National Bimini Tops brand (NBT) is a durable line of bimini covers for boats, pontoons and ski towers. All NBT biminis are made from extremely durable marine-grade fabric that is available in 10 popular colors. The bimini canvas is also UV coated to help reduce color fade over time.
Okay! Here is our NBT Bimini Top in-house Review. We installed it on one of our employee's recently purchased boats. The NBT Bimini Top comes in a nicely packaged box with everything you need to put it up in place. The first thing we immediately noticed when we opened the box was the thickness of the frames. Most frames are 7/8" and these are 1" thick. The manufacturer states they did this to increase the speed rating and durability. Secondly, the fabric quality looks very nice! This is one area we were concerned with because other biminis we have carried in the past fell short on this test. After about 30 minutes we had the bimini up and installed easily. The bimini has a nice sleek fit with attention to detail. After reviewing this product with management we agree that we can definitely put the NBT guarantee on it!
Lastly, check the top for stability, ensuring the front of the top is angled downward. If it isn’t, pull the front hold-down straps tight in order to change the angle. As always, check all straps and fittings for tightness before using your bimini top at speeds higher than 35 MPH. more
Apply Fabric Guard to the clean, dry surface to protect the fabric from the elements and extend their life.
Yes, you can replace the fabric portion on your bimini top! To find one that works for your boat, take a look at the Carver Replacement Canvas section in our bimini top accessories. [links]

1. Determine the length: 4', 6', or 8'.

3. Determine the width: 60" to 103".
a. Measure from the mounting point on one side of the boat, to the same location on the opposite side of the boat (this is not the same as “beam width” or boat width).
b. Widths of the Bimini BoaTops are specified in increments of 6" (choose the width that best matches your mounting point measurement).
c. Frames are designed as “knock-down” frames, meaning they snap together via double-sided snap buttons.
d. 3-Bow or 4-Bow: This refers to the number of bows that make up the frame. 3-bow for the 4 ft. and 6 ft. length tops, and 4-bow for 8 ft. long tops.
e. All sizes ship unassembled, via UPS or FedEx. [links]
