Teal Boat Enclosure


The owner was very happy with this Bimini enclosure, we used Sunbrella canvas and Strata-Glass for the windows around the front. We used roll plastic and Phifertex screen for the drop curtain, along with heavy duty YKK plastic zippers. His old top snapped to the windshield, so we added a bow in the front to increase visibility and when it is hot he can take out all the windows and get air flow all around the top.

Country Lanes Awnings and Windbreaks


These are two awnings we finished a couple weeks ago on Country Lanes bowling ally in Franklin, WI. We welded square galvanized steel tubing for the frames and supports which we cleaned and painted the welds to make them less noticeable. We sewed the covers out of a green Northstar vinyl awning material. We also wrapped the support posts as well as the volleyball posts in foam covered in the same green material. Also, windbreaks were added to the hall entrance awning for extra protection from the wind. The larger awning covers the new outdoor bar next to the volleyball court while the smaller indicates the entrance to their hall.

Burgundy Awnings on The Alibi


We recovered and restored these four awnings on the Alibi, in West Allis, WI. First we straightened a bent bit on one of the awnings and added a support to alleviate a sagging problem. Then we brushed and cleaned the awnings before priming and painting the frames, two coats each. We then sewed up new canvas covers for all the awnings out of Burgundy Sunbrella fabric. The photos feature the satisfied customer, and the awnings of course. Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!
