As I've mentioned in other threads, I'm having my deck rebuilt, and a part of the design brings the deck so that it's just about even with the top of the hot tub. Sort of like this:
I've seen several pictures where the owner had screwed the connectors to the floor of the deck, but this has 2 problems: (1) you'll step on it when you're not paying attention, and (2) this can't possibly hold the cover down very tightly, so it's going to take more electricity to keep the water hot.
I thought about building a type of pocket for each connector (say, 2" wide x 4" long x 6" deep), and then cutting a hole in the floor to insert each pocket. This way, the connector would still be mounted vertically, and to unsnap it you would put your hand into the hole and press the connector. But this seems rather complicated, and might be a lot of pointless work if there's already something out there for this application.
Does anyone know of a better solution?
