    Splicing two 1” square Bimini tubes

    It's normally just a section of smaller square tube. For example on 1-1/4" 1/8 wall, a section of 1" square tube is used as the connector So for 1", the two square tube sizes to use would be 3/4 or 7/8 depending if you have 1/16 wall or 1/8" wall bow tubes
