Where can an off-the-shelf 8-foot-long Bimini Top be purchased?

An eight-foot-long Bimini Top is available from many off-the-shelf sources. If you enter the search term "8-foot-long Bimini top" into a search engine like GOOGLE, you can find many vendors offering the required 8-foot-long Bimini top. Rather than repeat those search results here, you can just duplicate that search yourself.

In buying an off-the-shelf Bimini Top, the width of the top is very important, and this dimension must be selected to fit the particular boat on which you might be planning to install the top.

I've bought a couple of bimini tops (including poles/hardware/etc) from Amazon and been pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price.

In addition to the width being within range, make sure you get the correct number of bows. You can also get support poles separately if the one you're looking at has straps on the ends.

Carver branded bimini's come in 8' lengths. Just add your height and width.

Offered by resellers. Here is one that many owners use:
