How Much Should I Pay For A Spa Cover? With so many spa cover companies to choose from, how do I decide? When purchasing a new spa cover you should ALWAYS have the option to make it custom! You may be able to call your local pool supply and find one in stock but it is probably one that another customer ordered and did not pick up. For example you may be looking for a 96" square cover with rounded corners in Blue. The pool supply has a 96" square cover but it doesn't have the radius corners.

Things to consider when purchasing a new spa cover / hot tub cover | Spa Covers Etc.

Things to consider when purchasing a new spa cover What Size Cover? Standard Shape or Irregular Shape? Portable spas / hot tubs are made in a variety of sizes and shapes. It is important to have the cover fit properly in order to retain heat and keep debris and moisture out of the spa. Spas that measure 96" x 96" or smaller use a typical two-piece design containing two panels sewn together and fold in half. The foam core is 48" wide x 96" long.

The third panel attaches with a Velcro flap for convenience. If the

Over time, the weight of the water puddling on the cover will cause the foam core to sag (bow) into the spa, exacerbating the problem ever more because the water begins to wick in
