Black Dog Design’s customer needed a large bimini for their cruiser, one that would maximize the interior space on deck, while at the same time, being tall enough so that one didn’t have to stoop over to walk under the canvas.

In this view, you can see the supports from the frame spaced close enough apart to not let the top hold water.

The project involved mounting the new frame as wide as possible and building it tall.  The result was a large bimini that both provides a great deal of shade as well as good access around the cockpit.

This new bimini provides a large amount of shade to the customer and his family. Beautiful top.

This design could also be adapted to a smaller ski boat to provide shade as desired.

We like it when a plan comes together!
