Step 1:
You will need 1” wide black webbing straps with stainless steel adjusting buckles. You need (4) webbing straps that reach from just under the curve of your framework down to your boat. These straps should be placed at an angle to keep the framework sturdy.
(add to this image a arrows that point to each strap)

When measuring for your webbing straps you will need to add an additional 4” to double back on itself creating a loop to go around the framework at the top.
(need an image of webbing loop at the top)
You will also need to add an additional 4” to double back on itself and insert into a stainless steel adjusting buckle. In this case it is better for the straps to be too long than too short. If too long the adjusting buckle will allow you to shorten the strap measurement.
( need an image of webbing going through the adjustable buckle)
Before doubling back the bottom 4” webbing straps insert the webbing through the buckle of a heavy duty chrome plated snap that will secure your bimini top to your boat. See image below for a visual detail.

Once the webbing is the measurement you desire, secure the webbing to your framework tubing with grommets (need image of this webbing secured to tubing) on four areas.
Your framework is now finished. Click to choose your fabric.
