← Project registerSpa placement over a hinterland home
A 620 kg acrylic spa flown over a two-storey home into a rear deck with a 3.2 m gate and no side access.
01
The constraint
The only street frontage was a steep cul-de-sac with a 3.2 m side gate and no crane standing.
The rear deck sat 6 m above natural ground on a falling block.
Removing fencing and retaining to walk the spa in would have cost more than the spa.

“Cheaper than pulling the fence down, and the garden was untouched.”
