Cedar Hot Tub Assembly

 

Instructions 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduction:

  

Thank you for selecting a Dundalk LeisureCraft Tub!  Your 
tub will provide many years of soaking enjoyment.  
Assembly will be easier if you follow the correct sequence 
of steps and use the proper tools.    

Please take the time 

to read the instructions completely and carefully before 
starting the assembly process. 

 

 

How wooden tubs hold water:  

The tub is assembled dry.  

Because dry wood will swell a significant amount when 
saturated with water, all of the joints compress tightly, 
allowing the tub to hold water. 

  
Special note:

  It is important to keep the tub floor and side 

staves stored in a dry place until assembly time. If the tub 
gets wet prior to assembly, the wood may swell to a larger 
size making assembly much more difficult and slow the 
sealing of the tub. 

 

 

Section 1: Packing List  

Locate the packing list from the outside of the shipping 
crate to identify and confirm that all items are included.  A 
copy of the packing list is inside the packaging. See Figure 
1.1 to help identify the major parts.

Section 2: Tools and Supplies Needed  

A few basic tools and items are needed to complete the 
assembly of your new tub.  Gather what you will need 
before you start.

Section 3: Site Preparation

  

Before assembling your tub, prepare a suitable spot for it.  
Hot tubs will weigh from 1500 to 8000 lbs when full of 
water - so a stable foundation is essential.   You must 
provide for good drainage and a solid foundation.  

Outdoor installation:

  Good drainage is vital so that water 

from splashing, overflow, cleaning and draining operations 
can be carried away from the site.
