How to Measure the Radius of your Corners
Some covers have rounded corners. The diagram above shows a
rounded
corner with imaginary dotted red lines.
The length of the red line represents the
measurement of the radius corner. The
lines start where the cover begins to curve,
and end where they cross. Be sure to measure all corners and that they are ALL
the same size!
IMPORTANT: If in doubt, a slightly smaller
radius will slightly over hang
the spa while a larger radius will not cover the
spa completely.
One of the difficult things for many people, is trying to
measure the radius of a rounded corner.
There are numerous ways one my go about figuring this measurement, but here are
the easiest we have found so far.
Method #1
If your existing cover fits properly, set it upside-down on top of
a piece
of newspaper. Line up the edges of the newspaper with the edges of the
cover. The
distance from the corner of the newspaper, to where the cover completely covers
the paper is the radius of the corner.
Method #2:
You can also use a framing square to measure the radius of your spa
corners. Set
the square against the edge of the spa as shown below. The radius of the rounded
corner is the distance from the inside corner of the square, to where the cover
just
touches the square.
