- I built this hot tub base for only $200. Lumber was most of that cost. I used 4 x 6s, 6 inch lag bolts, and 2 tons of Breeze (crushed granite) that I wet and tampered. Breeze is a crushed material made from granite. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a base for pavers, patios, and flagstone materials, or for filling gaps in walkways and making pathways. Breeze is inexpensive, easy to grade, and compacts well.

LOL predrill the holes for the lag bolts and get an impact
Had to get the job done right then and there and only had limited tools! Sometimes you do what you gotta go haha
@@The-DIY-GuideI just did the same thing lol. Got smart half way through and started pre drilling
Lag bolts are too short
They are fine and the project is holding together very nicely. Thank you for watching
Not a good choice for the base of a hot tub. Recommend crushed gravel instead; it will settle less.
We packed it. It’s as hard as concrete
Sand doesn't drain very well and can shift with weight. Gravel overcomes these issues.
@@BrysonRast I didnt use sand though.
@@The-DIY-Guidebut you didn't say in the video what you used. Not very helpful of a DYI Guide if we don't know what you used.
@@Imavet15 it is called “Breeze”. It is crushed granite. Got it from the local material yard
Just some "constructive" feedback, pun intended... the moment I saw you just bend over the spike and leave it was the moment you lost all credibility. Good luck with your future videos!
I pulled it out at the end. Was racing a thunderstorm and had all my gravel in the parking lot. Had to hurry to prevent it from all washing away in the rain. Made it by a few mins.
How is the hot tub settling?
Dont you have a level?
3/4 stone would have been the better choice, fine sand on top doesnt allow for proper drainage.
