Budget Sunshade

[Bottom Bracket]

These work pretty good,

Unfortunately I only have 1 front cleat right in the middle so it doesn't work well.

Update: Found a slightly different way to attach it with a bungie cord through the bow eye. Much happier with it now, testing it out at the sand bar tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing the pics……I’m gonna order the 9x5.

Has anybody tried the version without the back poles that was linked early in the thread on a T-top yet?

I like the idea of less setup and would be willing to sacrifice some coverage for the simplicity of this setup. Not sure how stable it would be in the wind though.

Ended up with the site shade. Probably should have done the 5X9 for my 240.

I ordered the 9’x5‘ Site-Shade and it should arrive tomorrow. I’ll post some photos once I get a chance to install it.

Got the 9x5 today and should be able to try it on the boat tomorrow. I was looking at your install photos and am wondering if the only connection points that you have at the bimini are the two velcro attachments? It looks like it stretches across really well and I didn’t think it would be that clean with only two mounting positions. Was there some trial and error until you got the connection positions just right?

It came with bungie cords that we loop around cleats and over the top of the bimini then under the side to the tower.

 

[WiskyDan]

Aaaah……OK. I didn’t have my bimini on so it was a bit awkward.

Not sure what I think of it yet…….

 

[jthackman]

seems like a good size and it fits well.
that material is interesting..thin and stretchy?
i'm waiting on cup/rod holders to arrive to mock fit my knock off oceansouth shade extension.

 

[WiskyDan]

Yup, it’s a spandex material and it stretches about a foot width wise and what seems like a couple feet length wise.

On the stern, it worked best when I connected one end to the transom strap rings on the underside of the transom but I’m not sure if it’s OK to submerge the material in water for extended periods of time.
