Huh???? you mean you are trying to say that heat gain temp under cloth is not
heat gain temp under cloth if it is stretched across aluminum or stainless
steel piping?

I know it's folly to try and splain sumtin to jax, but here goes. What
he's trying to say is that the temp of the cloth doesn't matter as much
for a bimini as it does for clothes because clothes are in contact with
your skin and a bimini is a few feet away. Heating the clothes you're
wearing to an uncomfortably high temp in the sun, say 150 degrees, has
much more of an impact to your comfort level as heating a bimini top to
the same temperature. Is that something you can comprehend prima facia
or do you need a primer on transfer of heat via direct contact vs.
radiational transfer?
