Biminis & Canopies

A bimini top, or a boat canopy, is a canvas top for the boat, open to all sides and usually supported by a 25mmx1.18mm metal frame, or a 25mmx1.5mm frame. It provides protection from the sun while allowing air to flow underneath, and can usually be collapsed if not needed. It only provides protection from rain if the boat is stationary.

Xgear 3-bow bimini,and Xgear 4-bow bimini are using strong 25mmx1.5mm aluminium frame, aluminium is an ideal material because it’s strong but lightweight and corrosion resistant. They are made of the 600D solution dyed fabric with a polyurethane coating to make it water resistant. Polyester fabric is used more often than canvas because it has better tear resistance. UV and mildew treatments by the manufacturer gives the fabric a longer life. Double overlapped stitching which is good for waterproof. The Bimini Top boat cover with 1 inch aluminum frame with 2 models: model#1 with 4 adjustable straps, model#2 just with 2 front adjustable straps and 2 rear support poles.

What Size Bimini Top Do I Need?

Most bimini tops have three bows or four bows which are the steel frames that run through the fabric. Three bows are used on runabouts while four bows are needed on pontoons and larger fishing boatsThe most common size is three bows. Within each of the bow sizes are multiple canopy heights, widths and lengths to choose from depending on the size of your boat and how much coverage you want. If you're going to stand under your bimini, pick one that will give you enough headroom height. The width depends on the points where the two deck hinges attach.

Xgear 3-bow bimini,or Xgear 4-bow bimini have 10 colors and 7 different size for choose, to coordinate with most boat colourings.

Adjustable bimini tie straps ensure the cover stays in place when you are at anchor and motoring at full speed.  Biminis should be easy to put up and take down, so you are more likely to want to store it after each use and not just the first one. A sock for storage is usually included when you purchase a bimini top.
