The metal hoops
One of the hoops should be placed at
the same height as the bottom, and
the other should be placed 15 cm from
the future top edge of the hot tub.
Measure where the hoops should be
fitted, and drive four screws for each
hoop in the sides of the hot tub. These
screws will support the hoops while you
are fitting them around the tub. Screw
one of the bolted joints to one side of
the hoop and insert the threaded bar
with the screws being as close to the
ends of the bar as possible. Place the
hoop on the supporting screws and
use a C-clamp to fix the end having
the joint. The C-clamp should be fitted
about 50 cm from the joint. Tighten the
hoop manually around the tub. Draw
a line on the hoop to indicate where
the other bolted joint should be fitted.
The threaded bar should reach 5 mm
through the hole of the other bolted
joint.
Remove the hoop and cut it into
length using an abrasive cut-off
wheel. Break off sharp edges on the
hoop and the piece that was cut away.
