Next job is to clean up the spa area and for me to make a new cover. I’ve already been working in that area to cut down and remove the spa pergola and the main reason for doing that job at that time was to have some more timber available to build the spa box – which was the last job.
The spa was never used, all that’s left of the cover is deteriorating Styrofoam panels.
While the team is cleaning out the spa I’m having a think about how to make a cover – with cost and time factors in mind.
Building a octagon frame with pine and palings to cover with shade mesh. I already know that I need to set the mitre saw for 135° from previous jobs -
6 triangles x 180 = 1080 / 8 = 135°
Using multi purpose brackets squashed out to 120° on each corner but that won’t be enough to hole it’s shape, more reinforcement will be needed.
