Marine Canvas & Upholstery — Built for Boats

Bimini tops, boat covers, full enclosures, dodgers, and interior re-upholstery. 4 shops across the GTA, 100,000 sq/ft of workspace. Real marine work — not converted from furniture or auto upholstery. Serving boat owners since 2017.

Canvas & Upholstery Built for Marine Use

Bimini Tops & Dodgers

Custom-fitted bimini tops, bimini extensions, dodgers, and hardtop covers. Marine-grade Sunbrella, stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum frames. Engineered for the wind loads, UV exposure, and moored winter storage your boat actually sees.

Boat Covers & Enclosures

Full mooring covers, cockpit covers, travel covers, camper tops, and full side-curtain enclosures. Pattern-fitted to your exact boat — no generic sizing. Every cover is cut and sewn for the boat it's going on.

Seat Re-Upholstery & Interior Cushions

Cockpit seats, helm seats, interior settees, V-berth cushions, and custom inserts. Match OEM for a factory look, or upgrade materials when you're ready for something that lasts longer than what came from the builder.

Built for the Conditions Your Boat Actually Lives In

General upholstery shops can sew a cover. Marine canvas specialists design one to survive the specific conditions your boat actually lives in.

We work with marine-grade materials every day: Sunbrella (industry standard, solution-dyed acrylic), Stamoid (premium PVC-coated polyester for maximum water resistance), Phifertex (breathable mesh for hot-weather seats), Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl (UV and microbial-pinking resistant for seats and cushions), and marine-grade thread, zippers, and hardware throughout.

And we know where each one fits. Sunbrella weight choice for a moored boat versus a trailered one. Frame geometry that won't flutter at 30 knots. Seam placement that sheds water instead of trapping it. The things that take a cover from "looks good on day one" to "looks good five seasons in."

Right Material, Right Application

We match the right material to the right application, and we stand behind the workmanship regardless of which fabric we use.

FAQ

Why is marine canvas different from regular upholstery?

Marine fabrics are UV-stabilized, mildew-resistant, salt-tolerant, and engineered for constant flex and exposure to weather. Auto and furniture upholstery is built for indoor or short-exposure use and fails fast in marine conditions — fading, cracking vinyl, mildew bloom, broken stitching at flex points. The sewing technique, thread, hardware, and pattern-fit tolerances are also different. A boat cover that doesn't shed water is a boat cover that grows mildew.

How long does a custom bimini take?

Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks from measure to install, depending on season and frame complexity. Off-season turnaround (late fall through early spring) is faster — often 2 weeks. Spring peak can stretch to 4 weeks. We'll give you a real timeline when we quote.

Do you do warranty repairs on canvas you didn't make?

Yes for most cases. Send photos with measurements and we'll quote the repair. We don't honor other shops' warranties, but we can repair almost any marine canvas — restitching, zipper replacement, panel patching, frame work, window replacement. If the original work is past saving, we'll tell you that too.

What materials do you use?

Sunbrella for canvas and shade applications, Stamoid for enclosure window panels, Phifertex for breathable screening, and Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl for seat re-upholstery. Marine-grade thread, zippers, and hardware throughout. The Materials & Warranty section above has the full breakdown by application and warranty term.

Which TYC location should I visit?

Depends on where your boat lives. Lake Simcoe boat owners typically visit Krates (Keswick). Port Severn / Georgian Bay boats are handled at Driftwood Cove. Brechin / Lagoon City boats at Grand Harbour. Toronto-area boats at our Unwin Avenue shop. Pick a preferred location in the form — or select "No preference" and we'll route you to the closest fit.
