Carver Covers Bimini Top Slide Track Kits: Smart Storage Hardware for Your Bimini Top
Carver Covers — operating as Carver by Covercraft — is an industry leader in boat covers and bimini tops with over 40 years of experience fabricating products that withstand the rigors of boating. That deep marine expertise extends beyond the canvas itself and into every piece of supporting hardware, including their thoughtfully engineered line of Top Slide Kits, Slides, Locks & Caps.
What Carver's Slide Track Kits Do
When you fold down your bimini top, it needs somewhere to go. Carver's Bimini Top Slide Track Kits solve exactly that problem. These kits allow a retracted top to slide into a storage position as an alternative to a brace kit, keeping your folded bimini frame tidy, secure, and out of the way while you're underway or docking. It's a cleaner, more seamless solution than propping the top against a fixed brace.
What's Included in Each Kit
Carver designs these kits to be comprehensive and installation-ready right out of the box. Hardware is included to accommodate standard mounting or side mounting. Each aluminum slide track kit includes 2 slide tracks, 2 sliding deck hinges with combined slide locks, 2 side-mount sliding deck hinges, 2 slide locks, 4 end caps, and all necessary screws for mounting — one pair per package. The aluminum construction keeps the hardware lightweight while providing the durability needed in a demanding marine environment.
Available in Multiple Lengths
One of the practical strengths of Carver's slide track lineup is the range of sizes offered. Kits are available in lengths of 24", 36", and 48", each sold as one pair. This variety means boaters can match the slide track length to their specific bimini top frame and deck layout — whether they're outfitting a compact day cruiser or a larger pontoon boat.
Why Carver's Hardware Stands Out
What distinguishes Carver's slide kits from generic marine hardware isn't just the completeness of the kit — it's the integration. The sliding deck hinges with combined slide locks keep the bimini frame from shifting while stored, eliminating rattling and potential damage to canvas or frame tubing. The inclusion of end caps protects the open ends of the aluminum tracks from corrosion and sharp edges, a detail that reflects Carver's commitment to building products that hold up over seasons of use.
Carver bimini tops are available in 2-bow, 3-bow, and 4-bow round tube, and 4-bow square tube configurations to suit virtually any type of boat, and their slide track kits are designed to complement this full range of top styles. Whether you're replacing worn hardware on an existing Carver top or upgrading your current bimini setup, these kits deliver a factory-quality fit and finish.
For boaters who demand organized, secure bimini storage without the hassle of brace kits or makeshift solutions, Carver Covers' slide track hardware is the purpose-built answer — engineered by a brand that has spent over four decades mastering marine canvas and its supporting systems.
