Have a look at some ideas for creating some shade to protect both your new spa and your family from the heat and UV rays. Do your best to protect your all areas of your spa from direct sunlight exposure.
Watch the path of the sun at various times throughout the day, before you decide on a shade cover. You'll realise that the sunlight and shadows are cast onto various facets of your spa and UV exposure creeps through even narrow gaps in protection from above. You may like to extend the shade structure past the physical size of your spa to allow for lower winter sun and also the still hot setting sun throughout the summer months.
