The Cover Guy is a family-run style manufacturer in Mount Wellington that makes custom covers for spas and swimming pools, and it says it is proud to make them in New Zealand. It makes covers for spas in any shape, including triangle, quadrilateral, octagon and hexagon, and it cuts pool covers to any size. For pools it offers 400mu, 500mu and 600mu thicknesses, each in three grades of material. Colours include navy blue, green, light and dark grey, black and brown. Hotels and resorts can have a logo printed on the cover. The range also includes child-proof covers and lockdown spa lids. The website says covers are made for the harsh New Zealand outdoor weather, to keep out UV light, rain, wind, storms, leaves and animals. Delivery is about three business days, and custom sizes take about seven days. The business has been running since 2009 and says it has served thousands of customers.
Its address is 4E Morrin Rd, Mount Wellington, which puts it on the south side of Auckland, close to the main roads that serve the southern suburbs. Most people who need a cover are replacing an old one or buying one for a new pool, so the shape and fit matter as much as the price. Because the covers are cut to order, a spa or pool owner can get one made for an odd-shaped tub without paying for a standard size. Our pick in Mount Wellington for a custom spa cover.
