I need to replace my bimini and the local canvas shop will not do one that is made of vinyl covered fabric like my old one.  For many reasons, I'd like to stay with this type of fabric.
Has anyone bought a "mail order" bimini?  Were you happy with the fit?  Did you send the old one to use as a pattern?  Any other tips?
Thanks for any feedback.

Ken,

I don't understand why the canvas shop won't do a new bimini out of the material you specify.  I would call up another shop.  I'm sure you can find one that will make it out of whatever material you want.  I had my my dodger rebuilt by a local place.  The boat was laid up so I gave them the old one to use as a pattern (while specifying some added zippers).  It worked out great, so I would think you could mail-order one the same way. :)
