Our Meyco safety cover fits over both our pool and raised spa just fine. How "raised" is your spa. Ours is 3 ft.

Our spa is only 18". Is everything attached to your decking? Or the face of your spa?

Post a pic of the pool and spa. With over 500 installs under my belt, I think I can give you an expert opinion.

Sure. I should have done that in the first place.

Everything on mine is attached to the decking, but my raised spa is flush with my raised paver patio. I'll defer to poolguynj. BTW, how did you pass final inspection with that fence????

What's wrong with the fence? It has the mesh attached to the outside and the spacing (of the mesh) meets the requirements.

The split rail fence is actually the only fence allowed by our Homeowners Association. We couldn't have pools for years and this was one of the compromises it took to get pools approved.

In the end it doesn't matter how we passed...but we passed!

Sorry. Didn't mean to upset you. I really can't see the mesh in the photos. Fences are a sore spot for me because after spending $8K on jerrith fencing, the inspector was giving me a hard time because in some places there was more than a 2" gap from the ground to the bottom rail. That never made much sense to me since the gap between the vertical posts are 4" and thats okay.

No problem here. I wasn't upset at all. I agree the mesh is hard to see in the pictures.

It's interesting how different inspectors react to certain things. There were places where we had >2" gap but we just placed in a few rocks. Somehow that's OK.

Back to the problem at hand...anyone have an idea if a single spa cover will fit over the raised spa with anchors in the decking?

I would make it two covers. One for the pool and one for the spa. An up and over solution may be possible but I don't see that as being a long lasting cover with snow loads likely to stretch and tear the cover before too long, especially at the spa's spillway.

I would also suggest that some eye bolts and a cable be run across the spa wall facing the pool to prevent sagging and scratching.

The spa's cover would have long straps to both reach the cable and the deck. The straps will create a bit of a tangle foot condition but is IMHO, a better solution than drilling into the deck side of the spa's outer wall.

Looks like a Sylvan pool. Very pretty!

I do recommend a Loop Loc brand cover. The eye bolt anchors they use only require a 3/8"x3" hole be drilled in the wall vs. most other's 5/8" wide hole. However, a 1/2" starter hole will be needed between tiles with a tile/glass bit and a standard drill. The 3/8" holes will require a small hammer drill, not something you want hitting tiles.

Make sure the installer has done this before. Ask to see verifiable pictures.

Thats what they call a fence in PA? That thing will not keep kids out. You need a 5ft fence out here in Arizona and for my peace of mind

I always knew kids in Arizona were better climbers than kids in PA ;)

Yep, the fence is the only type allowed by our homeowners association. It was either this type of fence or no pool.
