When you go to replace your Spa Cover knowing what to measure is critical.
Many people wonder "Should I measure the size of my spa or the size of the cabinet the tub is sitting in?".
Well it's time to remove any shred of doubt.
  Almost all stand-alone whirlpools are made from an acrylic or plastic housed inside a wood or plastic cabinet.
Inside the cabinet you'll find all of the motors, hoses and pipes that make for those fun nights or relaxation.
Now there are two ways of the cover will terminate at the top.
On some spa pools the acrylic will "cap" the cabinet by completely covering the cabinet.
  The other type of spa will have the acrylic lip end on the top ledge of the spa cabinet.
These 2 methods are the most common, and will be applicable with many covers and accessories.
If you only want your whirlpool cover to protect the acrylic or plastic of your hot tub.
All you have to measure is the length and width from the outside edge of the spa pool from one side to the other side.
A cover measured in this way will have the cover's skirt measured to hang down to just touch the hot tub cabinet ledge.
Some of the other popular types of cover's will also protect the top ledge of the hot tub cabinet.
To find this all you have to measure is the outside edge of the cabinet to the other side of the cabinet.
You'll want to make sure the skirt is measured long enough to go past the lip of the cabinet.
If you choose this type of cover you have to be a little more careful because you could crack the cover if you set something between the lip of the pool and the cabinet.
If you have rounded or cut corners on your cover you can still measure using these options.
Buying a new cover every 4 to 10 years is usually recommended.
The better the cover the better the life expectancy.
So when buying accessories or anything else in life it's always best to buy the best quality you can afford and you will have many years of enjoyment from your pool.
If all you want to do is get in and party then you can skip all of this and just hire a guy to come out and do this for you:)
