I have a windshield attached to a bimini. We throw a mosquito net over this and have no difficulties sleeping in the cockpit in the summer on the lower Chesapeake bay. The mosquito net is queen size. I have mid boom sheeting and a large bimini that covers the cockpit from the backstay forward to almost the cabin top.
Between the windshield and the mosquito net it has made anchoring out much more enjoyable and doubled the space available especially when sitting at anchor in bad weather.

We've been interested in a bimini for a while and I realized that a full enclosure may allow us to spread out a bit at night (kids could sleep above, maybe?) Is it hard to get on and off? Does the bimini fold back to sail (we can't stand under our mast). What other configurations are there?
