Well I just baught or im in the process of buying an 04 LS gotta love dealining with out of state banks (military) Anyway the boat I'm buying doesnt have a bimini. After looking at all the different types I definatly like the trampoline style and I am thinking of making one.
Heres what I'm thinking. My dad for years owned a fence company and I know for a fact that I can get a quality aluminium chainlink fence gate frame made to size by Master Halco for around 65 to 75 dollars I found a website that sells greenhouse building materials and they have all kind of nice clamps ect all cheap. Home depot sells shade fabric for dog runs that I have measured and should fit perfect already has all the eyeholes for attaching it to the frame or I could have it stiched pretty reasonable I can bend the frame at a slight arch add my cross bars and fabric and be in buisness for less than 200.
I was wondering if anyone has attempted anything like this and with what success. Let me know your thoughts. I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade and think its do able just dont want my boat to look cheap when its finished.
Let me know
