Telescopic shading
This unique powered TPX shade design utilises patented self-supporting telescoping framework technology for installation on any boat with an overhead structure. With many versatile applications, this compact telescopic shading system can be either flat or curved with optional valance fitting brackets to enable a seamless blend into the structure. With a 3.5m maximum width and 2.1m maximum extension, this shade is suitable for a huge range of boat sizes.
premium sun canopies
The FPX electric retractable canopy offers a sleek sunshade for aft areas. Constructed with stylish stainless steel tube, the canopy can be deployed by it's single electric motor. Gas springs within the folding arms keep the canopy under constant tension at any stage of deployment. Choose from a stainless valance as standard or custom valance fitting brackets to achieve a seamless finish when stowed. With a 3.5m maximum width and 2.6m maximum extension, this shade is a perfect solution for larger boats.
retractable soft roofs
Our sliding soft canvas retractable roof options are a hugely versatile option for adding more light and ventilation: they can be scaled to fit most boats up to a size of 4m x 4m and come as powered and manual options to suit the specific application. Utilising our proven hardware, our RX and RSX soft roof ranges have been developed with easy operation in mind. The main beams have individual tensioning systems to ensure the fabric is under constant tension. The systems can also be locked in various customisable open positions. The RSX stacking roof option maximises the opening space.
