I need to modify the height and width of a bimini frame to fit it to my
boat.

What is recommended to joining the cut 1" frame tubing for sturdiness
and so that it will be smoothe for fitting the top afterwards ?

Thank you,
Courtney

Prepare one optionally two insert tubes with OD a sliding fit on the
bimini tube id. The wall thickness should be 1.0 to 1.5 times the
bimini tube wall thickness. The length should be six times the OD or
more. The ends should be cut on the diagonal.
Cut the bimini at a straight section, drill through the tube and
doubler, and fix with monel pop rivets
