Los Biminis de aluminio anodizado también ofrecen excelentes características y ventajas que los convierten en una opción muy atractiva.
• Construcción ligera:
El aluminio anodizado es considerablemente más ligero que el acero inoxidable. Los navegantes que desean reducir el peso total de la embarcación o que disponen de embarcaciones de menor tamaño apreciarán la ligereza de los Biminis de aluminio.
• Resistencia a la corrosión:
Aunque no ofrece la misma resistencia a la corrosión que el acero inoxidable, el aluminio anodizado proporciona una excelente protección frente a la corrosión. Esto lo convierte en una opción ideal para aguas dulces o zonas con una menor exposición a ambientes salinos.
• Facilidad de instalación:
Gracias a su menor peso, el aluminio anodizado resulta más fácil de manipular durante el montaje. Los usuarios que priorizan una instalación sencilla o que prevén desmontar y volver a instalar el Bimini con frecuencia encontrarán en el aluminio una solución muy práctica.
• Excelente relación calidad-precio:
Los Biminis de aluminio anodizado suelen ser más económicos que los fabricados en acero inoxidable. Son una excelente opción para quienes buscan una solución rentable sin renunciar a la calidad.
En definitiva, la elección entre un Bimini de acero inoxidable y uno de aluminio anodizado dependerá de las necesidades y preferencias de cada usuario. Tanto si eliges acero inoxidable como aluminio, con un Bimini Oceansouth tendrás la seguridad de adquirir una solución de sombra marina innovadora, duradera y fabricada con los más altos estándares de calidad, diseñada para adaptarse a una amplia variedad de condiciones de navegación.

for trailering purposes.

• Can I replace the fabric with a different colour?
Choose from the range of colours in the link below – Fabrics
• Can I fit a clamp on rod rack to the back?
Yes, yet you will need to ensure you have back support poles for the rod rack to clamp onto.
• How do I drive on the road with the bimini?
You have two options for folding the bimini:
Option 1: Pack the bimini into the provided storage boot. Unclip the straps and/or support poles (if added), then fold the bimini down flat.
Option 2: If you’ve added back support poles, unclip the front straps, fold them back towards the back support poles (whilst standing up) and zip the fabric into the provided storage boot.
• Can I fold my bimini flat both forward and back?
While it is recommended to fold the bimini back, there might be instances where folding it forward is necessary, especially if there’s an accessory blocking the way.
However if you are folding forward, make sure the bimini doesn’t protrude beyond the sides of the boat’s bow, as this could pose issues during road transportation.
• What is the difference between the Whitewater Bimini and the Whitewater Pro?
Whitewater Pro – 3mm wall thickness tubing and 900mm high (can add 150mm extenders).
Whitewater Standard – Standard 1.6mm wall thickness tubing and 1.2m high.
• Can I cut my bimini down or increase the height?
Yes, you can trim down the bimini with a maximum trim allowance of 30cm. Please refer to the instructions provided with the bimini for guidance.
However, it’s not possible to increase the height of any bimini except for the Whitewater Pro model. For the Whitewater Pro, we offer 150mm extenders that can be plugged into the bimini for height extension.
• Can I mount my bimini on rails?
Absolutely, you can mount the bimini onto rails. Simply acquire one of our knuckles (link provided below). When installing – Instead of using the deck mount, replace it with the knuckle and attach it securely to the 25mm rail.
Please Note – If your rail diameter is smaller or larger than 25mm, you’ll need to obtain a different attachment to fit those rails, as our knuckles are designed specifically for 25mm diameter rails
• Can I mount my bimini on an inflatable or RIB boat?
Yes. Select the Inflatable Boat Deck Hinge from the website and ensure you also have a strong, marine grade adhesive to fix the deck hinge to the boat’s surface.
• How should I clean my Bimini?
-To clean your cover, use a soft brush and luke warm water
-Do not use harsh laundry soap or chemical detergent as they may damage the protective UV coating on your cover.
-A mild, soapy detergent (even dishwashing liquid) is perfect to remove dirt and grim.
-For the more stubborn and inground stains, we recommend using a polyester canvas cleaner available from most camping and auto stores.
-Air dry
Note: To prolong the life of your cover it is important that it is clean and completely dry before storing.
