Build it yourself! This 3-Bow Bimini Frame Kit contains all the tubing and fittings needed to build a 3-bow bimini frame. A bimini top offers great protection from the sun and shelter from rain and spray. Building your own frame lets you save money and customize the design for your boat. This 3-bow frame kit includes the frames and fittings only and does not include webbing support straps, or fabric for the canvas top. To create a complete bimini, pair this kit with a 3-Bow Bimini Skin Kit (sold separately).

This adjustable 3-bow bimini frame is made from 7/8-inch drawn Brite anodized aluminum tubing. All tubing bows are bent in Sailrite’s custom jig and cut just beyond the bow to keep shipping costs down and provide for greater on-site customization. The “hockey stick” section of each bow is fitted with aluminum splines riveted into the appropriate place. This kit also includes Type 316 stainless steel Universal Deck Hinges, which feature pivoting hinges that easily adjust for mounting on different angles of decks, coamings or even vertical surfaces.

To select the appropriate frame kit for your boat, determine the desired width, height and spread (fore & aft) of your bimini and then use the specifications below. Frames are designed to be cut down from their original size. To cut the tubing, use a hacksaw with a blade that has 24 teeth per inch. Adjustments to the listed measurements can be made for your boat. Remember, as the height is increased above the nominal height, the maximum typical spread decreases.

A drill, hacksaw, rivet tool and basic hand tools are required for installation of this kit. Webbing support straps or rigid support studs can be used to support the bows after installation and are sold separately. Webbing strap materials are included in Bimini Skin Kits.
