2) Perimeter Surfaces. The perimeter surface shall extend for 1 m (3 ft) horizontally beyond the inside walls of the pool and shall include unpaved surfaces as well as poured concrete and other types of paving.
I may have assumed wrong but I thought he meant the gridbuckofdurham said:What is a " Ground Mesh " ?
Is that every thing bonded together?
Or actual mesh

I think they're being generous, since there's not really any relief in the code such that the grid can be waived if the pad is existing. I did have a customer place their hot tub mostly over a flat Bilco-type door, so I was permitted to bond the Bilco door for use as the bonding grid.romexking said:What is everyone's opinion on placing a hot tub on an existing pad? My local inpsectors do not require the bonding grid in this instance. How about yours?

Hey that gives me an idea for product that I can have forced into the code...an 3' wide insulating mat that extends from under the tub to the 3' requirement around the tub, and is bonded to the tub.
I'm goin' to be rich I tell ya!![]()
