Don’t be afraid of this being plastic. It seems to be almost a resin. High quality. Very pleased with the ease of operation. Would buy it again.

Slider - Spa Cover Roller

Makes storing the hot tub cover an ease! Simple but excellent design of the product!

Installed three years ago, always exposed to hot Arizona sun, but still working well. I would expect some deterioration as the years go by but to be expected when a plastic has day long sun exposure. Can be adapted to work on spas only 18"" from grade but roller bracket will not fully retract, but this is a minor problem. Cover rolls easily especially when top of rollers are aligned to match of polymer spa tub. Yes, if you or others push the roller portion sideways, you'll risk breaking the bracket.

We do not like the look of the lifters that stick up in the air, but got tired of laying our covers on a tarp. We bought two sets for each end of our swim spa and they work really well without boxing us in. You have to watch that the skirt does not get caught when sliding it, but other than that minor inconvenience, we are happy with this solution. Please know that for the swim spa, you still have to flip 1/4 over another 1/4 and then slide to each end. Flipping can take a little bit of strength, but I can do it by myself.
