Taylor Made Products Anchorshade III Boat Shade, 6 Foot x 6 Foot, White

The Taylor Made Products Anchorshade III is a 6 foot by 6 foot square boat shade designed to shield the cockpit or deck from sun while anchored or running at idle speed on calm water. It mounts on an adjustable support pole with a 4-point locking height adjuster and a Sur-Lock push-up mechanism, letting it extend up to 8 feet to suit different boat heights. The frame uses solid fiberglass structural ribs paired with a powder-coated aluminum pole, so the frame resists rust even if the coating is scratched, and the canopy itself is made of UV-resistant polyester that measures 72 inches across. Non-corrosive hardware keeps the canopy taut and secure in winds under 10 miles per hour. Setup uses adjustable straps to anchor the shade to the boat, and the whole unit packs down into an included carrying case with a shoulder strap for storage or transport. Beyond boating, the same shade can be set up dockside or on the beach for portable sun cover. Care is simple: hand wash only with mild soap, air dry, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use. This White colorway is one of several finishes offered in the Anchorshade III line.
