Spa on a wood deck 1

[knucklenitz]

Hello-

I have an existing wood deck made of 2x6's on pier blocks with 4x4 joists. The pier blocks are approximately every 32 inches. There was a small hot tub on this deck previously but I would like to upgrade to a much larger tub that will be about 5400lbs full (including occupants). Any ideas if the deck is built to support this kind of weight?
