Here is the old cover tossed aside and now covered with snow...
We started this project with materials all picked up from home depot for $87.
2 4x8 pieces of foam board 2 1/2 inches thick
2 4x8 pieces of plywood about 1/2 inch thick
4 hinges approximately 3 inches
4 inch wide tape that has a weave
White primer paint (less than 1 quart)
1 tube of foam board adhesive
We cut down the plywood and the foam board to the size of our hot tub. Then we painted the wood with the paint. We gave each side 2 coats. We laid the foam board on the ground, then put the adhesive on the boards. We made sure to get the adhesive on the edges as well as the center. Then we put the plywood boards on the foam boards. We left them to adhere for 24 hours. We applied tape across each part of the foam on the edges. We also put a piece of tape across the center where the space is between the boards. We added 4 hinges, equally spaced, across the boards. 3 handles were added on one side of the board to be able to pull it onto the hot tub. Last we used a cover to protect the wood further.
