Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Using combination of leftover aluminum pipes for lightweights, and PVC (3/4in and 1/2in) for flexibility, time to create a few fast biminis that cost only $60, rather than $200, with optional customization.

Bimini frame extends from Hobie Mirage Outback SUV sailport add-on to the rear side livewell carrier. Live well carrier areas are retrofitted with 2 seats for the kids, and quickly removed to accommodate large dogs as well. None of the bimini on the market can provide such full protection.

One cover is 80% sun-mesh, providing single layer protection without acting like a sale in high wind for the deserts. The mesh is porous enough to prevent the wind acting on the bimini cover, creating a anti-forward movement. I don't want to be blown away with 25+ mph wind conditions.

Frame on both kayak has a bail-out mode. If the frame is unstable during sudden high wind condition, the upper cover can be ejected immediately. If conditions get worst, frames can also be ejected by a mere pull of two anchor lines on the cleats. Safety over money.

Thanks Carl. Always have safety in mind before any practicality.

Ken, the material is the sun mesh, design to minimize sun light penetration by 60%, but I doubled the layering. The mesh can be found at Harbor Freight for 1/3 the price.
