DIY POP TOP

[melvin]

Hi All,
I recently bought a fibreglass pop top for my van, it was just the roof and nothing else, a side elevating devon style one.
Now, it didn't cost a lot (99p off ebay) and I don't want to spend a lot on it (because im a skinflint) so I was wondering if anyone on here has made there own canvas for such a roof, as a replacement canvas seems to cost around £230 to £300! If so, was it a job thats harder than it looks and what sort of fabric did you use? I'll probably regret starting such a project and wish I forked out for a new one, but hey ho I'm gonna give it a go!

Probably cheaper to find someone breaking a devon

theres a firm in Nottingham that makes truck tarps etc like scampi and chips on here does, I went to them with the size I wanted and the made me a new one! loads cheaper than else where!

Just looks at your pics of your van, pop top looks really great! Any ideas on what fabric was used or the name of the company that done it for you?
