Boat enclosures like bimini tops, windows, and awnings come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Choosing the right one can be tricky and that’s why educating yourself before making a purchase is important; after all, you don’t want to buy the wrong textile for your project.
So, what are the different types of boat enclosure materials? Basically, there are three main types: flexible clear vinyl, polycarbonate, and acrylic. The differences in these three options vary; here’s a quick run-down on each one:
The three different types of boat enclosure materials presented above all have pros and cons. If you’re looking for a flexible enclosure that you can roll up but still be stable when deployed, vinyl is perfect.

Really, the choice is up to you. But remember that when choosing a boat enclosure material you also have to consider what environment you’re in: Are you on a lake or do you boat out on the sea? Are your boating conditions typically rough or calm? There are many factors that go into choosing the right material that involve more than just cost and style. When in doubt, always consult a professional.
