Wanted: source for brown tarps needed

[Jim Burrill]

Thanks for the leads guys! I went with Chicago Canvas in the end as they had tarp canvas by the yard for US$ 6.00 for 5 foot width.

If I bought a finished tarp, I would have been cutting off the edges and grommets anyway, so went with just the fabric.

We will see how it all adds up to make up the Dingo roof.

Thanks again!!

I don't know what your intended use for those wretched tarps are, but from experience if it involves being outside and cycled from dry to wet and back and a bit of ultra violet light mixed in the lifespan is, well, short.

Trust me, they are sold through a surplus store for a reason.

You look in the oddest places to find something that matches kit that hasn't been made in 70 years! <g>

But the Chicago Canvas site sells Brown 16 oz cotton canvas that should match the original Dingo top I am building for a friend.

I will need to waterproof it after sewing of course, but should pass muster....
