All I can go on is my experienced based upon the 18 years I've owned a hot tub and we have never had that problem.

If the patio is laid correctly in the first place there is no reason why there should be an issue.
Hi,

I got that and you are correct, well constructed decking, should never have an issue.

But we have had to demolish and rebuild 2 decking's caused by poor construction coupled with weight of hot tubs.

We have ours on a wooden deck specially built with extra joists - it's a 6 person tub so fairly heavy, it's been down for 7 years.

When we've hired cottages etc. with hot tubs they've all been on slabbed bases.
