I am putting a hottub on my deck and I want to know if the deck can hold the weight. My deck is 14'x13', with green treated 2x10 joists on 16" centers, the ledger boad is a 2x10 anchored to the foundation with lag bolts ever 1' in a Z pattern, there are 2 6x6 post with concrete piles 6' down, there are 3 2x10 for a cross beam along the posts. the hottub total weight with people in it will be 6000lbs (generous). Thanks for any help.
