5. Make a wood plank that would serve as a support where the hot tub will be placed over. It isn’t advisable to put the hot tub directly on top of the concrete floor or bare ground. Doing so might produce cracks at the bottom of the tub because water pressure won’t be held sufficiently by the tub if it is placed on concrete that would exert more pressure. Bare ground is just too soft for the purpose.
