How to choose the right canopy fittings
When choosing canopy fittings, you should base your choice on the type of boat, canopy construction and how the boat is used. For exposed environments, stainless steel canopy fittings are recommended, which are more resistant to salt water and moisture. Also check which type of canopy attachment fits existing arches and attachments. Arch fittings need the right dimensions and stability to provide secure support for the canopy. Also keep in mind that canopy eyelets and buttons should work together with the material and create an even load across the entire structure.

Awning brackets
Awning brackets, awning buttons and awning eyelets are used to keep the awning taut and secure to the boat. They are available in several designs depending on the area of use and material. Correctly mounted awning fittings reduce wear and make the awning easier to use in everyday life. A stable awning bracket is crucial for the awning to sit correctly even under load.
Bow fittings & deck fittings
Bow fittings and deck fittings create a stable foundation for the canopy construction. They are used to mount and fix bows to the boat. Stainless steel canopy fittings are particularly popular because they can withstand tough marine environments and provide long durability.
Frequently asked questions about canopy fittings
Which canopy fittings are best suited for saltwater?
For marine environments, stainless steel canopy fittings are recommended because they have high resistance against corrosion and moisture.
How do I know which canopy attachment I need?
It depends on the canopy construction and the boat's existing attachments. Check dimensions and how the load is distributed across the bow.
What are canopy eyelets used for?
Canopy eyelets reinforce holes in the canopy fabric and are used to create durable attachments together with fittings and buttons.
When should bow fittings be replaced out?
If fittings have become loose, bent or show signs of corrosion, they should be replaced to avoid damage to the canopy and reduced stability.
