Decks built to take a hot tub cost more and then advertised as such.
Up here that would require more than code so the city would have an engineers report on how it was built.
Balcony Weight Load Question
Hey guys, so I'm not a professional but I have a question. Moving into a new construction Apartment with a balcony that is about 6' wide and 15' long its built with 2x10 joists 16in on center. What is the maximum load per square foot? In Salt Lake City code is 40lb. Can I put a hottub that is 29sq ft weighing 2,000lb (hot tub, water, people). Thanks!

Either way, it takes the opinion of an engineer. The one that designed it or the one you pay to certify it. That is the only way you protect yourself from liability.To clarify this is not a full size hot tub that fits 6-8 people. This is a 150 gallon hot tub that seats 2. Thanks
