Bimini Tops

Bimini Tops provide shade and protection

A Bimini top is a retractable canopy that provides shade and protection from the sun for boat passengers. Bimini tops are made from waterproof, UV-resistant fabric and are attached to an aluminum frame. They are a popular addition to boats because they provide a comfortable, shaded area for passengers to relax and enjoy the water.

Measuring for the correct size Bimini tops

If you are considering adding a Bimini top to your boat, there are a few things you should consider. First, you will need to measure your boat to determine the correct size Bimini top for your vessel. To do this, you will need to measure the width of your boat at its widest point, as well as the length of the area where you want to install the Bimini top. You will also need to measure the height of the area where you want to install the Bimini top, as well as the distance from the front of the boat to the back of the boat.

Once you have these measurements, you can use a Bimini top size chart to determine the correct size Bimini top for your boat. It is important to choose the correct size Bimini top to ensure that it fits properly and provides adequate coverage and protection.

Choosing the correct bimini tops

There are several different types of Bimini tops to choose from, including full-size, half-size, and two-thirds size. Full-size Bimini tops offer the most coverage and are a good choice for larger boats, while half-size and two-thirds size Bimini tops are better suited for smaller boats.

In addition to the size of the Bimini top, you will also need to consider the type of frame that you want. 3 Bow bimini tops are available with either a 1/2in aluminum frame or a 3/4in aluminum frame. The 1/2in aluminum frame is lighter and easier to install, while the 3/4in aluminum frame is stronger and more durable.

Bimini Top replacement parts 

If you already have a Bimini top on your boat and are looking to replace it, you will need to measure your current Bimini top to ensure that you purchase the correct size replacement Bimini top. It is also important to note that Bimini tops are not universal and will not fit all boats, so it is important to measure your boat carefully and choose a Bimini top that is specifically designed to fit your vessel.

In conclusion, a Bimini top is a great addition to any boat, offering protection from the sun for you and your family. It is important to measure your boat carefully to determine the correct size Bimini top, and to choose a Bimini top that is specifically designed to fit your vessel. You should also consider the type of frame that you want, with options including a 1/2in aluminum frame or a 3/4in aluminum frame. With the right Bimini top, you can enjoy your time on the water in comfort and style.
