- How does the bimini mount to the tower?
The bimini mounts to the tower using a custom quick release clamp system. Easy to install with no drilling required.
- Does the bimini come with a boot?
Yes, all biminis include a solid color storage boot. This boot includes two straps and buckles for storing the bimini to the tower.
- How does the bimini store when not in use?
It is simple and quick. By removing two quick release pins and two thumbscrews the bimini collapses together so that it can then be stored within the boot. The bimini is then folded up against the back of the tower and held in place by boot straps. Over The Top biminis might fold up different depending on your tower.
- What if I don't have a tower, do you sell deck mounted biminis?
Yes. Our 2009 Deck Mount Bimini prices start at $600.00. You can upgrade your deck mount bimini by adding the different options that we offer such as frame upgrades and different canvas designs.
- How long does it take to get the bimini once the order is placed?
It depends on the time of the year. During the winter it takes us 4-10 working days to ship a patterned bimini. If we do not have a pattern and need measurements, it is could take us 3-5 weeks before we will be able to ship.
During our busy summer months it could take 2-4 weeks for a patterned bimini to ship and 6-12 weeks for biminis we do not have patterns for.
- How much is shipping?
The frame of our biminis is typically a lot smaller than that of competitors biminis, therefore our shipping charges are a lot less. Typical shipping costs range from $65.00 - $85.00 depending on the shipping destination.
- What are the advantages of your biminis over other bimini manufacturers?
The number one reason for getting a bimini is to offer optimum protection from the sun, especially on those hot summer days. Each bimini is built with that in mind. We want to offer a bimini that is not only user friendly but a bimini that is large enough to truly offer legitimate sun protection. Our standard bimini is 5 1/2 to 6 ft long and wider than most other tower mounted biminis on the market. Coverage, bimini design options, and an adjustable custom clamp system are only a few of the many advantages that set our biminis apart from all others.
- Does the bimini come with a warranty?
All of our biminis use Sunbrella, the top marine acrylic fabric in the industry. Sunbrella offers a 5 year limited warranty on the canvas. We also offer a 1 year warranty on worksmanship and defective parts.
- How much do they cost?
Our 2009 prices start at $760.00 for our standard tower bimini. That price includes a polished aluminum frame, nylon fittings, the mounting hardware and a solid color bimini with the boot. You can also get your bimini with a stainless steel frame for an additional charge.
We offer different canvas design options too. To add stripes (design B or C) to a bimini is an additional $70.00. To add flared stripes, such as our D and E design, it is an additional $90.00. Curved stripes (F and G) are $120.00.
