3 bow, 4 bow?
What's the
difference? The
Bows are the number
of bars that run
through the Bimini
top to secure it to the
frame. The one
pictured here is a 3
Bow. One bar on
each end and one in
the middle. Ussally a
3 bow is 6 ft. long
and a 4 bow is 8 ft.
long
Height: the height measurement is usually
measured when purchasing a frame!  You need to
decide what height is appropriate for you. When
considering a height you need to remember that
the height of the frame should be added to the
height of the rails of the boat where it is going to
be measured/mounted.
Example: If you order a frame with a height of 36
inches, it will be mounted to a side rail that is 30
inches tall, then you will have a head clearance of
66 inches.
( 30 inch tall side rail + 36 inch frame 66" =  Head
Clearance)

Width: To measure width, measure from side to side. You need to measure the width of the rails
where the Bimini frame connects to the boat/pontoon."Mounting point to mounting point"
Sometimes you can't measure straight across the boat because of obstacles in the way, such as
seats or the driver's console. In this case just measure the distance between the Bimini frame itself.
You can measure from the top of the frame close to where Bimini Cover rests. Drop down a couple
of inches, to the area of the Bimini frame that has straightened out, down the side (beyond the
rounded edge of the frame where it turns down to attach to the boat/pontoon.)
Please note:
If you only need a "Fabric only" for your existing frame
We need the frame measurements mentioned above.
Not the actual measurement of the fabric for the width.

Length: When you measure the length, make sure your Bimini top is stretched taut. Then Measure
from front to back. If your old Bimini top is off the frame, just stretch it out on the ground and
measure from edge to edge, front to back, for length. ONLY MEASURE the outer edge of the
pockets or "sleeves" that your two end bows go through. Some Bimini top fabrics have a couple
of inches of "flap" that overhang the ends. This can add anywhere from 6-12 inches to the length if
you include it in your measurement. Only measure from pocket to pocket, end to end.
