It's a great idea, but in practicality there are some issues.
1 cant store anything on a canvas Bimini. Which is what I have.
2 Hinged panels would work
3 if designed properly the hinge could be un pinned.

All solvable issues if I take my time.

Only issue I have is cant be taken down fast enough to address a sudden squal
