FAQs

What material are these support poles made from?

The support poles are made from durable, anodized aluminum.

What is the adjustable length range of the poles?

The poles can be adjusted from 66 cm to 110 cm in length.

Are these poles compatible with any type of bimini top?

These poles are designed for universal fit with both 3-bow and 4-bow bimini tops.

Does the set include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the delivery includes 2 support poles and 4 screws for mounting.

How do I fold my bimini top down using these poles?

You can easily fold the bimini top down by unscrewing the deck hinges from their mounting point.

Are these poles sturdier than standard nylon straps?

Yes, the aluminum support poles are significantly sturdier than traditional nylon straps.

What are the pole diameters?

The pole diameters are 21.5 mm and 25 mm.

Troubleshooting

Poles feel loose in the hinges.

Ensure the telescoping sections of the pole are fully extended and locked, or adjust the angle and secure the deck hinge mounting screws firmly.

Screws do not secure the hinge properly.

Verify that the mounting surface is solid and free of obstructions. Use appropriate anchors if mounting to a less dense material. Ensure screws are not stripped.

Difficulty adjusting pole length.

Ensure the pole is clean and free of debris. Extend and retract slowly. If stiff, a small amount of marine-grade lubricant might help, but use sparingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable and sturdier than nylon straps.
  • Adjustable length provides flexibility for different setups.
  • Constructed from corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum.
  • Universal compatibility with common bimini top bow configurations.
  • Easy to install and remove for bimini top deployment or storage.

Cons

  • Requires a solid deck or mounting surface for secure installation.
  • Nylon straps are not included as a replacement part, only the poles.
  • Pole diameter may not be suitable for all existing bimini top fittings.
  • Requires manual unscrewing of deck hinges for folding, unlike some integrated systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired length for your bimini top support poles (66 cm to 110 cm).
  2. Position the poles and attach the included deck hinges to your boat's deck using the provided screws. Ensure a secure and stable mounting point.
  3. Insert the poles into the deck hinges. The telescoping mechanism allows for fine-tuning the length.
  4. If you need to fold your bimini top down, simply unscrew the deck hinges from the mounting point.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with 3-bow and 4-bow bimini tops.
  • The pole diameter is 21.5 mm at the smaller end and 25 mm at the larger end.
  • Requires a suitable surface on the deck or gunwale for mounting the included hinges.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the anodized finish.
