When shopping for a hot tub, it's easy to focus on jet counts, seating layouts, and overall design. But one of the most important features of any spa is something that's often overlooked—the cover.
A quality hot tub cover helps protect your investment, retain heat, and keep your water clean. That's why Strong Spas developed the patented DURA-SHIELD® HardCover. Available on select models, it's designed to deliver long-lasting durability, exceptional performance, and everyday convenience.
Built Differently from the Start
The DURA-SHIELD® HardCover isn't a traditional vinyl-covered spa cover. It's molded from specially formulated polymers and filled with proprietary foam, creating a durable, impact-resistant design that's built for years of use.
This innovative construction helps the cover maintain its performance while standing up to changing weather conditions and everyday wear.
Engineered for Strength
Your hot tub is an investment, and the cover plays a major role in protecting it.
The DURA-SHIELD® HardCover is engineered to withstand the elements and is designed to support over 1,000 pounds of evenly distributed snow or debris. Combined with stainless steel reinforcements and hardware, it's built to provide dependable performance season after season.
Designed to Help Retain Heat
An effective cover does more than keep leaves and debris out of your spa—it also helps retain heat.
The DURA-SHIELD® HardCover is designed to reduce heat loss, helping your spa maintain water temperature more efficiently while it's covered. Better insulation means your spa stays ready to enjoy while supporting efficient operation throughout the year.
Convenient to Use Every Day
Strong Spas designed the DURA-SHIELD® HardCover with everyday use in mind.
Features like built-in easy-lift handles and its innovative cantilevered design make opening and closing the cover simple and convenient. The easier it is to use your spa, the more likely you are to enjoy it regularly.
Helps Protect Your Water
Keeping your spa covered is one of the simplest ways to maintain water quality.
The DURA-SHIELD® HardCover helps keep leaves, dirt, and other outdoor debris out of your hot tub, reducing contamination and supporting cleaner water between maintenance routines.
Backed by Innovation
The DURA-SHIELD® HardCover reflects Strong Spas' commitment to thoughtful engineering and continuous innovation. It's one of the many technologies developed to improve the ownership experience, combining durability, efficiency, and convenience into a single integrated design.
Available on select Strong Spas models, the DURA-SHIELD® HardCover is also backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving owners added confidence in their investment.
Experience the Difference
Some hot tub features are easy to see, while others make the biggest difference over years of ownership. The patented DURA-SHIELD® HardCover is designed to deliver lasting performance, reliable protection, and everyday convenience—helping you get even more enjoyment from your Strong Spa.
