Have tried all these before but the last time I asked it was up to 8 weeks waiting time and wanted me to send my old canvas as a template! Hence asked if anyone does 1 ready made!
Thanks for doing the google search thou :)

Which ones have you asked? Happy to email the ones you haven't tried yet :mrgreen:

Hi there - Be interested to hear a bit more about the fabric you've found to make a pop top and what sort of cost ? I've got a Devon too and was thinking it shouldn't be too hard to make a pop top- the challenge for me I think would be fitting it! Julia

Fitting not to bad? Can staple into place on the top 1st then cover with fixing strips! Then you can fix the bottom, I usually fix the corners 1st then you can pull as taught as you need? Screw the rest of the strips down and cut off the excess :)

Thanks for the link and fitting advice. Had a look at the material - sounds the biz and good price but not sure about black!! Hadn't thought of starting from scratch but will check out fabrics a bit further - cheers Julia :D

Hi Si - did you have to send yours as a template? How did you think the quality of fabric compareswith the original? And how did the fitting go?!! Sorry for all the questions :) julia

Hi,

Nope bought off the shelf, blue n white stripe, it was thicker and the seams appeared better than the original.

The fitting took just a morning, best advice is to fit it to the top section first.

I forget the guy in the shops name but he was very helpful.

Cheers

Si

I had a look at Si 's link - interesting and the ease of having it ready made is tempting :) It's more on my want list than a need list and while I can feel myself being lured in doing something about replacing my canvas the sensible bit of me says I've spent enough this year already on the van! :)
