This is a link to the "bimini" top that I designed and my wife sewed for 
my 80". It also has a removable back section, with a window in it.  
Works greak and keeps most of the sun and rain off you. The first event 
I took it to, we could have taken orders for a dozen, but the wife said 
she wasn't in the business......  Oh well, still have the 80", seem to 
have lost the wifes somewhere. :-)
