Do Not Buy A New Pontoon Bimini Top For Your Boat Without All The Facts

What exactly is a Bimini Top and where can get one to add to my Pontoon Boat? The answer is really fairly simple, a Bimini Top has an open front and back with a Canvas top that provides shelter over the cockpit of a boat. They are as simple as that. Bimini Tops can be collapsed and stored in a Bimini Top Boot when not in use, generally toward the back of the boat.
Bimini Tops only provide overhead protection from the elements and are open on all four sides. A Bimini Top is used mostly as protection from the hot sun while out on the water. Bimini Tops offer no protection from wind and only minimal protection from rain and spray when moving forward at speed. Rain protection from a Bimini Top is usually only provided while the boat is stationary or there is limited wind.
A Bimini Top is generally made out of metal for the frame portion and the Top is a UV Resistant Marine Canvas. Bimini Tops are offered in many different styles and colors to compliment what ever type of boat you have. Pontoon Boat Bimini Tops are probably the most common but you can see at BiminiCovers.net that there are far more styles available and you are not limited to only having a Bimini Top on a Pontoon Boat. Almost all Bimini Tops are universal and can be mounted on just about any boat.
The various manufacturers of Bimini Tops will generally provide step by step instructions on how to measure and mount your new Bimini Top. When ordering a new Bimini Top it is important to pick a size and style that compliments your boat. The most important item to take into consideration is going to be the width of your boat. The length of the Bimini Top can cause issues, but if the width is not correct you will not be able to install your Bimini Top easily or even at all.
If you so desire, you can simply order new Canvas for your current Bimini Top and simply reuse your frame. I personally feel that for the small price difference, you should just order a new top and frame all together. You will not have any fitment issues with your new top attaching to your old frame and you will also have the peace of mind knowing that your old Bimini Top frame will not fall apart on you.
Once you have installed your new Bimini Top on your Pontoon or other boat, just step back and be amazed at the transformation that you have made to your boat. It will look years newer and your family and friends will be thrilled about the added protection they will now receive on the long lake days.
