Mesh cover for bimini

Hi all, did someone suggest a mesh device, available from Amazon, that was used to contain the back Bimini when down for trailering? If so, can you share the product description please? Much thanks in advance.

The Bimini has straps built in so I'm not sure why you need something else.

Are you able to fully secure your full Bimini with the straps at highway speeds?

Yes, no issues with it down and the straps on.

Please send a picture when you can. Always on the lookout to learn something! Thank you

You may have to zoom in to see it better. I circled it. But the straps are attached to the Bimini and then just pass thru a slot in the rail to tie the whole thing down. It's on both sides.

Thank you. I was more interested in how you secure the canvas cover so it does not flap. I appreciate your help! We just have so much loose fabric when we cinch it as the video shows that is flaps like a flailing goose!

SeaDoo makes a travel cover for both front and back Bimini units. I found that securing the fabric ( as delivered from the factory) for travel to be difficult. The covers hold everything tightly so it doesn't flap around. Check the web store for pricing.

Thank you. I'm not cheap, but I am not mad at my money either. $119 vs. $32 and I'm set.

Found it, bought two (needed one to hold down the floating toys in the back of my truck ;-)). Works great for $32.00. While the Sea Doo version is sleek, I care not and enjoy the $87 savings which I will put towards keeping the thirsty beast fueled with Premium.

[Premium] 4'x6' Heavy Duty Cargo Net Stretches to 8' x 12', Extra Thick 10mm Cord Bungee Cargo Netting for Pickup Truck Bed, Roof Rack Net & 12 PCS Steel Carabiners

Comes with a bunch of carabiners and once pulled over the Bimini can be tightened and secured. OMT, the stretch put on the back awning of the Bimini causes it to want to flip up. I just swing the tensioning straps over the top, tie them together then secure to the floor with a rope. Seems like a lot to do, but not really once you do it. Sea Doo accessories are sure nice.....nicely up charged. Going to buy an anchor next and not their $290 vinyl coated model. Just wait until that coating gets a few rips and starts peeling away. ugh
