Above Ground Installation
(Timber Support)
The above ground installation on an existing concrete slab can be performed by either using a combination of the
arrangement in Diagram A or using a timber support structure in lieu of the sand/cement fill as shown in Diagram B.
Build a support timber structure using heights for the seat and reclining area taken from the Spa pool. Allow 50mm
under the base for the cement support.
Carefully reconstruct the seat area, because the seat area plus the base will be taking the major share of the
weight. The reclining area will be supported where it touches the horizontal support structure.When you are satisfied
the Spa pool will sit level and be firmly supported, remove the Spa pool from the frame and mix the cement for the
base. Heap the wet cement mixture in place and position the Spa pool in the support structure. Move the Spa pool
about until it is evenly supported and level.
Complete the plumbing and structural surround after the base has set. Insulate around the Spa pool shell
where practicable.
