SPA - MEASURING A CUT CORNER


Some covers have cut-corners as shown in the diagram above. You can simply measure the cut corner using a tape provided the two ends of the cut corner are not rounded.
It is difficult to measure a cut-corner when the corner is also rounded. In order to do this, use masking tape, to extend the lines of your spa (or existing cover) as shown below. The line where the tape crosses is measure of the cut corner. In the diagram below, "A" is the measurement of the cut-corner.

Note:
Be sure to measure all corners as some covers have different cuts.
IMPORTANT: A smaller cut-corner will cause the cover to slightly over hang the spa while a larger cut will not cover the spa completely.


When measuring an octagon spa, it is important to measure all sides of the tub. If all sides are equal, they are regular octagon, if not they are stretch octagons (rectangles with 4 cut corners). For a stretch octagon measure the total height and width as they may not be equal.
