I wouldn't purchase anything from them, but then I had a bad experience. Ordered a sail and it arrived all screwed up. I had to return it for the proper replacement. Dirk, the owner refused to pay the return postage for their screwup. The next sail arrived with the bolt rope on the luff for the furler too small. It wouldn't stay in the track. Decided to have it repaired locally. I did, but don't use the sail. It just doesn't trim right. SS

Thanks for the info. I'm still not sure if I will buy from them. I will be modifying the bimini if I buy one so returning won't be an option. I need a 4' bimini but cannot find one anywhere. I don't want to have one special made as the price goes up substantially. I can modify the frame and fabric myself. I thought about just making the whole thing but it would be about the same price and a lot more work then to start with one that is close.

I bought a drifter and a cruising chute that was a custom spec, and they were just fine. My boat came with Rolly Tasker main and 110 furler and they are both fine. I'd have no issue ordering stuff from them.

Meriachee, you do mean National, not Ameriseam correct?

Check out Marine and RV Direct. They have some 46" kits that might work for you. I'm very happy with the bimini that I purchased from them and describe on my blog at Budget bimini solution.

Yes. me bad, I saw National and somebody referenced Dirk, who is the guy at National Sail Supply. He's in Florida, and this bimini place is on the left coast.
