Here's my Lazyjacks converted into a bimini.

First I needed some poles to support it. I made them out of 3/4 inch PVC and secured them with hose clamps to my rear stanchions.

Next I inserted some bronze snap hooks into the top of the PVC pipe.

And then hooked them to the 1/4 inch bridle line. Also I wrapped some riggers tape around it to help secure it in the area of the poles.

I secured the front by attaching a 1/4 inch line to the other bridle and securing it to the mast. As you can see it is just above the pop-top and below the boom. You can also see the space between the bimini and the bridle that is clear for the main sheet.

Looking up through the screen you can see the mast. The dark part in the middle of the picture is the shadow of the boom and main sail cover.
