Re: Bimini Top w/o Frame

Need more info.

Where did you get the top? Did it come with the boat? Where have you looked? Is it a bimini top or was it a camper top?

I've seen some catalogues offer bimini material only, but I think it's not cut or sewn....just a big square.

I think your best bet is to call local canvas or upholstery shops.

Any canvas shop can make one for you as well.

Best bet is contact a local canvas guy to sew up a new top. Get a quote and see if it is competitive. I'm all for keeping my coin local if it's cheaper than ordering online and I've ordered online to only learn it came from a local supplier.

What style of boat?
How big is the top?
3 ribs or 4?
Where are you?
Lots of questions...Sunbrella is your best fabric. West Marine have several styles and sizes. Lots of other suppliers as well as local craftsmen.
