Fishing Frenzy

Your head may be shaking trying to figure out what a Bimini top is, but anyone that has been on a boat has more than likely been under one. That little cloth top that protects you from the rain and sun can be a lifesaver at times. Bimini tops are great accessories for any boat and if you don't have one, you may just think about making it yourself.

You can use a bimini top to cover your boat if it did not come with one. Even smaller fishing boats that are used for lake fishing can hold a bimini top. You can add one to your boat so rainy days are not going to keep you off the lake.

Larger boats can still benefit from a top to keep small children and those who are not supposed to be in the sun shaded. You can make one that is going to only partially cover a large boat. This is going to leave an area that is shaded and an area that is going to get full sun.

These tops will also offer shade in the hot days of summer and they are going to protect fishermen from getting sunburn. Sunburns are the leading cause of cancer, so this is a great way to keep from getting skin cancer as well. Those who want to be in the sun can sit outside of the top.

If you have been to the store and find that the cost of a Bimini top is a bit much for you, making one yourself is a very viable option. There are some great videos out on the market that will show you how to take some thread, metal poles and some fabric and turn it into a Bimini top that any boat show would be proud to sell.

Learning how to make a Bimini top on your own is much more affordable that paying the price that the stores are charging these days. Even if you make a few mistakes the first time around, it will be much cheaper to make another one than it would have been to buy one in the first place. However, with as easy as they are and as complete as the instructional videos can be, it is unlikely that you will have anything but success in your endeavor to make your own Bimini tops.
