Can I Use A Cover Lift Here?

[jdekan]

My hot tub sits on a small section of covered deck up against my house. There's not much room there and there's a support post (that holds up the corner of the roof) in the way. Does anyone know of a cover lift that would work in this tight area? This is a 2008 Sundance Marin, it's a smaller tub.

Note from the last photo that there is enough room for the cover to fit at the end of the tub, in the space between the tub and the support post.

Have a look and let me know what you think.

Covermate 3 or Cover Valet

I would agree with Doc. CM3 or the Cover Valet are the best bets. The higher the pivot point on the lift, the less clearance you'll need in back.

I agree with Dr Spa. You may need to drain your spa and slide it away from the house to mount the brackets on. You need a little room to install the bolts.

another option may be this::

You might want to slide it a bit toward the door as well. I would think you will need the extra room is you want to maneuver the cover into a cover caddy.
