| Ok So you have this huge thing that has to be opened up for you to enjoy using it. Well consider a cover lifter to take the weight of the cover and stow it in such a way that dirt and grass don't get transferred back into the spa. We currently offer two different kinds of cover lifters |
| The Cover Valet comes in two different sizes ,those spa covers less than 84 inches and those above 84 inches. The Cover Valet uses hydraulic struts to carry the spa into it's upright position. There is a simple mechanism that locks into place. You can open and close the cover with just two fingers. Not fitting every spa out there it does work very well with Rectangle,Square and Rounded Corner Spas. Needs 12 Clearance behind spa for proper clearance. Installed, the price including labor $389.00 |
| The Cover lifter shown at right uses a simple Pivot system that uses a base plate that slides under the spa (requires draining to install) works well even with 15 " cut back corners. It needs 20" clearance behind the spa Price $269.00 Installed |
Cover Order Check list:
Having supplied covers for my customers for the
last fifteen years,aside from the order form there
are several things to take into consideration.
1) is there a gazebo over the spa, does the cover open
without hitting the rafters?
2) Is there shrubbery in proximity to the cover that might as
it grows damage the cover?
3)Should Gussets be cut into the skirting(the flap that
goes around the perimeter of the cover) to assist in the
cover sealing properly?
4)The Wind Straps.. how many and where do you want
them located?
5) Not all covers are Symmetrical the direction a cover
folds will depend on egress (getting in and out of the spa)
Whether or not you take the cover off or simply fold it back.
The direction of the hinge is refereed to as Split Long
dimension or Split Short dimension.
Rounded corners are a nice detail giving the cover that
professional finished appearance but finding the radius
can be tricky with multiple shell contours to consider. I
use the extreme out side dimension because the flap or
skirting will follow that edge. If in doubt about the radius
always go with the smaller number,
6) Colors The colors are UV Rated to resist fading No one
color has the ability to assist in the heat up of the spa. If
you are above the snow line the darker covers help melt
the snow
7) Dogs, small children, Bar-B-Q pot lucks and painting
contractors should never use the cover for other than what
it was intended.
