Cockpit and Deck Shade
Our Cockpit Sun Shade Side Curtains are the perfect addition to enhance your sailing experience. After a great day on the water don't let the glare and heat of the sun put a damper on your relaxation time.
Sewn Sails Sun Shade Side Curtains tame that merciless sun. Install these shade curtains on your bimini to knock out the heat of the sun while you are lounging at anchor or at the dock.
We install the twist lock fittings and send the socket fittings to be installed on your bimini. Once our fittings are installed on your bimini the sun shades can be hung in just a couple minutes. Our Sun Shades cut the heat and glare of the sun with a shade factor of 92.5%. Our Phifertex Plus sunshade fabric shades are made from 100% vinyl-coated polyester, are engineered to stay flexible in all climates and features Microban® anti-microbial protection.
One Sun Shade can shade both sides of your cockpit by installing attachment fittings, properly spaced to match the shade, on port and starboard sides of your bimini. You can even place the shades fore and aft on your bimini moving your shade to the appropriate location to control the sun. Of course you can always order two, three or even four shades, one for each side. We love it when you do that.
For the most versatile use of our Sun Shades we suggest one shade to be mounted port or starboard as needed and one shade for the stern.
Our Sun Shades not only tame the sun but do double duty as a privacy screen.
We make these shades in a variety of standard sizes but, if you need something different, we can easily accommodate your custom order. All you have to do is contact us for a quote.
These shades are also great for home. Sewn Sails can make Sun Shades for your porch, patio, deck or anywhere else you need shade.
Installation:
Our Cockpit Shade Side Curtains are very easy to install and we have a couple of options for you. AS far as hardware, we like to use "Common Sense Twist Lock" Fasteners with the stud mounted on the curtain. It makes for a much cleaner installation on the bimini. We can reverse the mounts and put the studs on the bimini if you prefer. You can also use snap fasteners. We can even install grommets or zippers. You tell us what you want. We think the twist locks are much easier to use.
As far as installing the hardware, if you are local to the Mobile, Alabama area we will install the hardware on your bimini for you. For you out of towners we will send the appropriate hardware with the top and you can install it or, if you pay the shipping, you can send use your bimini and we will install it for you.
The shade pictured is 46" x 88".
Our Hatchway Door Panel is the perfect solution for closing your companionway while allowing easy access to the cabin or deck. Removing and replacing hatch boards each time you go in and out of the cabin is truly a pan in the butt. Some sailors drape towels or tarps but these methods provide no thermal protection and make leaving or entering the cabin a burdensome ordeal.
Our door panels make it easy. Grab the handle and move the panel aside to enter or exit then snug the panel back in place to close your cabin.
Our door panels are made with a 3 inch thick foam which provides structure, stiffness and a very good thermal barrier to keep the outside temperature and humidity out and the inside temperature in.
The example shown in the pictures was constructed using the customers own material. I make these out of marine Sunbrella for durability so your choices are the spectrum of Sunbrella fabric. We can make a panel out of other fabric selected by you but you would have to get the fabric to us. Contact us with your measurements and we can give you and estimate of the amount of material needed.
If you decide one to be made from your own fabric any leftover material will be returned to you with the finished product.
This is a custom product which will require you to take accurate measurements to obtain a good fitting product.
Please Note: This is a custom product. The $125.00 price is the minimum charge for this item. Your final price will depend on the size of the panel required and the fabric you choose. I am happy to provide you a quote based on your measurements and fabric. If you order before speaking with us we will contact you to discuss your specific requirements and provide a quote.
We have provided a weight for the panel to allow our shopping cart to compute a shipping charge. we will use the actual shipping charge incurred for your door panel in the computation of the final price of this custom item.
