It is not meant to be stood on or used as a connecting walkway to another section of your deck.

The only weight that a hot tub cover is meant to support is that of snow. Some pet owners feel the weight of their dogs or cats can also be supported. But pets can be destructive to your cover and they can scratch its surface with their paws. That’s why it’s best to prevent animals and even children from standing on the cover at all times.
