I responded to a posted request for canvas awnings with: >>I had a fire in my '75 Westy two summers ago, and the pop-top canvas had >>to be replaced. After pricing new (and used) ones, I decided to have >>one made. A shop here in Toronto that makes boat covers made one for me >>for $500 Cdn (about $350 U.S.) with double stitching, extra side >>windows, removable velcro bug screens, etc, etc.. but, of course, I'm talking about the pop-top canvas here (my mistake, I misread the original post). Anyway, for those of you looking for awnings, I'm sure the same shop would make one for a much cheaper price. The shop that made my new pop-top canvas: King Sol Outdoor Stores 639 Queen St. W Toronto, Ont. (416) 504-3333 (416) 504-2222 The person that coordinated the job was named Ira (he may remember, he may not -- this was two years ago). I just pulled out my old canvas (or what was left of it) and handed it over. Then, I just asked for all the custom stuff. Oh ya, and the fabric they used was called Sombrelle, or Ombrelle, or something like that -- many colours available. They did a fantastic job, including running a wire bead around the edge of the fabric for where the aluminum strapping holds it down , etc., etc. If you're in Toronto and want to see what they did, feel free to e-mail me, and we'll arrange a meet...
