This means that, if you put your boat up wet, the water can evaporate out of the boat and is not trapped inside. This is especially important if you live in a humid area. - How do I care for my boat cover?
To keep your boat cover looking great much longer, make sure to support your cover using boat cover support poles. Supporting your cover properly will prevent water from pooling on the cover. When trailering (or even just for storage), use a tie down kit to prevent damage to your cover.Never wash your boat cover in a machine. You can use a hose and a soft bristle brush for cleaning. Allow the cover to dry completely before folding for storage.For more stubborn spots, you may use the following recipe:1 cup white vinegar1 cup Borax powder2 cups warm waterMix ingredients in a bucket or in a spray bottle. Apply to the spot of concern and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse--allow to dry thoroughly before folding. - Why do I need a support pole? A tie down kit?
A support pole is needed to prevent water or snow from pooling on your cover.

Can this be purchased seperately?
No. There are many differences in frame construction within the industry. Over time, we have found that our canvases will not fit the frames designed by our competitors.

Our Bimini tops are handmade using only the finest fabrics from precision made patterns. - I am looking for a pontoon boat cover. How do yours fit?

The bimini top should rest flat on the boat, and then the cover goes over both the Bimini top and the boat. Simply undo both sets of straps, lower the Bimini, and apply your boat cover! - Will your cover include the open deck area of my pontoon boat?

What should I do to prevent this?
Our Bimini tops are made from tough, marine-grade material that is made to withstand abrasion. However, there are a few simple actions that, if taken during top assembly, will ensure you enjoy years of worry-free boating with your BoatCoversDirect.com Bimini top.When installing your Bimini top, opt for a hand-held screwdriver rather than an electric drill.If an electric drill is used, sometimes it is possible to "burr" a screw when you are assembling your top. This means that the head of the screw is very rough. When ignored, the screw has the potential to rub your canvas and cause problems for you.If the screws have become "burred" out during your top assembly, you may fix the problem with one of two easy solutions. First, you may wish to file the "burr" to ensure that the edges of the screw are smooth. Second, you may apply duct tape to prevent the rough edges from coming into contact with your canvas. - Looking for a Custom Personal Watercraft Cover?
