how much clearance is required behind the spa? I have about 10 inches between the fence and my spa. Will it fit?

Really depends on the thickness of your cover. 10 inches is going to be tight and the skirt on the cover may scrub the fence. My cover doubled over is 8" not counting the skirt. Hope this helps.

it will be tight depending on the options you choose for the thickness of the cover...

Best thing we ever bought! You need to measure the depth of your cover, and double it. Ours is probably 8". Makes it very easy to open and close. If it doesn't fit that direction, maybe you could shift the direction you open the cover?

It only need like 6-8" of clearance. The website states 4-6" but I say 6-8". It's a really nice lift, excellent! The only thing I don't like about it is how the cover is supported. Take a look at their website. There is not a bar that goes all the way across, just these 12" rods. It works, but I am afraid it might put undue wear on my cover over time. I'm going to fit a pipe across the length.

You will need the folded up width of your spa cover. My folded up cover is only 6-7 inches, so mine would fit. We have been pleased with how this valet works. I who have poor upper body strength can easily lift the cover into the upright position and lower it. It is still working well after a year.

That is fine. I actually mounted my cover incorrectly and it lifts flush with the edge of my spa. I also have about 10 inches to my fence. Not the easiest thing to install. You should really plan it out but it is so much better than the one you lift by hand. I am so glad I purchased it.

I'm sorry I can't answer that. I suppose it depends on the size of the fence posts that the holes were drilled for. The pool is at my daughter's house so I can't measure it now. The product has worked for her though. She really likes it.

Hey its very adjustable i have it over my tub but it has an extra pole so it will fit almost any height about 10feet or so

You have to mount plate under neath spa, and then arms extend up and out, you would have to cut into deck, to allow support poles (which are against spa to rise through your deck- very small openings maybe 1.5" round). The catcher arms for the spa cover then extend perpendicular to you spa and would create a walk around hazard if it is sunken into your deck. So based on your information given I think it does not make sense

I believe I read in the owners manual...the unit required only about 2 inches all around (sides, back..etc) check the manual..If you have enough spacing all around ... you should be ok.

Mine measures almost 27" with the casters off.. so you would have 3/4 of an inch clearance.

You will need about 12" of clearance behind the spa so the cover does not scrape anything while coming down to rest in the up position.

The cover extends about 20 inches above the spa surface. But remember, you need about 48" of clearance above the spa during the opening process, as the cover rotates about the pivot point! - It works slick outdoors for "old folks" like me and is the only way I can uncover the spa on my own

It would work but not right. The arms would be out at angles because your spa is round. The arms would be straight mounted on a flat side of a square or rectangle shaped spa. There are better options for round spa cover removal. Patio Splash Hot Tubs & Spas

Not knowing how big your spa would be, I would suggest more like rubber type matting. They sell them where they interlock and for your set up, I think that would be better under the spa. Then have a few of the Teak ones for when you step out as they are excellent for that and look great!

No it will not. The distance between where the base of the lift attaches to the bottom of the spa sides and the radius to the spas outer circumference is too great. This lift is best suited for square spas.

Duh. Use a square one smaller than the interior dimensions of your pit. I'd probably go with something about 10" so that you have about a 2" gap around the perimeter.

Agree with S.W. Just went out and measured it and its a little less than 8 inches. Installation of this device was very difficult and the instructions are worthless. We had to adjust it for the size of the spa (we have a large DimensionOne spa, and actually had to design a trench where the "feet" of the two rocker arms can go below our patio brickwork to totally lift off cover. It's the best device out there but you will have to spend some time installing it and adjusting the company's installation measurements to fit your spa's make, model and size. Good luick. gary

It should fit. We have the gate on our front porch where the measurement between the posts is just under 48". We did not even use the extra section, so you should be able to adapt it.

My fence is actually 5 feet tall. I just needed it to cover the bottom portion so my neighbor couldn't see my dogs.

That's perfect! I just uploaded two images of ours, showing you the exact measurement. May have to wait a few hrs til the review posts to see the image though. The entire depth of the bracket on the spa is about 4.5

You don't say how much clearance you do have. This unit requires19¼" high. If you don't have 19¼ clearance below your sink it won't fit. I had 20 inches and it wouldn't work under my counter. The company refunded my money with out any problems though. Bought the smaller 20qt, but didn't think that through very well, 20 quarts is more for a bathroom installation. Ended up using my old 13 gal slide out. Was disappointed because I really wanted it attached to the door.
