So I think I’ve found photos of what my canvas deck skirting should look like … But how do you keep the lower corners shaped / sticking out following the corner?? (Last pic is what I’ve got currently)

They have rods sewn into the bottoms to hold them in that shape.
Bottom and top looks like to me
I pushed different lengths of stainless tig welding rod into the hem edge, to stiffen the unsupported sections
The name is technically weatherboards. They have rods sewn in them that hold the shape. Any good canvas maker can make these, but not really a DIY task – all the DIY ones look DIY.
There is a molding in the hem that is screwed to each stanchion.
stainless rub rail you will not be pleased with the job I have never seen one done that looks good
Take it all off
My weather curtains as I assume they are called had square rods at the bottom. Help to keep the square shape I guess
Marinettes have 1/8 X 1” flat bar along top & bottom of skirt sewn in
Inserts sewn into the canvas
I had a friend in Michigan in the mid to late ’80’s that had a 45′ Chris like the 1st picture named “Great Bear.” Do you know if that boat ever moored on the Clinton River in Michigan 30-35 years ago?? Rochester as in Michigan possibly?
Use Hatteras board.
I heard two things in the replays on this post that mechanically make perfect sense. 1. Stainless rod sewn in to the edge. 2 Hatteras board sewn in.
My Roamer has a shaped strip of stainless that attaches to opposing rails and puts tension in the 90 degrees
My futura has same stainless rub rail (flat not hollow back) that’s on the boat seen in
My 1963 Connie had aluminum flat bar bent to shape top and bottom in the hem. Flat bar was screwed(threaded) into the stanchions. I think it was 10-32 threads. Mine came from the factory that way.
