Re: Sun tracker party hut 28 enclosures/bimini top
Most people go to a local shop and have them made to fit and in a lot of ways its lot better. I know the one I had made it a lot better than most of the factory ones.
---but sometimes they're NOT.
The first summer we had our houseboat (2006) a hard wind literally peeled the canopy off our party top. The Sunbrella was (and still is) almost like new, but all the stitching was sun rotted. We had a reputable local shop re-sew the top together. This was actually quite a feat because, as the shop manager put it, "if we miss by 1/16 of an inch ANY where, then you'll never be able to snap it back on.
An 80 or so year old lady who'd worked there for years did the sewing, and it was perfect.
So, because of the same problem the OP has, in 2011 I took our Party Cruiser to the same place for new front and rear tops, and new screens and vinyl windows for all the sides (the sides themselves still have a few years left in them)..
It was obvious the old lady didn't do THIS job. I was pretty disappointed. They didn't change out most of the zippers, many with teeth missing (which means they come undone on both ends still), on a couple of panels that got new zippers, the panels ended up short(?), and my biggest issue, the new screens and windows. From the inside, the sides have screens first, followed by the clear windows, followed by the canvas shades. Now, to keep any or all them all rolled UP requires the correct velcro straps between each of the panels. But, whoever sewed up the panels just left all the original straps in between the screens and vinyl, so now, none can be used to keep ANY thing up...:facepalm:
To recap, I had the best and worst canvas work done at the same place. So my advice: make a list of everything you need done and HOW, and be sure to relay that to the canvas shop. I just assumed after 30 years in business, AND a perfect restitch of nearly 300 sq.ft. of canvas that they'd do my tops right.
