Leesweet, you will be all wet when you finish your wet test, but not on this one, the only option is to slide the cover to the back of the spa, oppisite side from the entry and controls. The cover is a 3 piece cover and the 3 pieces will "stack" and slide into the cover caddy. It can then stay horizontal or be lowered to stand vertical behind the spa.
Because of the length of the spa 9'2", it can only utilize a 3 fold section cover which will operate in only one way. I hope this answers everybodys questions.
