Bimini-Top with roll bar STRANGE
This single tube roll bar with bimini top combines the advantages of a roll bar with the lightness of a regular bimini top.
The base and the side plates give strength to the structure and the possibility of applying navigation lights and other useful navigation tools. In addition, the single-tune roll bar makes the Strange less bulky on board and lighter than other Biminis with roll bar, for an overall aesthetic result similar to that of a bimini without a roll bar.
STRANGE also stands out for the practicality of its frame. The folding roll bar allows to quickly push down the entire structure in the bow during high-speed navigation or when not in use.
Moreover, the divisible zippers applied along the arch passage bands allow the canvas to be removed from the structure quickly and without having to disassemble it.
Bimini and roll bar frame details
The roll bar has a very robust frame (Ø 40 mm) made of highly polished stainless steel (AISI 316). The frame of the bimini top itself is made of stainless steel tubes (Ø 22 mm). The bimini has 2 front brackets. The roll bar itself can be folded at the bow.
Fabric details
The high-quality, 100% resin-coated acrylic fabric SUNBRELLA® PLUS (360g/m²) is used for the sunroof. It has an anti-fungal coating, making it mold resistant and easy to maintain. Thanks to the resin-based coating, the canvas is waterproof and UV-resistant. The fabric complies with the ISO 4920 standard and is available in 17 different colours. This solution-dyed acrylic fabric features piqué effects and color references to best coordinate with your boat.
Joints and screws
AISI 316 stainless steel joints reinforced and stainless steel screws.
Max. speed
The maximum recommended speed when cruising and the bimini is set up is 30 knots.
Dimensions
The bimini top has a height (C) of 140 cm.
The length (B) is 230 cm.
The width (A) depends on your width choice.
The dimensions of the mounting base is (C) 5 cm and (D) 27 cm.

Manufacturer information:
The starting point
The first measurement to take is the width between the right centre gunwale to the left centre one of the boat or, in case of an inflatable boat, the width between the right centre tubular to the centre left one.
From this size it can be evaluated which model of Bimini Top can be installed.




Thanks to the elasticity of its frame, the Bimini has an installation tolerance.
So, when the width of the boat is different from a standard one, is it possible to install a lower installation width from the real one.
However to grant a correct installation and optimal performance, we reccomend that the difference between widths is no more than 5%. On the contrary, we do not recommend to install a Bimini that has an installation width greater than the real width measured.
Example: A Bimini with an installation width of 200cm can be installed for real widths ranging from 200 to 210cm. But not for less than 200cm

Which height should be choosen?
The Bimini Tops are produced in height 95cm, 115cm and 140cm.
- A 95cm high Bimini Top is suitable for installations on boats with very high gunwales or for fastboats where it is not possible to stand up.
- A 115cm high Bimini Top is suitable for installation on guard rails or on boats with a minimum height of 80cm.
- For installation on gunwales of about 60cm. an height of 140cm is generally recommended



What is the difference between 2, 3 or 4 arches?
The transverse tube of the Bimini Top that crosses the boat in the direction of width is defined as an "arch". A greater number of arches are reflected in a greater strength of the frame and in a better tension of the covering fabric. Also higher speeds while having the Bimini Top unfolded are possible.
An important element to consider is the choice of the fabric
The following two fabrics are available:
- Resin-coated polyester is used on Bimini Tops with light frames, like on the models ELEGANCE, ELEGANCE PLUS and CHIC with Ø 20/25mm Aluminium tube or the models SPORT and SPORT PLUS with Ø20mm stainless steel tubes.
- Resin-coated acrylic is employed on Bimini-Tops with stronger frames like on the models ROYAL, ROYAL XL, LOOK UP, PRESTIGE and EXCLUSIVE with Ø 22/25/30mm stainless steel frame.
The frame is made of tubes and the diameter of these ones influences the overall strength of the Bimini Top.
The available diameters are 20/22/25/30mm:
- The aluminium or stainless steel frames with a diameter of 20mm are handy and light and suitable for small boats
- Whereas those with a diameter 22/25 or 30mm are recommended for larger boats. Whole stainless steel frames are very strong and of great aesthetic impact.
Another element to consider is the material of the jaw slides.
Nylon jaw slides are applied on light Bimini Tops with reduced dimensions, whereas stainless steel ones are applied to larger structures.
Deck hinges are elements that allow installing the Bimini Top in different ways. On the floor, on the guard rail, on sliding rails or on the tubulars of inflatable boats. Deck hinges can be chosen according to the various aesthetic and functional requirements, for any boat, both in nylon or stainless steel.
