sailcloth

Post by blurb55 »

bought one from GoWesty in the US.
They use sailcloth cos its strong, waterproof and does not go mouldy so that may be an option, should be able to find some on Google.

WARNING: POST HIJACK

Is the GoWesty one really worth the extra money on top of the Just Kampers one after all you've been stung for the import duty??

BACK ON TOPIC NOW.... :oops:

Canvas

Post by blurb55 »

The difference is in the material.
GoWesty offer a sailcloth option which is synthetic and does not mildew, pretty important to me as Jane is asthmatic and the spores from mould would make her breathing difficult - kinda spoils a weekend away if you end up in casuality.

FYI the Hockey Stick is an accepted measure of length in North Derbyshire, but used only to resolve optical illusions.

:D :D :D
