Canvas for my \'75 Westy

Post by garyhaupt »

I have need for either a whole new canvas top or a good seamstress. Was out at Harrison Lake a couple of weeks ago and the high wind caused damage. That and the screen needs to replaced anyway. Any thoughts?

duct tape works great

Really though, I'd buy some material from the local fabric store and go at it. I usually have friends who know how to sew do my repairs. I've always wanted to create an entire screen mesh top, that way the wind would come through and it wouldn't get so stuffy on hot nights.

The Bus Boys, The Bus Depot or Go Westy can all help you. So can any good boat upholstery shop. Good luck. Bob Ingman

Hey Garry, fellow Vancouver type.

$262.00 USD for the Canvas, but I'd go with the Acrylic (Sunbrella), to avoid the UV damage, although the $369.00 USD is quite the hit to the wallet.
