Pontoon Canopy Lift Systems
Keeping your boat out of the water is just one part of protecting it from the elements. A pontoon lift canopy cover is the only way to fully protect your pontoon while it’s on the lift and a must if you’re storing your boat on the water. As long as your boat is outdoors, it’ll be constantly exposed to sun, wind, driving rain, debris, and other hazards, which can ruin your watercraft inside and out. Cracking, fading, and peeling can not only take away from the look of your boat but in some places, it can affect how comfortable and functional your boat is and reduce its value—which makes covering it when it’s not in use even more important. Add in other hazards of waterfront exposure like mold and mildew growth and temperature extremes, and you want a canopy cover that will be able to stand up to harsh conditions while looking and performing its best.
TOP PRODUCTS FOR PONTOON CANOPIES
Pontoon Lift Cover Fabric Material
We pride ourselves on offering only the highest quality boat lift covers and products from materials to construction. We offer two premium replacement canopy cover material options: both are made in America with high-quality techniques and components designed for marine conditions, come in a wide array of color choices to fit your personal taste, and are compatible with the most popular boat lift and canopy brands on the market. Both materials are great options, and the decision is largely up to you. If you’re still not sure which one you want, though, you can request a canopy fabric sample before you order so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.
HarborTime replacement canopy covers are made of fabric and at 11 oz. per square foot offer a lighter weight option than vinyl—which is especially great on pontoon covers, which tend to be a lot larger. The acrylic-coated polyester fabric offers a soft cloth appearance and great visual appeal, abrasion resistance, and strength that make it well suited for marine life. HarborTime covers are UV and mildew resistant and cold crack resistant to -20 degrees below freezing. The fabric is stabilized to help it maintain a continuous fit even after seasons of use, and heat-welded seams mean incredibly durable bonds and a long-lasting cover.
13oz Vinyl is the other material we offer and a very common and economical choice. At 13 oz. per square yard, it’s lighter than the industry standard for equivalent covers, which means easier installation and removal without sacrificing protection and durability. And the protection it offers is great: 13oz Vinyl has excellent tear, UV, mold, and mildew resistance, with heat-welded seams making it one of the most durable choices on the market. The vinyl material is colorfast and tough enough for many industrial applications, which makes it a great fit for your waterfront as well.
A Perfect Pontoon Canopy Replacement Fit
Not every boat lift has the same dimensions, which means that not every pontoon lift canopy cover will fit every lift. This is especially important for today’s pontoon boats, which can get big and need the extra protection that other cover sizes won’t offer. A proper fit is the only way to guarantee maximum performance from your canopy cover, which means a fully protected pontoon.
At Boat Lift & Canopy, every one of our covers are handmade to order by our knowledgeable staff, which means that they’ll be properly sized and fitted no matter what brand of lift you’re using. We also have a style-specific measurement guide for many frame manufacturers—even if your label is gone, you can figure out what brand of lift you have based on its style, and we can work out the measurements from there. We can fit pontoon lift covers to ShoreMaster, Shore Station, FLOE, Hewitt, Porta-Dock, and many other brands.
