Suppose you want to build a spa on a wood deck?
Duchess asked:
The deck is to be built 4ft above level ground. It is to be 50ft by 30ft and is to contain a spa that is circular with a 14ft diameter. the spa is 4ft deep. /assuming that the spa itself weighs 550lbs. How much water will the spa contain and how much will it weigh? Also, what materials would I need for this project?

The key to this would be the pounds per square foot that the spa places on the deck. This information should be available online at your spa manufacturer's website, or at the spa dealer. It should take into account the spa, the water, and the people inside.
Your deck must be rated for the weight listed by the manufacturer. Once you get the weight rating, you can determine what materials you need. Your local home improvement center will be able to assist you on this.
If I read your question correctly, you are building your own spa? If this is the case, figure the empty weight plus 8 pounds per gallon of water, plus the amount of persons it will be holding.
