Hi all,
the bimini on my boat is in pretty poor shape and needs to be repaired or replaced.

I got a quote for custom sewing of replacement canvas but it's out of my budget. So I've ordered one of the Oceansouth ready made Bimini's - $1000 on Amazon for the 2.7-3m width version
www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07SHQ26CX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I'm going to need to customise it for my split backstays which will have to go through the canvas - i.e. make some cuts in the canvas, bind & add zipper or velcro panels with some extra subrella fabric.

Has anyone done anything like this? How did you go?

thanks!

Put a zip in right across, but make sure you also have a velco fixed cover to protect the zip from the sun.
