Any good sources to get after market bimini canvas and snap in carpet built to manufacturer specs.
I had a new snap in carpet made by a local guy and it turned out to be absolute crap.
Boat is a Monterrey.

I'm about to have a snap in carpet made, deciding between Taylor Made, and another place, called Corinthian. They both want to send you some plastic sheets you use to cut out a template. Corintian also has a few hundred boats templates on their web site. They have a couple dozen Monterey's listed.

I just ordered Corinthian 40 oz snap in for my cockpit yesterday. Very spendy but worth it to me.
They had my template on hand as well.
Edit: The reason I chose Corinthian is that my daughter gave me a welcome mat with the boat name on it 5 years ago, it has stood the test of time and still looks good. My locally obtained snap in carpet looked terrible in two years.
Spending extra for Corinthian is worth it for it's longevity.

You might call R&R Textiles in Chatsworth, GA and ask if they can refer you to someone that provides the quality product and work you are looking for. They don't do one offs anymore but they may be able to refer you.

We shopped around and Corinthian seemed the best deal.We are very happy so far (1 year)with the product and we got one of their closeouts and saved over 50%!

I also just noticed that on Corintian's web site, they list dealers nationwide who carry their carpet. I found one pretty close to home - not sure if they charge a lot more, I can't imagine they do for snap in carpets. Saves me the trouble of having to cut a template and ship it to them.

Corinthian doesn't have my color. Anyone have experience with snapincarpet.com.
How about biminis? Any sources?

The last time I bought carpet for my 22ft century (2010)I looked around my area and found that I can get the same material at Home Depot cheaper than I pay for the same at wholesale price (also no shipping,etc)

Go to Michael's carpet in Calhoun GA. By the best outdoor carpet for 5.99 a yard. Make a pattern, cut it out and find someone to bind it for $1 a lineal ft. Done.

Did you check with Monterey? My friend just bought his carpet for his Cruisers straight from the factory, but with the new fabrics that he wanted. Meanwhile, I fell in love with the new non-organic "sisal" on the new Tiara Coronet, and ordered my upper cockpit carpet to be made with it, directly from Tiara. Just a thought!

I used Snapin Carpet. Great workmanship. The carpet meets or exceed my original. I replaced the bridge and aft landing on my Carver 360.
