Has anybody tried to make their own bimini that attaches to the tower.

I was looking around online, and it doesn't seem too difficult. Any resources would be a great help.

I found these to attach the bimini on diywake.com:

Any resources/help/online pages/etc... would be a great help.

If you search for tower bimini on ebay, there is a person that is trying to sell it there. looks like a very, very simple design.

Thanks,
Ben

I made my own tower so a custom bimini was only real option. I bent up lots of styles in electirical conduit and then took final design to custom canvas shop and had them make the bimini. Turned out pretty well, costs about 450 in Sunbrella with boots. I dunno how to post pics or I would.

type something in to this box, then hit preview after typing.

Once it has advance you to the preview screen there is something called Add An Attachment, Filename. Then browse for the photo you want to attach. Then hit the add attachment button. Then Submit

wakeboardin2k4, or instead of using the "Quick Reply" field you can click further down "post reply", where you can type in your message and attach files from there.

Doesn't seem like there is much interest in this, but here is some blurry finished product pictures.
