We have 3 big dogs who have taken to laying on the spa cover. They have bent it in so much it is in the water. One is a puppy and has chewed it up also. We have thrown it away and are looking for something to replace it with that they wont ruin. We have thought about getting marine grade plywood and making a cover out of that... any other ideas? The spa is built into the deck so you just walk up to it and step in. Thanks

I have been looking at these, but I have not priced one out yet. http://www.greatnorthernhottubs.com/roll_up_cover.htmlI love the look of the wood, and it might not be comfortable for the dogs.

Also a Rubadub hot tub and a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) poolside.
If your water has you worried, do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test (OCLT), and if you fail, then follow the Shocking Process until:
1. CC is less than 0.5 ppm, 2. An OCLT shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less and, 3. The water is crystal clear.

I have used those. They work OK. They are expensive. They are not super strong. They won't support a lot of weight. The wood needs to be sealed periodically to keep it nice.
