Measure

A Division of International Design Resource, Inc. San Diego, Ca.

Instructions for proper spa cover measurement:

1) Select the shape below that represents your spa style to use as a measure guide.

Square or Rectangle Rounded Corners

Square or Rectangle Knife Edge Corners

Octagon (8 equal sides)

Hexagon (6 equal sides)

Round

Square or Rectangle 4 Cut Corners

Square or Rectangle

2 Cut Corners A

Square or Rectangle 1 Cut Corner A

2) Measure each required dimension edge to edge (shown below) in inches at the widest point. Round up every measurement to the nearest full inch. A good rule of thumb is that if a cover is slightly too big, it will probably work fine. If it’s a little too small, it will not work.

Be sure that you get measurement in relation to the fold right!

If your Spa Cabinet has a Decorative Rail as illustrated below right. You may wish the cover to extend wide enough to cover the rail. In this case, measure edge of rail to edge of rail.

3) Measure the skirt. This is best done by measuring spa cover skirt as shown below. Typically the skirt is just long enough to cover the acrylic part of the spa above the cabinet. Please note that cover skirts help protect the acrylic (thick plastic) part of your spa from harmful UV rays so it is important that they hang down enough to cover the acrylic. If your spa is an in ground installation or has a rail or cover lift that sticks out from the cabinet under the acrylic, you must be sure that your measurement is not too long to avoid bunching of the skirt.

Edge to Edge “L x W” Measure

Corner to Corner Diagonal Measure

Skirt Measure

Generally no more than 1/4” past the acrylic

4) Tie Down Strap Measure. Start your measure from the top of the skirt on your existing cover

down to the point where the strap meets the clip. (Do not include the clip itself) In order to meet standard safety ratings, we must ship your cover with tie down straps. So, if you have a flush mount installation, you can order straps as short as 1” longer than your skirt.

7” standard straps will be included if no length is entered.

Skirt Measure for

In Ground / Flush Mount

Be sure the skirt length measure is no longer than from the top edge of the acrylic to the deck. Otherwise unattractive bunching of the skirt will result

Skirt Measure for Spa Cabinet with Decorative Rail

Option 1) Measure for skirt from the top of the acrylic to the top of the rail.

Option 2) Measure for skirt from top of acrylic to desired length below the rail. This will require your edge to edge measures to be from edge of rail to edge of rail rather than the acrylic edges.
