|
|
We're starting to design a bimini type canvas (maybe some other material) deck cover for our 16' cruiser that doesn't have poles, but sits on top of the roof, and slides out over the deck for shade, but slides back for fishing (and ideally when slid out over the deck, can also be slanted down to semi cover the cockpit area just as nuisance abatement when in a slip, but we may be going too far with this idea ). Has anyone else done this, or point me to posts that discuss this, I haven't found any, don't want to reinvent the wheel TOO much thanks! And Merry Christmas! _________________ Karen W. and Robert R.- Fort Bragg, CA - Oh Buoy! |

kcohen4, thanks for the links Yes, the Sureshade is a nice design we've looked at, but with our constantly damp weather, a roll up piece of canvas is probably not going to work. And hopefully we can make something less expensive. I'll let you know what we come up with, it'll probably be a while as we keep changing our minds. The goal is something that sits 6 to 8 inches above the roof, so one of the issues is how to deal with the antenna (for a top that either folds or slides back over the roof when not in use) - the other issue is how it would all fit under our cover It may be that we'll want to just mount it by inserting the legs into hollow extended grab bars that would be on each side of the cabin, and then just removing it when not in use. Lots to consider |
