Our Carver Bimini tops come standard with nylon fittings but the option to upgrade to stainless steel fittings is available. Bimini Top warranties are based on the material ordered, so the stainless and nylon fittings will have the same warranty. Both fitting types are very strong. If you experience an issue with fittings during the warranty period, CoversDirect® will replace them free of charge.
Stainless fittings will match the aluminum tubing of your Bimini top in color. We do offer stainless frames as well. Click here for full stainless frames with stainless fittings.
When you order a stainless upgrade, the pieces that are replaced with stainless are the jaw slides, eye ends, and deck hinges. While stainless fittings are an excellent Bimini top upgrade, the nylon fittings are also of high quality and should last for years to come.
