Hey guys,
I got a question about ordering replacement bimini top fabrics. I got an older one given to me for my 14' Mckee, so I don't know the exact product measurements for it. It's time to retire it, but I plan on just reusing the frame. My question is what is the exact parts of the top that I measure to order a replacement? The canvas itself not on the frame? Or when it is on the frame? Because when it is on it curves at the top and comes down part of the side of the frame. I plan on ordering online, so I want to make sure it's the exact size. I'm pretty sure the overall length is 6', but dunno about measuring the width or height. Does the overall height of my top affect ordering a replacement fabric? Thanks in advance guys.

I'd advise you to either go to a local shop for replacement, or call the manufacturer of whatever mail-order top you're considering. If the current top fits well, why not just take it off and run it over to a local guy to replicate it?
