We have been advised to do 150mm compacted road base, 20mm sand bed and pave on top. Will this be okay for the spa to sit on ? Another contractor wanted to pour a 100mm slab with footing but said we could not do it over the storm water easment of the 2 mtrs. What are thoughts or any suggestions ? Appreciate any feedback Thanks Re: Paving under a 2.3m square Portable Spa 2Aug 06, 2019 8:05 pm Either would be ok. Easements are only a problem for permanent buildings, slabs should be ok. If well drained and compacted soil the roadbase might be ok. Given it is over a pipe and hence fill and under a wet spa, a slab will be more reliable long term. Best is 100mm with SL72 mesh at a push you could use 80mm with SL52. You would direct stick with tile adhesive but could use 20mm thick tiles and leave the area under the spa to save $. cheers Pulse No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6473 I had 28m2 of engineered pavers laid six months back and it was difficult to find someone not taking the pi$$. Internet suggested it should be $85-100/m2 to lay them.… 3 13018 |
