PREPARING A PROPER FOUNDATION
Just like the spa, the Covana requires a solid foundation. The area that the Covana sits on
must be able to support at least 600 lb (272 kg) and must be leveled. All components of the
Covana must be supported by the foundation.
Note: Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by
the Covana warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide proper foundation.
Foundation recommendation:
1.
Engineered wood deck OR concrete pad - 4" (10 cm) thick.
2.
Each of the 4 posts on the Covana 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” (0.6 cm)
concrete anchor for concrete pads or a 1/4” (0.6 cm) lag bolt for wood foundations of a
minimum of 1-1/4” (3 cm) long.
