Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Do you come out to measure?

    Yes we do. Depending where you are situated there may be a small callout fee to cover fuel and gate fees where applicable. However we recommend sending us pics and images for quoting purposes. We always confirm measurements prior to manufacture.

  • What types of Canvas do you use?

    Riptec/Ripstop/Ripblock is a popular fabric throughout the textile marketplace. For those who may not be familiar with it, it is a type of woven fabric, often made of nylon, which uses a special reinforcing technique to make it tear and ripping resistant. Hence, the name “ripstop”. Get it?! 


    During weaving, some reinforcement threads are woven in a crosshatch pattern to give the fabric the appearance it has.


    Ripstop is a collaboration of knowledge of material inputs, manufacturing processes and technical skills, allow Ripstop to be a innovative product that is development for customer specific customisation.


    Ripstop  is typically used in making products that are used outdoors: sailing, tents, sleeping bags, flags, banners, just to name a few. Ripstop fabric material can be used as a reinforcing fabric for products or clothes made to be worn for extreme durability or in extreme conditions, such as clothing for firefighters. 


    The material is also ideal for backpacks, sports clothing, and different kinds of luggage. Ripstop material is water resistant, water-proof, fire resistant, and is impenetrable (will not allow air or water through). Ripstop is a versatile material it comes in a wide range of weights and colours.


    Fabric weight is normally expressed in grams per m2 and are typically:

    300-320 gsm

    400-440 gsm

    500-550 gsm

  • How long does Canvas last?

    Modern canvas should last between 3 to 5 years depending on its location. However if under shadenet we have seen many canvas structures that are 12 years + and still looking good

  • Is Canvas waterproof?

    Yes our canvas is waterproof, however if stitched it may leak through on the seams

  • How do I care for my Canvas?

    Where possible its important to keep ripstop out of direct sunlight. To clean use a light solution of soapy water. Do not use chemicals as this can degrade the surface as well as bleach the color

  • How long will it take to get done?

    It all depends on the size of the job and how busy our workshop is. We normally take between 7 & 14 days to complete most custom jobs. *T&C's apply. Always check with us first
