82.5" x 82.5" Black Fabric Hot Tub Cover

Measuring Your Lid / Spa

If you want a more comprehensive measuring guide - or a print off then we have produced a measuring guide & radius chart which will guide you through easily measuring for your new hot tub lid.

Cover or Spa? Which should I measure?

If your current cover fits perfectly, then measure the cover, there is nothing better. However, if your cover is waterlogged, warped, or misshapen, you should measure your spa as well to ensure the new lid fits properly.

Should I pick a larger cover?

Many sites offer this, but we distribute and stock covers so we think a good fit is better, not necessarily for functionality but for aesthetics. An overhang of 0.75" per side is negligible in our experience, anything larger, we would not recommend, obviously never order a smaller cover?

Measuring A Spa

Measuring A Cover

Never measure the exact hinge as it is typically 1”shorter than the actual lid.

If your spa has radius corners, then to correctly measure the corner radius use a carpenter’s square or use our radius template downloadable at our website. The key is not to make the radius too big, when in doubt take the smaller measurement.

Have a look at the movie in the photo gallery to see how to measure up for a new lid

Measuring the Skirt & Straps

The skirt protects the acrylic of your spa from UV damage, so it’s important that the skirt covers the acrylic. If your spa has a rail that sticks out from the cabinet under the acrylic, most people extend the skirt down past the rail. If you do this, be sure the cover is wide enough around so that the skirt can hang straight down.

Please measure cover safety straps from the bottom of the cover down to where the strap meets the clip (don’t include the clip itself).

We provide both parts of the strap fixings but more often than not resiting them slightly gives greater strength rather than using the existing screw holes.

Please see the photo gallery for the strap position diagram.
