Custom-made Spa Covers

  • Custom-made spa covers are made in whole inch dimensions.  For example, if you order a 75-1/2" x 86-1/2" spa cover, we will round these dimensions up to 76" x 87". This will not affect the covers ability to seal and completely insulate your spa.  In this case, the cover will only be 1/4" larger than specified all the way around the spa.
