DIY bimini mod thread

VERY nice Mikey, those tops are pricey and you made out well for yourself. I'm actually in the process of making my own floating bimi top from scratch. I bought this neat marine grade black canvas online at directfabric.com, and I'm welding together galvanized tubing for the shape that I think looks and works well with my tower. I'm basically clamping it on the main top beam of the tower, and the back two legs. I'll have to send you pics when its complete.
Good post.

Haha very funny Maple, but if I lower them any more they wont protect the rub rail.

CDA searching wakeworld for DIY bimini should lead you to several posts where people built DIY solid biminis from tubing. That is definitly a great route to go as well. Very interested to hear/see more! I'm sure there are some tough spots to engineer like quick disconnect and etc. Gonna make it hold boards too? Very neat. Mine is more like....free
