I'm purchasing a Sundance Aspen and want to order a 2 fold cover and Covermate 3 cover lifter. I want to build a spa enclosure before I have the spa delivered. My question for those who may have this setup is how much clearance from spa to wall do I need for the cover in the open position? If you could, post pictures and measurements. Thanks.

Probably a minimum of 8-10". However, you may want more space for routine cleaning and for service access if ever needed. The one thing to make sure of is that you have a minimum of 102" height for fully opening the cover. Hope this helps.

Check with your dealer/salesman...they might not even recommend that type of lifter due to the size of the cover...I know when I was selling Hot Spring they had a 'Gleam' model that was 7'7" x 9'2" and the "uprite/covermate III" was a big no-no on that spa due to the cover size

We use a specialized Cover Mate III that fits Maxxus / Aspen perfectly
it has brackets that wrap around the corners.
So it's pretty stout.

Thanks for the replies. I just gave them my money! 2016 Sundance Aspen, Platinum shell, Mahogany cabinet, Sunstrong cover, Covermate 3 lifter. $13,000 I told them I want it for Father's Day. I will post pics and my measurements once it delivered. Keep the suggestions coming!

Why not have the spa delivered and then build the enclosure? That is what we normally recommend.
