went looking at swags today and wanted to buy today...but alas, couldnt find one that had all the features that I thought i would like...
so back to basic but keeping in mind that I dont like getting wet, need a good mattress and must be at least 900mm wide and be supported some how to keep the weight of canvas off the body. I would believe that a minimum 60 mmm mattress of high density ( yes I know there is high and high)...but this can always be added to or replaced so is little importance but would be an added bonus if standard.
Would also prefer a full insect screen rather than half and side lift up entry
any makes recommended would be welcome...preferably those readily available Aust and able to ship to SA

I've got a down under swag.
excellent build, full size window at head that you can open and close from inside, fully screened, two poles. ripstop canvas, on bottom and sides
Only down side is the top entry, bloody hard to get in and out of in the rain.
and it has seen some serious rain too, and never a drop inside the swag.
I'd recommend these to anyone (but haven't seen one around for ages.

Hi nudie hope you enjoyed your stay at
Berri .
Did the swmbo and the tin lids make it
home safe?
We have just had a new double swag made to our requirments by Peter at, Shrives Canvas at
Manoora ( Ph 8848 4111) and did a good job of it, been in the industry a long time.
Pity we didnt get onto the subject at
Berri you could of had a look.
Take a run up there and speak with him and have something made to your order.
