Canvas Tarps

Val,
I have a piece of canvas that I use as a drop sheet. Unbelievable quality.

It was my Dads and it was from WW2. It is not like the canvas we see today.

RA.

Hi RA,

Yes I know what you mean. For many years we had a piece of green Birkmeyer canvas. I think it was the roof of an old tent that my parents had in the 50s. Very heavy, very tough. Unfortunately rats thought it very tasty and made it more like canvas lace! Havent seen anything like it for years.

Cheers,

Val

G'day everyone

Thanks for the imput.

I should have mentioned that every time I need to get under the car, caravan or trailer its on grass or dirt where green ants or sharp grass etc is there in droves.

I found the tarp reduced insect bites and sharp bits sticking into the back. Getting soft in old age. LOL

Anyway RA and Larry you are both right, cheap prices for O/S canvas.

However, the canvas from the father in law is probably the stuff that RA mentioned. Good HD stuff from the 50's.
