I posted this in another sub forum but think this section is more appropriate.
Hi, i'm after a bit of advice if anyone would be so kind, we are having a log cabin/summerhouse built in the back garden to use as a sensory room for our disabled son, we plan to have a hot tub in there with other things but the tub will be the main weight. The cabin is 4m x 4m and we are having a concrete base laid to support the cabin, the interior floor of the cabin will be made of 100x50mm beams at 400 apart with celotex insulation between beams, the area where the hot tub will sit will have extra bits of 100x50 between the beams at around 500mm spacing. On top of all this will sit 25mm mdf boards as the floor surface. This floor will sit directly on the concrete base.
My concern is the hot tub we are looking at is 2m round and filled is 2000kg so very heavy, would the floor we are doing support the tub?
Any advice is appreciated.
