   Brenda Whicker is a certified/trained and experienced Marine Canvas Fabricator.  Most marine canvas work is done by “non-certified”, self trained individuals.  Don’t have one of your valued possessions worked on by amateurs.
   BEFORE YOU CHOOSE SOMEONE TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK ON YOUR BOAT, ASK THEM; HAVE YOU BEEN PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED AND ARE YOU CERTIFIED INMARINE CANVAS OR UPHOLSTERY WORK AND ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ANY PROFESSIONAL MARINE FABRICATOR ASSOCIATIONS ? 
   It may cost less but they may use inferior materials such as inexpensive or “seconds” fabrics, thin walled aluminum, untreated plywood, plastic fittings or non-stainless steel staples.  You are making a valued investment in your boat, this is not a place to “cut corners”.  Many catalogs offer bimini tops and road covers but you will find they are generally supplied with ¾” .056 aluminum. You will then have to install this yourself with mixed results, the bimini tops usually “wobble” when going down the lake.  We use only .065 aluminum in 7/8” or 1” and 1” stainless steel.
    We can custom bend the metal to fit your boat and use only first run quality fabrics like Sunbrella (Awarded the “Seal of Recommendation” by the Skin Cancer Foundation  and Aqualon..  We also use only stainless steel snaps, screws and marine grade thread. 
     For upholstery work we only use treated wood, high quality vinyl and stainless steel staples.

 We do all work on site and do not go to the lakes to work on houseboats or large cruisers.
