When measuring your spa for a new cover there are a few things to keep in mind. First is that the measurements you provide to us are exactly what we will make your spa cover. We do not add anything to the measurements or adjust them in any way to help the fit. We do review all the measurements and will contact you if something does not look right. We can not build spa covers using the make and model of your spa. Due to the way hot tubs are manufactured there is no way to insure the cover we build will match the spa in your backyard.


Should I measure my old cover or my spa?

There are several things to consider when trying to answer this question. If your old cover is in good shape and you are happy with the way it fit, measure the old cover. It is much easier to take measurements from your old spa cover and you are less likely to struggle with the tape measure. Use two people when measuring.

If your old cover is falling apart where you can't get accurate measurements from it, or you don't have an old cover to measure, you will have to get the measurements from the spa. Make sure when measure the spa you add a little bit to your measurements for some complicated shapes (cut corners) the dimension will actually get smaller by adding a little bit to the cover. If you have any questions about this call us at 866-771-4897.


My spa has a wooden lip, should I measure the spa or the wood?

This is completely up to you. Some people like the look of having the spa cover cover the lip of their spa. If you decide to cover up the wood lip, make sure to take have the skirt made long enough to cover the lip.


How long should I have the skirt made?

The skirt length is purely aesthetic. It has no bearing on the insulating factor of the cover. It is measured from the top of the spa down to where ever you would like it to end. Most covers are built to have the skirt cover the acrylic and no more.


How do I measure the corner radius?

Measurement of a corner radius is not difficult. We have however dedicated an entire page to the subject. It can be found here.


I don't see my cover shape listed in the order form.
