Just looking for ideas or possibly companies who sell them. I really don't want to go with a bimini due to cost and it getting in the way plus a height issue. I have searched Google images and see a lot of different designs including PVC framing that bend over the boom. I know there will be times where I anchor and sit and play in my kayaks all day but would love to have a tent over the cockpit to get out of the sun at least some of the time. The picture attached is a sweet design but looking for any others and any that are able to be purchased.

A fellow sailing friend gave us their Blue Performance boom tent/tarp. It's got a lot of adjustable strapping and ceiling vents, and it rolls up to a pretty small package, although I suspect a simple tarp would be almost as effective.
