Turn your attention to the tops of the staves. They should

be lined up nicely giving a smooth interior. If any need

alignment, use the mallet to hit them inward or outward

to bring them into adjustment. Do another revolution of

hitting each stave a little harder now as the bottom strap is

tightened. Don't be afraid to hit hard. Continue

tightening. The tub will come together and gaps will be

getting smaller.

Now do a final tightening - but don't over-do it. The

bottom strap is pressing against the floor on the inside, so

it will reach a point where you can tell it is tight - don't

force it beyond that. Use vise grip pliers to clamp onto

the aluminum block that the bolt passes through to keep

it from twisting as you do the final tightening. Stop when

you see noticeable deflection of the aluminum blocks.

This indicates bottom strap is tight enough. The upper

straps don't need to be as tight as the bottom. If it feels

tight, it is. Do a final adjustment on the top of the staves

at this time. Remember - the wood will swell to tighten

all joints once water is introduced.

TIP: If you happen to have a torque wrench – the bottom

strap should be tightened to about 40 lbs of torque, the

upper ones to about 25 lbs of torque.

Next climb inside the tub and remove the temporary floor

braces. With a tube of clear silicone caulk, place a very

small ( ¼" ) neat bead all around the inside corner where

the floor and the staves meet. Use your finger or a

rounded piece of wood like a tongue depressor to smooth

the bead. Also put a very small bead on the top of the

floor seam. The purpose of the silicone is to slow the

initial seepage from the dry tub - allowing the wood to

absorb more water and swell more quickly. Your tub will

hold water as a result of the expansion of the wood,

causing the joints to compress.

Your tub is now ready for installation of the heating

system and any other accessories.

Section 10: Accessories

1. Install any accessories in this order:

2. Heating system - see separate instructions for your

type of heater

3. Benches - see below

4. Access Steps - see below

10.1: Benches

The bench system is simple. They each sit on two end

brackets attached to the walls, and once support in the

middle attached to the floor.

Fig. 10.1.1 Rest the benches on top of the tub to attach the

bench-end supports

Start the 2" screws into the brackets and attach the centre

support to the bottom of the bench (Fig. 10.1.3).

Fig. 10.1.2 Attach bench brackets with supplied 2" screws.

Make sure that the bench brackets are flush with the ends,

and about ¾" back from the front edge of the benches.
