KING BIRD 3-4 Bow Bimini Boat Top Cover Sun Shade Boat Canopy Waterproof 1 Inch Stainless Aluminum Frame 46" Height with Rear Support Poles and Storage Boot 6 Colors -5 Sizes

So far, perfect for the price and what we needed. Easy to install, provided a great amount of shade as I took it out for the first time today. We didn't exceed 25 mph on the boat while the canopy was set and seemed sturdy enough. It is possible to fold down all the way provided you remove the back screws for the back support posts (which is easily done by hand since it's a twist knob and no tools required). It's nice to store the canopy in the built in storage, but I admit I struggle a bit each time I want to pack it up (still haven't perfected it, but that's more on me. The only concern I have at this point is its durability. While installing I noticed small holes where seems are for sleeves of poles. I'm hoping this doesn't spread. I did take boat out and seemed to hold up. I put pictures up of this in case you are interested. BTW, ordered the 4 bow 85-90 in 54" high so we can walk under it easily.

Excellent top for my 16 ft Xpress

First things first... This kit includes the entire bimini frame! It's so hard to find a product description that has the frame included.It's very easy to assemble, especially if your boat already has the deck hardware from a previous bimini top.First, lay the frame arms out and attach together at the bottom. You want to have two long frames on the outside, with two short frames in between. It's important that the mounting horns on the long frames are pointing away from each other. See the pictures.I used the included masking tape to bind the four pieces together, then lay them on the boat and mount to the bottom pivot.Them simply bring the top bows up and attach them to one set of side arms, and add the fabric.If you're setting the top up to fold down forward, you want to install the fabric with the "front" label at the rear. This enables the storage pouch to work properly.Also I'd recommend that you ensure all 8 push buttons on the top bows are fully popped out, or that top bow will try to fall out when you least need it to.Fantastic value on a great product!

This bimini top worked well to protect us from the sun this summer. It was okay to install though the instructions (and vague drawings) made it very confusing and could definitely use clarification - especially on which is the front and back. The top isn't what I'd call solid or sturdy. It has a LOT of side to side movement and I think that in a stiff wind it would probably fold. But, on a clear, calm day, it definitely gave us the shade we needed. I think it could be reinforced. The worst part about it is the storage pouch. It's nearly impossible to get the top tucked into it without a step-stool and a degree in engineering. It took us so long the few times we tried storing it that we just gave up.

**Update**: Once I was able to connect with Overwhelming, the warranty service was outstanding, headed by Ivy at Overwhelming. Once we connected, Ivy shipped a replacement cover to me within 5 days. A little frustrating initially connecting with the warranty support. But, once we connected, the company, represented by Ivy, stood strong behind the top.** I have updated my rating to 5 stars based on the service.**The top is well-built and has been great to date. It is easy to use, provides good sun protection, and looks good on my boat.I have owned it for just over a year. Some stitching has failed, and I'm trying to get in touch with King Bird about how to use the two year warranty.Apparently, it takes Amazon 24-48 hours to get in contact with the company. So, they provided a phone number that I have called, but cannot reach the company.I would appreciate it if King Bird would provide a better support number or contact, so I may address this issue before it gets worse.

Fit perfect. Boot is built it easy to miss.

Material is light , seems to works good. It should last a few seasons I think. The mounting is easy. I mounted the frame backwards and the canvas with the front facing forwards. I like it so I can have the canopy in the up towards the front out of the way to fish easier

The top seems to be good quality. I made my own custom aluminum mounts but the ones that came with seemed ok. Only thing I wasn’t happy with was it kept getting delayed and was 4 days past when I should have got it. It it wasn’t for the at I would of rated it higher
