Constant exposure to sun, wind and driving rain can ruin your watercraft from the inside out. Cracking, fading and peeling not only takes away from the look, comfort and function of your boat, it reduces the value of your investment. Cottage Docks’s custom designed aluminum framed canopies are the perfect way to “top-off” the safety provided by your Cottage Docks Lift. Available in a variety of great colors, our nylon reinforced vinyl canopies provide years of beautiful maintenance-free protection. They’re built in many sizes and can be designed for other applications as well, including carports, boat slip covers and rail system covers. If you have a special canopy need just contact us.
Canopy frames are typically attached directly to the lift, but can be independent. The pictures 14 and 15 above are examples of stand-alone frames for your pontoon with legs. If you’re looking for something special, Cottage Docks offers two additional canopy styles that are both distinctive and functional.
Tower Canopy
The arched canopy provides greater vertical clearance,
allowing boat towers to remain in the upright position for storage.
Peak Roof Canopy
The steep pitch of a Peak Roof Canopy rapidly sheds water.
Its higher profile and clean lines accentuate the color of your canopy.
