Preparation and Additional Costs
Here are a few things to consider in your decision they
either provided additional cost or hard work on my part.
Electrical: You'll most likely need a dedicated 50 amp
circuit with a breaker box in plain view of the tub. In our
case this meant digging a 36 inch deep trench from the garage
to the gazebo (50 feet) so the electrician could run the
conduit. The cost of the electrical work was about $1000.00 and
I had to dig the trench myself. My buddy did his own electrical
and still spent $500.00 in parts so keep that in mind.
Cement: I also needed a new cement slab to accommodate my
tub and gazebo. We put in a 14x15 slab to accomplish this. What
I did not consider was that cement has gone way up in price
since my last 10x10 slab. We spent almost $2000.00 for the
labor and materials to have this poured. What I also did not
consider was the work of removing the grass from that area.
This took three days of exhausting work cutting strips of sod
and hauling them to the disposal site.
