Awnings • Biminis • Canopies • Sunroof Systems
Makefast is the U.K.’s leading manufacturer
and supplier of manual and electric sliding
roofs, awnings and bimini hydraulic units.
Sunroofs
Makefast powered sunroof systems incorporate either
a solid panel to provide a hardtop, or canvas to allow
a longer open area. Electrically driven, reliable and
easy to operate.

Narrow Track Sunroofs
Makefast is proud to announce their latest product
innovation - the “Narrow Track Sunroof System”.
This budget, compact and stylish unit is ideal for
boats where the track channels are narrow,
and fits many existing roof profiles.
Bimini Hydraulic Units
Makefast’s cutting edge ”Bimini Power system” allows
one person, at the touch of a button, to deploy or stow a
Bimini in 60 seconds, instead of several crew members
taking up to fifteen minutes with traditional structures.
In addition, the Bimini can remain deployed whilst
cruising at up to 35 knots. A cumbersome procedure
made easy.
Manual or Powered Awning
To complement the current Makefast range of powered
Sunroofs and Bimini units, Makefast introduces their
new “Powered Sun Awning”. It features a compact
electrically powered drive unit, which deploys a rigid
316-grade stainless steel structure, secured with auto
tensioning pivot arms. Complete with canvas shade.
