I am so close to completion on my rear garden plans, pond built (I have other problems finishing that, best for a separate post), all the framework of the landscape in, power run underground, inside of the house remodelling very much getting towards knocking out big doors into the back garden but now find myself stuck finding a hot tub supplier that are willing to place the hot tub where I want it!
There was a block built 3.4x3m shed that never had a proper roof on it thus it was moldy and destroyed. I cut it down, retaining some of the wall, and just finished building a polycarbonate roof. I have created a 300 x 116cm clear gap in the front which I thought a tub would go in there just fine. The wall including the wooden top is 90cm high. Trouble is, EVERY hot tub company ranging from a 4k to 12k tub I am considering simply will not entertain getting one in there. Some say the roof needs to come off, others wont tilt it never mind roll it on it's side, and the rest insist I have to demolish the front wall to get it in!
A very specific tub I am interested in is the Hot Springs ("Portable spa") Flair 5 person tub... certainly on the high end of my budget. It weighs 400KG dry weight and is 2x2m x about 90cm high. They say it cant be delivered without the wall taking down, something I do not believe... yet they also want £100 ("refundable") "deposit", to come out to take a look. Does this not sound like an absolutely ludicrous way to get over £10k of business? I think my eyesight and measuring skills are perfectly fine, the path to the spa house is quite ample, I can literally pave the way with all the slabs waiting to go down, make ramps, ... etc.
I have all the floor leveler, tiles, dashing to do the outside, but I'm stuck with what to do now.
Does the insistence on taking down walls etc sound unreasonable to anyone else, or is it just me?
