Abstract
A tilting canopy has a canopy frame, at least one actuator, a plurality of canopy supports, and a support frame. The canopy frame is hingedly connected to the support frame through two medial supports, such that the medial supports act as pivot points for the canopy frame. The at least one actuator is engaged between the canopy frame and the support frame such that the at least one actuator is configured to rotate the canopy frame about the pivot point between a lowered position and a raised position. In the raised position, a user may store a boat or other vehicle or item with towers, Bimini tops, or other features which would normally be prohibitive of moving the boat or other vehicle beneath the canopy.
