Welcome to our forum.
looks goodnice clock you got there too. the wife says i need to get one of those so i know when to come to bed.
II installed my own and although a bit tedious to install, anyone with a bit of patience, and a screw gun can do it. I agree, the Covermates appear to be decent quality.
I am curious on how the lift will work in the snow. Do you plan on shoveling out behind the tub where the lower bar is?
When lifting the cover, is the lower bar designed to have you place your foot on it to help leverarge the cover? Does that make a difference (or are you like me, and only open 1/2 the cover, hop in and then lift the rest of the cover up while in the tub?
- I did it with a simple screwdriver, but I've always had well conditioned wrists.
I have a CM II on a large tub.Usual opening procedure to unlatch all corners, then lift the front half of cover on to the back half. Finally, from inside the tub, tilt the whole deal over the back of the tub.Another unmentioned advantage .. the portion of the tipped cover that remains above the edge of the tub creates a nice windbreak.
