Just like many other hot tub manufacturers, Sundance Spas does not make their own hard covers but trusts this job to a third party manufacturer. There are many quality hard cover manufacturers in North America. Buying from a Canadian manufacturer assures you will be buying from a company that is mindful of Canadian winters.
Sundance Spas Cover Measurements
Measure the length and width of the cover. Also measure the corner radius when the cover is round such as the picture above showing a Sundance Spas Marin model.
Rectangular Covers - squared corners:
If the spa has square corners and no indentations, then only the length and width is needed along with the skirt length (the amount of fabric left hanging around every side).
Sundance Spa Cover Taper
For Canadian winters the hard cover should be a tapered cover so that water and melting snow and ice can run off.
Sundance Spa Covers
The best choice for cover thickness is either a 4 inch thick or 5 inch thick cover that tapers down to either 3 or 4 inches at the edge. When using a thicker 5 inch cover, energy savings can be substantial, but the cover may also be heavier than can comfortably be handled by one person.
The best combination is a 5 inch thick winter cover along with a cover lifter.
How to Measure the Sundance spa cover “Skirt Length”
The “skirt” length of your Sundance Spa refers to the amount of material hanging over the edges. This part of the cover should protect your spa shell, so make sure it is long enough for no acrylic to be exposed to harsh sunlight that can damage acrylic, but short enough not to get caught on any cabinet toprail that may run around the perimeter of some Sundance spa models.

Spa covers in Canada experience harsh winds, snow, sleet, hail, ice and also harsh direct sunlight. Covers can last 5-7 years. Choosing a cover that has a higher foam density will help it weather heavier snow loads. It is always a good idea to clear off freshly fallen snow after a storm so that it does not ice up and create unnecessary wear on the cover.
Some of the most popular Sundance cover colours include slate gray, cabernet, teakwood, sapphire, noir, teal, taupe and other popular shades. Other colours include white, tan, green and brown.
Covers are marine grade, high quality and energy saving. The better foam density (at least 1.5 instead of 1 pound foam) means the cover has less chance of cracking or breaking as it is more rigid. Although the standard factory cover is a 4"-2" taper, that is quite thin along the edges of the spa for a Canadian winter. So the 4"-3" taper is a better choice when ordering a replacement cover as the minimum thickness recommended. The other option is the extra thick 5"-4" cover.
Example: If you have a Sundance Altamar spa, you can rely on the cover maker's database that says your cover is 87" x 82" with an 8 inch radius (rounded corners) and 4 inch skirt. But if you want to avoid problems because either the database is wrong, or the spa model has changed over the years and there is more than one cover size for that spa model, it is best to measure the cover yourself. Simply measure length, width, skirt length and corner radius and then you will be sure you get the correct Sundance Spa cover. Note that most cover manufacturers will not pay for freight when something goes wrong because these covers are expensive to ship.
Also read the fine print on any outlandish warranties. There are some operators on the market that claim they have a 5, 7 or 10 year warranty on the covers and really only offer a 1 year warranty with the rest being a partial refund of the money you give them to begin with.
The fact is that most spa covers will only last about 5-7 years depending on weather factors, how they are used and other damage. A simple tear in any part of the vinyl and underlying vapor barrier will cause the cover to become waterlogged and heavy. This is less a function of the cover design and more about how it is handled and used.
Note that thicker covers provide better insulation, so if you get a 5" tapered cover, that will keep in more heat than a 3" cover, but the tradeoff is that bigger covers are harder to handle by yourself. That is why it is recommended to use a cover lifters if you have a thick spa cover.
