Any places in So cal like Orange Co or the 909?
Bimini is way too high and needs to be cut down lower.
Any help is appreciated

Might help with pictures or what boat specifically.

Typically you can disassemble the poles and cut them equally shorter and reassemble them back into the end pieces (typically a set screw Allen holds the end pieces on).

King Kid Custom Covers in Santa Clarita. Iv’e had several tow covers made and had a new larger bimini top made last year which actually made it lower. He does complete assemblies too.

My Bimini is at all American canvas and he told me he couldn’t lower it/cut it cause it’ll ruin the integrity. I don’t see why not but I’m not a pro

I did mine recently with a pipe cutter, it works but since the poles are at a different angle now the fabric isn’t as tight around the end where the straps attach. I figured this would happen but was worth it to me.

You should be able to adjust the height on the inner bars, cutting them down is easy. Hard part is readjusting each bar set as well cutting from the others as well. Time consuming but way cheaper than paying a shop to do the same thing.

I couldn't cut them on my 210 as well because it would ruin the integrity and the fabric would not fit the same.
