We offer several options in pontoon Bimini tops.\u00a0 All are great tops and all will achieve your desired end, which is to get a top on your boat and get out of the sun. How do you know which one is right for you?\u00a0 The answer to that question depends on several factors including the type of boat you have, your intended use, and your personality.\u00a0 Personality, really?\u00a0 Let\u2019s have a little fun with explaining the types of pontoon tops that we offer and see where YOU fit.<\/p>\n

The Traditionalist<\/h2><\/p>\n

You just want a regular top.\u00a0 Most pontoons take a top that is 48\u201d high, 8\u2019 long, and fits mounting widths between 91 and 96\u201d.\u00a0 We stock popular sizes in round tube Bimini tops<\/a> and square tube Bimini tops<\/a>.\u00a0 Having stock means we can ship your top the same day that you order, and you don\u2019t have to wait.<\/p>\n

Now, just because you are traditional and just want a regular 4 bow top, that doesn\u2019t mean that you stop having options.\u00a0 You can customize your top according to material and color.\u00a0 We also offer other sizes including 9\u2019 and 10\u2019 lengths, and even 54\u201d heights.<\/p>\n
