Pacific Blue solution-dyed acrylic, water repellent and mildew resistant, cut to fit 1 inch and 1-1\/4 inch frames up to 102 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pontoon top eventually gives up. The frame stays fine for years, but the fabric is what takes the beating. Sun, rain, wind at highway speed on the trailer, season after season of it. When the canvas fades out, splits at a seam, or just stops shedding water the way it used to, you don't need a whole new top. You need this. The Carver 8 foot replacement pontoon top canvas in Pacific Blue laces onto your existing frame and gets you back in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is replacement fabric only, not a complete top with poles and hardware. It's cut to fit 1 inch square and 1-1\/4 inch square tube frames up to 102 inches wide, with an 8 foot length front to back. If that matches the frame already on your boat, this canvas will snap and lace on right where the old one came off. Measure your existing top before you order. The width and the tube size both have to line up, and square-tube hardware doesn't play nice with a round-tube frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is solution-dyed acrylic, the same Sunbrella and Outdura grade canvas Carver builds their factory tops from. That matters more than it sounds. Solution-dyed means the color goes all the way through the fiber instead of sitting on the surface, so it holds up to UV far longer than a coated polyester top. Pacific Blue is a deep, classic marine color that looks right on just about any pontoon. It's water repellent, mildew resistant, and treated to fight the sun, which is exactly what you want stretched over your family on a July afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few things we've learned from boaters running these tops. On wider beams the 8 foot length can sag a little in the center over time, so if your frame is on the broad end, a center support strap keeps it drum-tight. The mildew resistance is real, but it only works if you put the canvas away dry. Roll up a damp top and you'll find black spots in a few months, so let it breathe before you stow it. And rinse the salt off now and then. Pacific Blue fades slowly, but salt rings will show on any dark canvas if you let them bake in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapping the canvas is straightforward on most frames. Strip the old top off the bows, then work the new one over the same frame, front bow first, and snap or lace it down as you go. Take your time getting the tension even so the fabric sits flat with no low spots that puddle rainwater. Most folks knock this out in an afternoon with a second set of hands to hold the bows. No special tools, no sewing, no trip to a canvas shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment is the whole game with replacement canvas. This one covers a big swath of pontoons in the 20 to 26 foot range that came with a standard 8 foot top, but frames vary by builder and by year. If you're not certain your frame is a 1 inch or 1-1\/4 inch square tube at 102 inches or less, give us a call before you buy. We'd rather spend five minutes on the phone than have you wrestling a canvas that's an inch off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarver has been sewing marine canvas in the USA for over thirty years, and it shows in the little things. Straight stitching, reinforced stress points, and thread that doesn't rot out before the fabric does. That's the difference between a top that looks tired in two seasons and one that's still shedding water in year five. Buy the canvas that matches the frame you've got, take care of it, and it'll earn its keep every weekend you're on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 foot length front to back, sized to replace a standard pontoon top canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 1 inch and 1-1\/4 inch square tube frames up to 102 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolution-dyed acrylic canvas (Sunbrella \/ Outdura grade) with color through the fiber for long UV life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePacific Blue, a deep classic marine color that suits most pontoons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater repellent finish sheds rain and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMildew resistant treatment holds up when the canvas is stored dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV-protective fabric built to take season after season of direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement canvas only, laces and snaps onto your existing square-tube frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA with reinforced stress points and marine-grade thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Carver by Covercraft reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this a complete top or just the canvas?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's the replacement canvas only.
