That's one thing I wish I did have was an old one to at least make a
pattern of. I've seen pics of the 18' scorption with it's factory
bimini and it really looked sweet.

We have several canvas shops here and I have watched the process. They
use visqueen for the pattern. That way they can see what they are
doing when they fit it to the frame. They pin it up and make the marks
with a sharpie pen. This gets transferred to the canvas and then they
sew it up. The top I have actually zips onto the frame so it is quick
to take off and store. I keep it in a dock box when I am not using it.

Good idea to store it that way. Even with the quality material, i'm
sure the sun and humidity can reek havoc on it it if you left it up in
the sun most of the time.
