There are cheaper spa covers on the market than DuraTherm, but The Spa Depot will not sell them. We'd lose a good customer (you) after a year or two when they failed. Quality does not cost, it pays, with a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the cover. DuraTherm's quality makes it truly the most affordable spa cover on the market.
