What type of zippers to used for bimini tops
by: Tammy

Separating zippers are the standard for bimini tops.
That is because they do need to separate and rezip again using the locking mechanism that the mating box and pin provide. This mating and locking of the zipper provides the security needed from damaging high winds.

Chain zipper would not allow the opening and re-closing of the zipper each time. Chain zippers would more often be used on boat enclosures or even entry points on boat covers.

I hope this helps .
Happy boating!

Hello, Do you always use finished zippers for biminis or do you use continuous chain and cut to size? If you use continuous, how do you deal with booth ends so that the bimini can be removed? Thank you!!
