How to Measure Your Shorestation Canopy

Getting the right frame size for your Shorestation lift is critical before purchasing a replacement canopy. A canopy that's even a few inches off can snag, flap in the wind, or wear out faster than it should. Here's a clear guide to getting it right.

What You'll Need:
 • A tape measure
 • Ladder (if needed)
 • Notepad or phone to record measurements

Step 1: Measure the Frame Width

 • Measure the outside to outside of the frame. 
 • Go across the widest part of the frame.

Common widths:
108" (9 ft)
120" (10 ft)
132" (11 ft)

You should measure the width in inches.

Step 2: Measure the Frame Length

 • Measure from front to back
 • Again, go outside-to-outside of the frame

You should measure the length in feet.

Step 3: Identify Your Shorestation Frame Style

1. Revolution Series (modern, boxy-frame):


How to recognize it:
• Flat, boxy sides (not rounded)
• Deep frame (about 20” tall)
• Clean, modern look
• Often has a roll-up canopy system

This is ShoreStation’s newest design with a rigid structure and roll-up functionality for easy storage and installation.

2. Standard Frame (Classic/Legacy Style):

How to recognize it:
• Rounded, arched top
• Traditional canopy look
• Fabric stretches over curved ribs

This is the most common and “classic” ShoreStation canopy style, designed for durability and long-term use.

3. Steel Frame:



How to recognize it:
• Similar shape to standard frame
• Heavier-duty metal construction
• Less common on newer setups

If your frame feels heavier and less aluminum-like, this may be it.


4. Tower Frame (For Tall Boats / Wake Boats):

How to recognize it:
Taller than standard canopies
Designed for wakeboard towers or pontoons
Often includes 36” valance (extra side drop)

If your boat has a tower or sits high, this is likely your setup.

Open End vs. Zippered End
Once you’ve identified your frame, check the ends:
Open End → open airflow, easier access
Zippered End → more protection from sun, rain, debris
