Sunforger Canvas Source

[Bob Rowlands]

As far as canvas weight goes, pro wall tent companies use 10-12 oz. double fill canvas, so I'd think it would work perfect on any nomadic yurt. My cloth was 17 oz AFTER the water treatment.

Heavy duty canvas is a bugger to sew with a standard sewing machine designed for clothes. I'm stubborn as hell but I absolutely will NEVER do that again with a dink machine. If you decide to make the cover yourself, rent a commercial grade sewing machine. I used heavy polyester thread and a canvas rated needle.
