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.

Think about a storm fly from a Walmart tent. Cheap, available and it comes with poles, lines and some screen to make a companionway cover too. If you have a topping lift, you can adjust the height for more comfy accommodations. Another way to go . . . look up AnchorShade for ideas.
