Help with Roll Cage top

I recently built a 6 point family cage for my 48 CJ2, does anyone know where to get a Top for this? is there anywhere that makes a Bikini type top that is generic I can modify?
here is a pic of the cage
Thanks in advance to any leads, I am in San Diego Ca.

where do you get custom ones built?

 

sweet, thanks a a lot for the help!

 

Check with a Awning and Tent maker, they seem to be in every town and have the sewing machines to work heavy material, have heavy material on hand so it is not a custom order, have the experience to do it correct the first time

If you want to try something different. I put it on my patio cover. It works well.

Nice cage.

 

Thanks for that info, that may be something to look at, my Friend built the cage for me, turned out pretty good, I just painted it over the weekend, I was hoping to find an already made universal type top for it that wasn't too expensive but I am having a hard time finding something

 

I had a bikini top that covered just the front seats. When I added a family cage I took it to a local auto upholstery shop and they added enough to cover the back and re-attached the straps.
Works well!

 

pop rivit a sheet of aluminum on it. Not only does it keep the sun off, if you roll it keeps other "stuff" from joining you inside the cage.

 

Now thats a great idea, I may look into that!

 

.....and you can cook on it on hot summer days.

You could start with a summer top for an MB. I plan on fitting my cage to hold the summer top up on my A1 so that I won't even need the bows any longer. Contemplating cutting the back off above the window to make it even more like a bikini, but we'll see...

 

where do you get the summer tops?

 

Beachwood Canvas, New Life Canvas, Weebee Webbing. There are some others, but those are all good. Most vendors offer them in vinyl as well which is probably a little more user friendly. But other than the smell, I like the canvas.

Here is a pic of my A1 with the summer top.
