Hello all-
I was wondering what the opinions are out there on raising the support height of a tub deck I am building for a new whirlpool bath. My dillema is that the tub sits at approx 20" in height out of the box, but I want the set height to be 24" so the granite deck can "flow" into the shower area to form a comfortable height ledge top for seating.
Can 2 2x4's nailed together and spaced 12 inches on center across 3/4 inch substrate provide the type of new support I would require - or should this puppy absolutely sit on a floor of some kind (like adding a concrete base, or more 3/4 ply layered to raise the height)?
