hot tubs 3 person image
Geege
I'm planning on pouring a 7x7 concrete pad for a hot tub. I dont know exactly what type of concrete to buy and do i need to re-enforce the 4" of concrete any further. I'm planning on just digging into the ground 4 inches and then filling it up with the concrete. Dont care how it looks because the hot tub will be surrounded by a deck and you wont see the bottom.

My brother and I did this two years ago for his "tubby" in the California Sierra Nevada foothills
We went down to clay (3"), put down an inch of pea-gravel, put up a 2x4 pour frame, suspended wire mesh at half-depth, poured the concrete, screeded and finished the surface
That has lasted just fine for two icy and snowy winters with a FULL tubby. We plan to do the deck this winter, since we have had other projects sucking away money (barn and fencing, irrigation, and a swamp-cooler).
Good Luck !!

How much can I expect a hot tub to cost?

I am looking for a nice 6 person hot tub w/ an ipod hook up.
No website will give me an estimate.
Answer
An outdoor tub needs to be installed on a level deck or concrete pad. Building a wooden deck can add $500 -$15,000 or more to the total cost, depending on size and complexity; a concrete pad can run $1,000 -$3,000 or more. If the installation site isn't already correctly wired or plumbed, adding an electrical outlet can add $75 -$800 to the total cost, and can be $1,000 -$2,000 or more for extensive electrical and plumbing trenching and installation.
Installing a spa indoors means being able to use it in all weather and with complete privacy, but you need a room with extra ventilation and humidity controls, and a water-proof flooring such as tile. Costs will depend on the extent of remodeling needed.
An in-ground outdoor spa averages about $15,000 -$20,000 or more, according to Better Homes & Gardens.
