To begin with, all of Carver's products are designed and engineered in Landrum, SC. Their factory is located in Landrum, SC. Carver is an excellent marine-product manufacturer. Here are a few things that make their Bimini tops stand out from the competition:
- Carver Bimini top frames are made with 7/8" heavy wall anodized aluminum or stainless steel tubing. Their main bows are double-walled, ensuring strength where you need it.
- The fittings which come standard on the top are high grade nylon which is obtained domestically. Stainless steel fittings are available as an upgrade.
- The areas of highest pressure on a Bimini top are the attachment points for the front and rear straps. Many competitors use plastic or wire clips/hooks to affix the straps to the boat. Carver recognizes that these attachment points receive the most stress, and they accommodate for that by only using heavy duty nickel-plated brass snap hooks and eye straps.
- Carver Industries is a green manufacturer, recycling over 90% of their waste.
- All adjuster buckles and assembly fasteners are made using high grade stainless steel.
- Bimini top canvases are bound using only 100% marine grade black acrylic.
- Bimini tops are stitched using weather resistant anti-wick thread. There are absolutely no raw edges in the stitching.
- Carvers tops are warrantied from 3-10 years depending on material purchased.
- Carver takes the guesswork out of choosing your Bimini size. Chances are, they already have a size suggested to your boat!
- All full Carver Bimini tops will come with a free matching storage boot.
- All mounting hardware is included with your full Bimini top purchase.
