How to measure your hot tub cover
If the time has come for changing your hot tub cover, remember you will likely have to give you the sizes to the spa cover manufacturer. This information explains how to take those sizes, and clears up any points of confusion you may have so that you can efficiently buy a new cover. A reputable spa cover retailer will save your sizes for you which means your next order can be carried out with no measuring whatsoever!
You need to remember that spa suppliers change their cover sizes ever so slightly without changing the model number or name. Due to this, you’ll have spa cover that matches much better if you measure your own spa, rather than depending on a cover company’s template.
You should start by determining whether to measure the actual cover being replaced, or the the hot tub itself. A basic rule of thumb is, if you like the fit of the spa cover being replaced, measure it and ignore measuring the tub itself.
If the cover has been damaged or is not available, the hot tub alone should be measured. When you measure the hot tub, keep in mind you need to measure from the outside edge of the spa, directly across to the other side’s edge. At this stage in the measuring, disregard any rounded or cut corners.
After the overall length and width are established for the cover, the corner dimensions will have to be provided. There a wide range of types of corners with rounded corners being typically the most popular. You might have one corner cut, two cut, or even corners cut with raised speakers, so the options are almost endless. Fortunately nearly every configuration could be accomodated when making a custom hot tub cover.
Spa covers have a life expectancy of 4 to 10 years. No matter how you look at it, replacing the spa cover is part of the ownership of a spa. With this information in mind, put your mind at ease when contemplating the purchase of the next hot tub cover.
