What Are Those Strange Sounding Thingy's By The Name Of Bimini Tops?

By Neil Johns


Do you need some protection from the sun's rays while out on your boat? A bimini top could be exactly what you are looking for. Small, yet durable and providing great cover, they're a great accessory to add on your boat.

A bimini top, or a boat top, is a tough mini-roof produced from a tough materialâ€"usually vinyl, acrylic fabric or a mixture of vinyl and polyester. The name derives from the Bimini island in the Bahamas, where this kind of roof, or top on boats, was first employed by local boaters to safeguard them from the intensive level of the sun. A bimini top also will provide protective cover from the cold soaking rain.

Choosing the correct bimini top will depend on the size of your boat, what color you prefer, and how much money you are willing to spend. The most durable of all bimini tops are made from urethane-coated polyester. This type of top is made so that it will not fade, stretch, or leak. A well-constructed boat top, if it is maintained properly, will not collect mildew or lose its strength over time.

When picking out an excellent, durable bimini top, be careful to determine the construction of the metal framework. The tubing must be comprised of a very durable metal, as in aluminum or even better, stainless steel. Stainless steel is commonly the more so pricey tubing available, but it also is the more durable and should last for years.

Before ordering a bimini top, you have to carefully measure all of the dimensions of your boat to ensure that you get a good-fitting top for the boat you have. Bimini tops are available at all boat showrooms and the sales people are skilled in helping you choose precisely the right top for you, taking your boat's size and your budget into account. You have the option of purchasing the top from a dealer and having the dealership install the bimini top for you, or if you would like to save money, you can install the top yourself by asking for a set of instructions from the retailer.
