Lafayette, Tennessee
Custom marine canvas fabrication — enclosures, tops, bimini covers, and boat accessories built to withstand the elements, right here in Lafayette.
What We Do
Custom-fit sun shades and bimini covers in a range of colors and styles. Built with marine-grade materials for lasting UV and weather protection.
Complete boat enclosures with zip-in windows, removable panels, and ventilation. Keep the elements out while staying connected to the water.
Hard and soft top replacements for decks, cockpits, and walk-around configurations. Precision-cut to your boat's dimensions.
Zipper replacements, patch work, UV damage repair, and full restoration of existing canvas. Breathe new life into your boat's coverings.
From cockpit curtains and dodger covers to custom marine pillows and storage bags. If it's canvas and it's marine-grade, we can make it.
Professional on-site or shop installation for all canvas products. Proper fit and finish guaranteed — no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Our Story
John Day's Mariner Canvas has been serving boaters in the Lafayette area and beyond for over 40 years. What started as a one-person operation out of a garage has grown into one of the most trusted names in marine canvas fabrication in Middle Tennessee.
Every piece we make is cut, sewn, and finished by hand in our Lafayette shop. We work with premium marine-grade fabrics from Sunbrella, Solution Dyed Acrylic, and other top manufacturers — materials chosen specifically for their ability to endure sun, salt, and the unpredictable Tennessee weather.
