We had a concrete slab poured outside our Florida room. Later on, we applied for ARC approval to install a hot tub and the 220VAC electrical feed. It was approved by ARC. We then purchased a hot tub and had it delivered.

Our hot tub sits outside on the slab without a birdcage. We obtained an ARC approval for a pergola, and then subsequently purchased one from Lowes. It was a free standing, metal pergola (i.e., not connected to the house). No county permit was required since it did not attach to the house. The electrician then obtained the county permit for the electrical work, followed by the electrical hook up. The electrician also electrically bonded the pergola to the hot tub. I understand that is required by code. It was a fairly easy process.
