Covermate II
The Cover Mate 2 allows the open cover to rest lower against the spa for a slightly less-obstructed view. Depending on the mounting system, the CoverMate II can be mounted low on the spa, or simply slid underneath for spas with weaker skirts using the optional Understyle bracket system
|
The Covermate II is made of weather resistant components that will provide years of trouble free performance. |
Strikingly different in design from other cover lifts, the Covermate II is the perfect cover lift when clearance behind the spa is not important (18' clearance needed) but overall stored cover height is. |

 |
The CoverMate II places the spa cover behind the spa, down and out of the way |
The CoverMate II is also available in an "undermount style" which requires no holes or attachment to the spa. The special mounting brackets slide under the spa and are held in place by the weight of the spa. Please note, the spa needs to be slightly lifted to slide the brackets underneath.

Installation Instructions for the Covermate II
What's actually inside the box.
The Covermat II can be installed either by side mounting to the spa skirt, or understyle. Understyle uses a special bracket that slides under the spa for mounting the cover lift to. This allows for the Covermat II to be installed on spas with very weak skirts, or where you simply don't want to drill into the skirt.
