DIY POP TOP
Posted: 30 Sep 2010, 17:46
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!
