Bimini tops on boats provide sun and rain protection, welcome shade, and when properly designed, provide good visibility and air circulation.  On larger boats such as houseboats, cruisers, and even party barges, bimini tops can be part of a larger enclosure system that can provide screens for protection from annoying insects during the summer months or windowed covers to help retain warmth when the temperature is cooler.  Black Dog Design, Inc., manufactures your custom tops and covers using the highest quality materials, and all seams are double-stitched for excellent durability.
