From fully fixed stainless frames, frames that fold aft while you do not require them, or a bimini that serves as the start point of a full cockpit enclosure to increase the amount of usable space during inclement weather or winter use of your boat, Fabric Solutions will work with you to custom build a bimini that meets your needs. We can also offer replacement biminis or can supply and fit new custom frames to your boat.
