A practical starting point

The 4-inch center tapers to a 2-inch edge to encourage water runoff. This is the starting insulation level in our range, with two-pound-density foam and a cover made to your confirmed measurements.

R-value measures resistance to heat flow. Actual heat loss also depends on cover fit, condition, weather, and how you use your spa.

Made to fit. Finished your way.

Choose your shape, dimensions, vinyl color, and skirt length in our guided builder. A standard 3-inch skirt covers the spa lip; select the length your spa needs when ordering.

All three thicknesses are available in our vinyl colors. The photograph shows an example, not a color exclusive to this model.

Before you order

Covers generally take 7–14 days to build, plus 3–7 days in transit. Pricing includes a freight allowance within the contiguous United States. Any additional freight charge is calculated in the cart using your delivery ZIP code.

Covers ship by freight truck and require suitable truck access. Remote or limited-access locations may involve additional charges. Review shipping and delivery policies.

Your cover is made to your confirmed specifications. Check your measurements and review the custom-cover terms before ordering.

The details beneath the vinyl

Built for more than keeping leaves out.

Insulation, reinforcement, and safety-cover classification all matter. Here is what goes into each of our three cover thicknesses.

UL Classified manual safety cover

Need a safety cover for your spa inspection?

Spa Guy’s bi-fold covers are UL Classified as manual safety covers in accordance with ASTM F1346. The classification label identifies that certification—an important distinction when your inspector requires evidence of safety-cover compliance.

Confirm your local requirements with your building inspector before ordering. Install and secure the cover according to the supplied instructions.

A tapered core for water runoff

This model measures 4 inches at the center and 2 inches at the edge. The slope helps rainwater run off rather than collect on top.

Its insulation rating is R-20. Higher R-values indicate greater resistance to heat flow; fit, condition, and weather also affect heat loss.

Foam profile tapering from 4 inches to 2 inches
Tapered foam profile
Two-pound-density foam

Our inserts use virgin expanded-polystyrene foam at a density of two pounds per cubic foot. Density describes the material itself, not the total weight of the cover.

All three models use this same foam density. A thicker core provides the higher insulation ratings available in the 5-inch and 6-inch options.

Heat-sealed moisture protection

Each foam insert is enclosed in a heat-sealed 4-mil plastic vapor barrier. This layer helps protect the insulating foam from moisture inside the cover.

The barrier is a separate protective layer beneath the outer vinyl skin.

Aluminum reinforcement

Aluminum C-channel reinforces the foam inserts along the center of the cover. It adds support while keeping the reinforcing structure lightweight.

Aluminum does not rust like steel, making it useful in the damp environment around a spa.

Spa Hyde vinyl and color choices

The outer skin uses 28-ounce Spa Hyde® vinyl formulated for spa-cover use, with resistance to mildew and UV exposure.

Choose the color that suits your spa and its surroundings. See current vinyl colors and swatches. Colors can appear different on a screen.

Reinforced handles and hold-down straps

Handles and hold-down straps use double-X stitching at their attachment points, with ozone- and chemical-resistant thread.

These reinforced areas support the parts you use when opening and securing the cover.

Four lockable tie-downs

Each cover includes four lockable tie-down straps, keys, and mounting hardware. The straps attach the cover to the spa when it is closed.

Install, fasten, and lock the hardware as directed. An unsecured or improperly secured cover is a hazard; keep children away and follow all label warnings.

Heat seals at the fold

Heat seals, sometimes called steam stoppers, help close the gaps at the ends of the fold and reduce heat escaping through the hinge area.

This feature is included across all three insulation levels.

A skirt to cover the spa lip

A standard 3-inch skirt hangs below the foam edge to cover the spa lip. The skirt continues around the corners, with extensions at the hinge area.

Skirt length is separate from foam thickness. Choose the skirt length your spa needs in the cover builder.
