Waterproof Swag Canvas

Hi Grass Parrot,A few years ago I bought a 12,ounce dome swag for my son,at home he loved it, however when we travelled he found it to be shallow inside. when we measured and compared to the Burke and Wills square top style, the dome swag was 6 inches shorter with much less space inside, however to answer your question.We have camped out in bad weather a few times now and have not had a single leak,always warm and dry. hope this helps.

You will have to weather it. You can hose it as much as you like but nothing works as well as good ol natural rain. Put it up in the rain and leave it for a few days. It will most probably leak but once it drys give it a spray with some water proofing agent and you will be right.
By weathering canvass, the water swells the fibres and then when it drys it shrinks and pulls in nice a tight. So I have been informed.
Putting canvas in the rain and then letting it dry has worked for me for years.
The kids will love them. I put my little boy in his own swag at 4 years old and he loves it.

Our young un [ 9yr old ] loves his Oztrail Mitchell swag , used for 150 nights out of the 175 nights of our last trip , no leaks , lots of room and being a full size means as he grows there is no need to upgrade to a larger size.
