| Bimini Material Did a search but found nothing specific as to the best material for my application. I have extended the stainless supports for my canvas Bimini so as to provide full shade and rain protection underway in our rather large cockpit. Presently we have zip on attachments to the main frame but they are too sloppy and unsupported to provide good cover in strong winds or rain. I now have added additional stainless supports to put up a permanent cover, but what material? A hard top that size would be very heavy. I am familiar with Sunbrella and use it now, but in the tropics and in monsoon periods they only last a couple of years in the sun and leak in the heavy rains as the threads deteriorate. Can anyone recommend a good quality vinyl material or something else, that is superior to Sunbrella in the tropics, for a permanent cover? Thanks….Nick |
