Bimini Top Repair Sacramento

Custom Bimini Tops and Bimini Top Repair in Sacramento, CA

Bimini tops are perfect for keeping you protected from the sun while you are out relaxing on the lake. Many of us put them up and then don’t think about them anymore, just expecting them to be there and work perfectly whenever we need them. We don’t notice the condition our custom bimini tops are in until they are starting to fall into tatters, and then we are surprised that they didn’t last longer. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Bimini top marine canvas is designed to be highly UV resistant, meaning that it can sit out in the sun for a very long time without bleaching, getting brittle, or falling apart. That doesn’t mean that bimini tops are indestructible. There are many things out on the lake that can damage your bimini top and require repairs if you do not take care of it in time. Something as simple as bird poop or even just dust blown in on the wind can eventually wear away at the fibers, reducing the UV resistance of the fabric and eventually causing holes to form in the fabric. Trust in Bumbrella to repair or replace your bimini top in the Sacramento area today!

Keep your bimini top in tip top shape so you don't need to replace it

• To prevent your bimini top from being damaged, you should wash it regularly and prevent dirt from building up on it
• Check it regularly for signs of damage – it is easier to repair it when it is just beginning to show damage than when the damage is already extensive.

If it is starting to get faded, we can apply another UV resistant coating on it. If it looks like it is starting to show signs of mildew, first clean the mildew off with a gentle non-detergent cleaner such as Dreft or Woolite, use very diluted bleach only on the mildewed spot if the initial cleaning does not fix the problem and rinse thoroughly with water, and then send it in so that we can address the problem of the fabric not resisting microbial growth the way it should. If you see weak spots in the fabric or damage on any of the seams, send it in immediately! The sooner we can repair it, the less time it will have to get more damaged, and the more money and time you save in the long run.

To keep your bimini top in the best repair possible, remember:

• Prevention is the best treatment! Keep your bimini top clean and dirt-free to give the canvas the best chance!
• A stitch in time saves nine. Send it in for repairs at the first sign of damage. Do not wait until the damage is extensive or unrepairable.
• There’s no such thing as a magic wand. We’re good at repairing marine canvas, really good. But we are not fairy godmothers. If you wait until there is no hope for your bimini top, then your best bet will be to just buy a new one. Send it in for repairs before it gets to that point!
