where to buy canvas

[bluecarpenter]

I'm in the process of building a popup camper for the back of my pickup.  I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where the best place is to buy  the canvas.  is is a custom design.  the insulated kind would be nice.  If I have the canvas I can make my own pattern and install windows.
If I can't find any I may have to make the A frame kind.  thanks mark

It sounds like an interesting project.
I would suggest contacting a marine supply place in your area. We have several around this area that will make custom boat covers, etc. and you could probably purchase the material by the yard. They may even help you with your customized project. Good luck,

P.S. Just another quick thought.....try contacting any big Party supply/Rental companies in your area. Sometimes they have party/wedding tents that have been wind damaged or torn in one area that they toss. They might make you a really good deal on the canvas.
Just my $.02 worth.

Try contacting http://www.bearcreekcanvas.com/ and see if they can help you. If they don't already have what you need, then you can send them you're old canvas and they can make new stuff using the old ones as the patern. They have all kinds of PU canvas in stock, but not too sure of the truck canvas.
