Our frames are constructed of 1” and 1-1/2” aluminum tubing and are somewhat light weight. With 4 people, 2 on the dock and 2 on the top deck, we can easily transfer the sections, from the port or starboard side of the houseboat to the top deck.

Once the Party Top frame is on the top deck resting on the railings, we than bolt the sections of the frame together. The legs are placed in position and loosely attached to the floor.

Once the frame is assembled, with 4 or more people the frame is lifted to the top of the legs that are already in position. We than finish with attaching the legs to the frame and securing them to the floor.

With the frame securely and completely assembled and installed, the last step is to install the Party Top cover on to the frame. The cover is made with Sunbrella Marine Fabric. We lace the Party Top cover with rope to make a tight fit to the frame.

So, if your houseboat needs shade on the top deck, this could be the fix you need.
