    Bimini top replacement

    A bimini is an open canvas top on a folding frame that shades the cockpit or helm. When the frame is sound, new canvas can be cut to fit it, which costs less than a new top with frame. We measure on the boat so the canvas sits tight at every bow. Side curtains and a boot for the folded top can be added.

    Questions

    Questions about bimini tops

    How much does a bimini top cost?

    New canvas on your own frame starts from $800, and a top with a new frame from $1,500. Your quote comes from your photos.

    Is a bimini top worth it?

    In South Florida sun, shade on board makes long days easier and protects seats and electronics. You pay for the canvas, plus a frame if you need one.

    What's the difference between a 3 and 4 bow bimini top?

    Bows are the frame arches. A 4 bow top is longer and shades more of the boat, a 3 bow top is shorter and lighter.

    How to measure for a replacement bimini top?

    Measure the width at the mounts, the length from front bow to back bow when open, and the height. We measure on the boat so the new canvas fits your frame.

    Can you use my existing frame?

    Yes, if the tubing is straight and the fittings are sound. We check it when we measure.

    Where can I find a replacement top for my bimini?

    A replacement top can be sewn to your frame here. We measure the bows, width and height on the boat, so the new canvas sits tight at every bow.

    How do I know what bimini top to buy?

    Match the number of bows, the width between the mounts, the length and height with the top raised, and the tube size. When the frame is sound, new canvas cut to it fits better than a stock top.

    What are the standard sizes of a bimini top?

    Stock tops are sold by bow count, width between the mounts, length, height and tube size. A top has to match your frame on all of them, so we measure yours instead of picking a stock size.

    How to replace bimini top hardware?

    Worn fittings, deck hinges and straps are swapped while the canvas is off the frame. If tubes are bent or fittings are cracked, a top with a new frame is the better fix.

    Is a 4 bow bimini top better than a 3 bow?

    Not better, longer. A 4 bow top shades more of the boat, while a 3 bow top is shorter, lighter and folds smaller. The frame you have decides it.
