How to Measure Your Spa Cover
To ensure you receive the right spa cover, it's important to accurately measure your hot tub. Here's a step-by-step guide from Cedar Mountain Manufacturing LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you'd like a printable form with instructions, feel free to contact us.
What Is a Skirt & How Do I Measure One?
The skirt of your cover is the flap of vinyl that hangs down from the bottom of the cover, covering the exposed part of your spa's shell. It plays a vital role in insulation. To measure the skirt:
- Measure from the bottom of your cover to 1/2" to 1" below the spa's shell.
- If your spa is in-ground and the cover sits flush with the deck, no skirt is necessary—just put N/A.
Fastener: How Long Should My Fasteners Be?
To measure fastener length:
- Measure from the bottom of the cover (not the skirt) to where the strap attaches to the clip.
- We place fasteners on the ends of the cover, 12" in from each side, unless you specify otherwise.
- Our Side-Release Buckles come with both the buckle (female side) and clip (male side) with 2 keys.
How Do I Measure My Round Corners?
To measure rounded corners:
- Place two straight edges (like a carpenter's square or broom handles) against your tub or old cover to form a square corner around the rounded one.
- Measure from the corner where the straight edge meets the tub, along the straight edge, to where the edge and the tub meet. (For example, a 12" rounded corner would be 12" along the straight edge).
