We have three 2-Bow Bimini Skin Kits to choose from. Each kit has the same materials, and you'll follow along with the video featured above to make each kit. The big difference is the fabric for your bimini top. You can choose between Sattler® Marine Grade, Sunbrella® Marine Grade and Sattler® Yachtmaster.
For those who know the name Sunbrella and want to go with a brand they recognize, choose the Sunbrella Marine Grade kit. Sattler Marine Grade has all the same great features as Sunbrella — UV, water and fade resistant, easy to pattern and clean, mold/mildew resistant — at a lower cost. If you're on a budget or appreciate saving some money, Sattler Marine Grade is an excellent choice.
A step above Sattler and Sunbrella Marine Grade is Sattler Yachtmaster. Yachtmaster is Sattler marine with an acrylic coating on the underside for superior water resistance. In fact, Yachtmaster never requires re-treatment to restore lost water resistance.
Watch the video below to learn more about these three fabrics and which one is right for your boat.
You'll need to pattern your bimini top on an existing bimini frame. If you don't have a frame installed, we have frame kits you can order as well. To learn how to assemble your Bimini Frame Kit, check out the “How to Install a 2-Bow Bimini Frame” (#300191XHT) video.

Every Sailrite Bimini Skin Kit is designed to fit perfectly with a Bimini Frame Kit for a professional-looking bimini durable enough to last season after season.
A Bimini Frame Kit and Bimini Skin Kit together from Sailrite give you the great opportunity to customize everything from the material of the frame to the color of the canvas! Our frame kits come with all the hardware and supplies needed to assemble and install the bimini frame, while a paired skin kit includes the fabric and supplies needed to sew the bimini top.
