Stevie Wonder Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I've seen the covana and nice but high $.. I'm due for a new cover and thinking of a enclosure due to snow and wind.. I'm in the pocono mountains of Pa near one of the ridges so we get a lot of wrap around wind during storms and a bit more snow than even a few miles back from the edges.. My factory cover lasted just over 3 years. I really enjoy using the tub in the snow but we have had winters where it was so nasty most night were too bad outside to go out. Summer does not get hot enough to worry about not using it really as we only have a couple days in the 90's all summer. Thinking of trying to build a retractable tunnel type awning or greenhouse type hoop house that I can shift 4-6 feet with a garage door opener or something.. Anybody ever come up with any good options? The tub BTW is about 10' from the house on a patio. and it covers almost 100% of the patio. We are building a new porch and once that is done its going over under that, 1/2 under-1/2 out I think.. I hope to start on the porch this summer. Nothing happens fast in the poconos..

Dnepr Dave Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Maybe you could put the tub on rails, so you could move it in and out from under a roofed structure. just brainstromin' Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Wonder Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 That would be nice.. I saw a tub in a Dwell magazine about 5 or so years ago that was on tracks like trail rails. slid from under a protective shell out into the open. looked expensive.. i'd rather move the shell.. I think I may have some ideas.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
