 Post subject: Installing Tub on Sloped Patio

The patio where I want to install my tub is purposely sloped away from the house for drainage. I know the tub needs to be perfectly level. How has everyone else dealt with this issue? It probably slopes around 2-2.5 inches across 8 feet.

Options that I can think of are:

1. Pick up patio blocks and try to flatten the patio area out where the tub would go.

2. Put the tub on some pressure treated wooden shims. This may not provide the support the tub needs.

3. Build a small wooden structure (like a 7' x 7') deck that is angled and place the tub on that.

Thanks for any help!

You can build and angled frame, make it the exact size of the tub, then fill it with a gravel. Just spread it evenly. The gravel will allow any water or moisture to drain out, plus it will support the tub evenly. And it doesn't have to be dead perfect. The worst thing would be the water levels would be higher on one side if it's out a whole lot. As long as it's not too noticeable it'll be close enough.
