Foundation preparation

The Evolution cover requires a clean, flat and
level surface such as an engineered wood deck
or a concrete slab.

Each of the four jacks of the Covana cover must
be properly anchored to the foundation using at
least one of the pre-drilled holes located at the
foot of each post. Use a 1/4 in. (6 mm) concrete
anchor for concrete pads or a 1/4 in. (6 mm) lag
bolt for wood foundations, and insert minimum
11/4 in. (30 mm) deep. If you cannot meet these
requirements, install a set of non-permanent
mounting plates.
WARNING

The non-permanent mounting plates can only
be used in areas with low winds (less than 30
mph (50 km/h) open and less than 45 mph (70
km/h) in close position).

The non-permanent mounting plates must also
be properly installed.

Just like the hot tub, the Covana cover requires
a solid foundation. The foundation for the
Covana cover must be able to support at least
600 lb. (272 kg).

The foundation must be leveled with a
maximum tolerance of 1 in. (2.54 cm) over a
144 in. (3.65 m) diagonal section. (Figure 26).
Refer to
Frame dimensions and foot print
section for information on the minimum base
size .

The annual variation in levelness for the same
diagonal section cannot exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm)
CAUTION

Damage caused by inadequate foundation
construction is not covered by the Covana
warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to
provide a proper foundation.

Failure to follow these guidelines might cause
permanent damage or improper functioning of
the Covana cover. Such damage might not be
covered by the warranty.
