I have price and choice of colours
And?

You can't just leave it like that.

How much, and what colours?

I'd like to know. It'd be really helpful.

OK here you go BUT please treat the price with caution, I will explain why further in. The cost I was quoted is £160 and I could choose from fabric colours on his website, we have a possible choice of 3 which would suit us.

The reason I say to be cautious about the price is, Matt says he has done Troll canvas before, BUT I'm not sure? (This is possibly me being cautious) that price seems very good to me and that is the reason I did'nt put it on here straightaway. He also said turnaround would be about 2 weeks and that he would need our old one as a copy (he has dimensions from pre ious Trolls, but explained it's better to have the original).

I hope that helps and we are having ours done but not for about 6 to 8 weeks as we are away during this time

Thanks Graham.

Not that I've really got anything much to base it on, but I agree with you - £160 does seem quite cheap.

£160 wouldn't buy you very much of any half-decent tradesman's time these days, never mind the cost of the materials.

Exactly, I was expecting to start at around £300 ish with more for extras on a replacement ie maybe a contrasting frill from the upper attachment or maybe even 2 sets of sleeves for the elastic, just thoughts really. As I say we are having ours done, I would do it now but we only reinstalled it yesterday I will happily put photos on here when we do it though

hi
once asked an eriba dealer and raised eyebrows, with canvas removed for a pattern it was over £600 that was a few years ago..

am going to ask why do you need 2 canvasses or is it part of winter / summer settings is insulting (insulation) pockets being made? draw back curtains or a clear wind to allow sun shine in

do you have any old wall paper without the glue, you could draft (tech term ) lay canvas on draw round giving a good 1inch to 2 inches of relief( tech term room for adjustment)draw over sized so can seam or make piping for where connects.
then source some strong thread and sew on a sewing machine,
edit forgot to mention make extra patterns for triangles and little flaps over zips
then lay all on fabric bedsheet to make a toile to ensure all correct before cutting out on to the sunbrella canvas
it be like making a rather large mini skirt with triangles

any excess could be made into a strong mans eriba bag..
think id better

Zitat

We don't need 2 canvases but ours is 10 years old and for the price a new one is very reasonable, so we would keep ours or even sell it on who knows but we would have the new one in a different colour purely for cometic reasons

As for the mini skirt I like the idea and my wife Jen has a sewing machine but I'm not sure about the expertise
