I finally got around to getting a bimini top. It's mounted via collars on my tower, but I've been trying to figure out how I want to support it when not in the open position, and how I want to keep tension on the top. I wanted to use as few straps as possible, and definitely didn't want to use any straps on the back. I looked around the internet for some struts for the back, but couldn't find what I needed. So I made my own. I haven't finished mounting the front strap, and I still need to remove the rear straps from the top, but this gives you the idea. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
