a poured slab, not a timber deck
- — properties with no access for delivery of a filled tub after the deck is complete
