Custom marine upholstery and squabs

At Douglas, we know that reliable protection on the water is essential, not just from the harsh sun, wind, and spray, but also from the wear and tear that comes with time.

Whether your current marine canopies, covers, or clears have become tired, worn, or damaged, we specialise in rejuvenating and restoring them to like-new condition.
 
We custom make all marine canopies and accessories to your exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting durability. If you have existing frames or structures, we can replace worn fabrics with quality marine-grade materials to breathe new life into your setup.

Bimini tops for boats

Bimini tops are a popular choice for boat owners seeking versatile sun protection without sacrificing style or space. Our marine bimini covers are custom fabricated and expertly installed to fit your boat perfectly.
Whether you need a classic boat bimini installation, a fully custom frame, or just fabric replacement on an existing structure, Douglas delivers solutions tailored to your boating lifestyle. Our bimini tops provide excellent shade and are made from materials that resist UV damage, mildew, and wear for long-lasting performance.
 
We’re happy to guide you through fabric and frame options at our Hastings showroom, where you can see and feel the quality materials first-hand.

Marine dodgers

Marine dodgers (also known as spray hoods) are essential for shielding your cockpit and crew from spray and wind. Douglas specialises in crafting custom dodger covers to your exact measurements and style preferences.

If your dodger frame is in need of repair or rust treatment, we collaborate with trusted local specialists to ensure the full system functions flawlessly. For existing dodgers, we can replace old, worn fabric with fresh, durable marine materials.
 
Our skilled team uses heavy-duty marine fabrics and robust fittings to ensure your boat dodger withstands tough conditions while looking great.

Marine canopies and clears

Complete your vessel’s protection with custom marine canopies and clears that keep out wind, rain, and spray. Douglas fabricates and fits these vital accessories using premium materials engineered for marine use.

From fully enclosed canopies to clear vinyl windows that provide excellent visibility while shielding you from the elements, our marine canopies are designed for durability and ease of use. We custom make new canopies or replace fabric on existing frames, all tailored precisely to your vessel’s dimensions and requirements.

Collaboration with local boat builders & fabricators

We work closely with trusted local suppliers and specialists to resolve issues beyond fabric replacement – including aluminium frame repairs and rust treatment – so your marine canopies and accessories perform reliably and look great for years to come.

Using premium marine-grade fabrics chosen for toughness, UV resistance, and long life, we ensure your boat stays well protected against Hawke’s Bay’s elements.
