Deciding What To Measure
When it comes to purchasing a replacement hot tub cover, taking proper measurement is the key to receiving the perfect product.

If any of the following apply to you, measure your existing cover:
- Cover must be in decent condition. Natural wear and tear is fine.
- Cover has not warped, become waterlogged, or changed shape since its purchase.
- You are happy with the way the current cover fits.
If any of the following apply to you, measure your hot tub:
- You have no existing cover.
- Your current cover is warped, has become waterlogged, or changed shape since its purchase.
- Unhappy with the way your current cover fits.
How to Measure
Round up measurements to the nearest half inch or inch. A cover that is 1-2 inches too large will fit just fine but a cover that is too small will decrease the insulation. If your measurements are close to being perfectly square (ie: 78.5” x 78”), it probably is a perfect square.
Where to Measure
Choose which installation type looks most like yours:
Classic spa cabinets
Measure the widest points on the acrylic lip shown by the arrows.
Spa cabinets with top rail
Measure the widest points on the top rail shown by the arrows.
In ground spas
Measure the widest points above ground shown by the arrows.
Choose a Shape and Measure
Choose which installation type looks most like yours: Hot tubs come in various shapes and sizes. Use our comprehensive chart to select the right dimensions for your spa.
Choosing a Fold/Hinge
Understanding the folds and hinges of spa covers is crucial. Select the appropriate fold that suits your setup.
- An "A Fold" splits the A dimension in half.
- A "B Fold" splits the B dimension in half.
- For a perfectly square cover, no fold/hinge is needed.
- Determine the location of the control panel; covers usually fold away from it.
- The longer side typically gets folded in half, but not always.
- Check for obstructions (e.g., fence) that might affect how the cover opens and closes.

Safety Straps
Reinforced, color-matched straps designed to withstand high winds and heavy use.

Double-stitched seams and hinges to ensure your cover lasts for years.
Other Guys
Their cheap handles are more prone to wear and tear and are known to rip off within the first two years plus the appearance speaks for itself.
Our competition uses low-quality straps that are prone to breakage and often times do not match the color of the spa cover.
Their use of single stitching and exposed shells can ultimately cause cracking and heat loss, costing you more on your electric bill.
