These swim spa covers are very unique and designed to last! Created from a combination of our Deluxe and Extreme spa cover, they are fully tapered from 6" in the center to 2" at the outer edge. Extensive technical info on all our covers can be found beginning HERE.
Spas more than 8' long (such as swimspas) generally pose a problem when it comes to insulating covers. Because the foam for the cores only comes 4' wide, spa covers longer than 8' require more than two panels. The challenge is with the center panels. While the outer two panels are supported by the spa on three side, the inner panels are only supported at the ends. Because of this, the center panels want to sag. We take some extra precautions to help prevent this.
First of all, we highly recommend against three panel covers. Even though a 12' long spa can be covered with a three panel cover (and initially save a bit of money), a four panel cover has smaller center panels which gives them more strength and less tendency to sag. All our swimspa covers are made up of four panels!
Secondly, our center panels are made with a TAPERED foam. While the outer panels are made from 4" to 2" tapered, 1.5 pound density, we use 6" to 4" tapered, 1 pound density foam for the center panels. THIS GIVES YOU A FULLY TAPERED COVER. While most others use a flat 4" foam for the center panels, a fully tapered cover allows for water run off, and it's the rain water that frequently causes the center panels to sag and then break.
The center panels are also reinforced with metal C-channel on BOTH sides. While this may seem like an obvious necessity for strength, it's frequently overlooked.
