Let's see. I'm 6' 4", the top gives about 6' 2" as-is, with the dimensions I ordered from Overton's. Westland says you can cut 6" off the main pole, which would lower the whole thing about 4.5" (since the main pole is at an angle). That would put the top at what, 5' 9 1/2"? Perfect!
What a cool way to 'dork-out' a Checkmate huh?![]()
JW the top looks great the red has a hot look to itwhat is the dimensions on your width ?
Jw I got my Bimini top yesterday. Do I cut the main post down by 6" to make it shorter?
If you ordered the exact same dimensions that I did, you can whack off the 6" they recommend and see how it fits. I think even more of the main pole can be cut off, dont know why they recommend 6". The bottom plastic pieces will have to be drilled off the stubs and re-attached with something.
Take pictures of your installation and post them on this thread!!
