FLOE uses a premium-grade solution-dyed fabric that is water-resistant, has a more luxurious look, and weighs 50% less than comparable vinyl fabrics for easy removal and installation. The SDP fabric is urethane coated and UV protected. In addition to the durable construction, the full-length seams are heat sealed to minimize leaks. FLOE offers a variety of canopy lengths and widths to accommodate different watercraft sizes. The canopy frames adjust vertically and horizontally to match up perfectly with your boat and protect it from the elements.
Quick Clip™ and Elastic Tension-Belt™ systems
All of FLOE’s canopy systems incorporate FLOE’s exclusive Quick-Clip™ System with ergonomic finger grips allowing you to install and remove your canopy fabric in half the time of other systems. The exclusive Elastic Tension-Belt™ design provides constant tension on the fabric for a tailored look and tight fit.
Maxis™ Canopy
Easy access to your lift with the touch of a button.
The Maxis™ Canopy is another FLOE invention. It has 32″ of additional side coverage over standard canopy fabrics providing even more protection for your boat. Push a button and your canopy frame tilts up allowing easy access for boats with towers and pontoons with bimini tops. The unique mesh end design allows air to flow through the canopy.
64″ of total side coverage on all Maxis™ canopies.

Free-Standing Canopies - Full Coverage Without a Lift
Some boats stay in the water all season. Pontoon boats equipped with Sea-Legs®, fishing boats tied alongside the dock, and recreational boats in shallow water often don’t need a vertical lift but still benefit from overhead protection.
FLOE’s Free-Standing Canopy provides the same protection from UV exposure, rain, leaves, bird droppings, and other debris as a traditional lift canopy—without the lift underneath. Built from marine-grade aluminum and designed around FLOE’s proven 10.5′ AirMax™ canopy system, it’s a practical solution for waterfront property owners looking to protect their boat while keeping dock access simple.
Since 1983, FLOE has engineered aluminum waterfront systems for lake homeowners throughout the United States and Canada. The same engineering principles used in FLOE docks, boat lifts, and canopy systems are built into the Free-Standing Canopy design.
Specs That Matter
The Free-Standing Canopy is sized to accommodate a standard 8½-foot-wide pontoon boat and is compatible with all FLOE 10.5′ AirMax™ canopy covers.

Easy-Leveling™ — The Part Owners Actually Notice
Most canopy systems require shimming, manual adjustments, or getting into the water to make seasonal corrections.
FLOE’s patented Easy-Leveling™ System allows each corner of the canopy frame to be adjusted using a cordless drill directly from the dock. No wading into the lake. No leveling jacks. No seasonal frustration.
It’s the same practical engineering approach FLOE has been refining since 1983 across its dock, lift, and waterfront product lines.
The Free-Standing Canopy is sized to accommodate a standard 8½-foot-wide pontoon boat and is compatible with all FLOE 10.5′ AirMax™ canopy covers.
Popular With Sea-Legs® Owners
One of the most common applications for the FLOE Free-Standing Canopy is protecting pontoon boats equipped with Sea-Legs® or Ultra Legs®.
A pontoon can drive into position, and remain protected beneath the canopy throughout the boating season. The result is convenient dock access, overhead protection from the elements, and a clean shoreline setup without requiring a traditional vertical lift.
For pontoon owners who enjoy the convenience of self-leveling lift systems, a Free-Standing Canopy provides an effective way to add overhead protection while maintaining easy access to the water.
Canopy Accessories
Canopy Extensions make the AirMax Canopy ever Deeper
FLOE’s canopy extensions give you extra clearance so you can bring boats with towers and pontoons with bimini covers into your boat lift without having to fold anything down. Canopy extension kits add an additional 18″ of side coverage over standard canopies and are available in all of our popular SDP fabric colors. Canopy extensions require that the lift be anchored.
Canopy extensions use sturdy, fully adjustable aluminum frames that bolt to the bottom of the main canopy rails to support the extra fabric.
These are available for the AIRMAX canopies only.
Bird Deterrent
Keep pesky birds off your boat lift. The FLOE Bird Deterrent kit comes with four posts that install easily to your existing canopy. Fishing line (not included) is strung between the posts, keeping birds from perching on your canopy.
Find the Right Shoreline Setup
Whether you’re protecting a pontoon with Sea-Legs® or Ultra Legs®, evaluating a vertical boat lift, or upgrading your dock system, FLOE’s dealer network can help you select the right waterfront solution for your property.
