Default Custom boat covers and enclosures

Hey team, lookin at getting a bimini for my boat and would like to get an enclosure that you can zipper onto the bimini so I can still head out in the rain. I've looked all over the interweb and can only find a bimini for my boat and not the enclosure. Im guessing im gonna have to get one custom made. Does anyone know of a place around Red Deer that makes custom canvas and snap covers for boats? Thanks.

I found this 1 picture of the same boat with the enclosure I was thinking of, but no info on where they got it. So any help would be appreciated

I don't know of a Red Deer location - however, if you find yourself stuck, and can leave your boat for a week (drop off Sunday pick-up Friday) Wayne's upholstery here in Edmonton will do a premium and high quality job. You are likely to pay 20% more at Wayne's but they use heavier vinyl, clear and abrasion resistant clear panels, seams are glued and double stitched with backed buttons with belted reinforcement.

The poles are also heavier gauge tubing and sleeved with nylon fittings (not plastic or brittle cast materials) that will break at the most inopportune times.

If you are going to spend a few grand to get it done - get it done right. You won't be disappointed.

I have done quite a few repairs, covers, and panels at a number of places and nothing compares to the quality of this little mom and pop shop.

x100 for Sew Wut. Contrary to what was posted above, I believe Annette is reasonably priced compared to others. Quality and attention to detail is exceptional. Great to work with, outstanding quality.
