Outdoor spa and deck - build and installation

This weekend our spa area was finally completed. The glass pool fence is now up so now we are ready to have it all inspected by the surveyor. This is what it looks like viewed from our bedroom window. The sides of the deck still have to be dressed and we are considering what to do here. I want to avoid having more merbau and it needs to be easily removable in case we need to access the sides of the spa.

Below are photos of the build progress. Deck built by hubby, spa is from Spa-Rite and pool fencing by Peninsula Glass Balustrading.

The spa slab all boxed up. They put a lot of steel in there but I didn't get a photo of that. 

The slab. 

The spa being delivered. 

Our deck timber and concrete delivery. The truck had to offload it at the top of the vacant block next door and we had to carry it all down the hill - approx 45m downhill! So much timber and so many bags of concrete - 50 bags in total. 

The stumps for the deck. I didn't get photos of the footings. 

Deck construction continues. 

Merbau decking was laid. 

Glass pool fence was installed today and now we have to phone the surveyor to inspect and hopefully sign off on the permit. 

The finished product! 

I'm looking forward to wasting many days and nights in this spa :)
