Also, does anyone know the speed limits of a top in both the fully open and closed but propped up positions? The material is the same as my cockpit cover. It's like Sunbrella.
I remember once seeing a sign at the old Sonic plant in Hollywood that you should keep under 50MPH with the Bimini up. I assume that was without an arch. I have an arch, and I run it all the way up to the rev limiters which is 72MPH.
I would assume it is all according to your tie downs. The Sunbrella is really tough.

You are asking your bimini to stand up to a hurricane force wind! My solution was to buy a Taylor pontoon boat gazebo. I made some fittings to clamp it to the rails rather than drill holes, You can't use it under way but it works great at anchor
