This extra thickness adds greatly to the life-span, and virtually eliminates any posibility of future warping of the wood. Most importantly though, the extra thickness give our tubs up to twice the insulating value of thinner tubs. The 5' bench has 8 sections and the 6'and 7' benches have 12 sections. The benches are supported by 2 x 4's which are attached to the sides of the tub. We call the bench a 'full circle' and no part of it touches the floor, thereby allowing your feet complete freedom under the bench.
All benches come complete with stainless steel screws for fastening to the tub.
