How to Fix a Hot Tub Cover When It Ripped in Half

A hot tub cover protects your tub and water from the elements and debris when it's not in use. While hard tops are more durable, many owners opt for the less expensive vinyl cover. Minor rips and tears can be repaired with a vinyl repair kit, but duct tape is likely your only option when repairing a vinyl cover that has been torn in half. Because covers are expensive, duct tape is a cheap alternative. If the cover is practically destroyed, it might be time to invest in a new one.
