Selecting the Right Hot Tub Cover to Meet Your Needs
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sam_Spade]Sam Spade
When you purchase a hot tub, it is imperative that you purchase a hot tub cover, as well. They are available in many sizes, colors and price ranges. Whether you prefer an economy cover, a designer cover or something in between, chances are (with a little diligence) you will find just the product you are looking for.
If you are on a budget, purchasing a lower cost cover should not concern you. Even the economy hot tub covers are constructed from Marine grade vinyl, which is often the same material used in the production of white water rafts.
These covers are very durable and will withstand years of use. Economy hot tub covers have an acceptable insulation rating, are mildew proof and can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water.
If you are searching for a high-end cover there are many great designer covers available, as well. Most covers, regardless of the price range, come with at least a five year warranty.
Before you purchase a new hot tub cover, you will need to take measurements. These measurements need to be as accurate as possible. When in doubt, it is always better to purchase a cover that is a bit bigger than your hot tub. If your cover is too snug it will not sit properly or hold in the heat.
As a rule, all hot tub covers come with some type of tie downs or lock system to secure them to the tub. They are tapered, somewhat, to allow water runoff. Most hot tub covers have handles, which makes it easier to cover and uncover the tub. You also have the option of purchasing a "cover lifter". As the name implies, it is a mechanism used to do the lifting for you.
If you are looking for an even more inexpensive version of a hot tub cover, consider purchasing a Tonneau-type cover. (This is the same type of cover that is often purchased to cover the bed of a pickup truck.)
These are a great alternative if you don't want to wait several weeks, for a custom cover. Instead of a traditional foam core they are equipped with an internal air bladder, which aids in insulation and water runoff.
This style of low-priced hot tub cover is easy to use, easy to store, durable, lightweight and childproof.
