My Clarke canvas garage has completely fallen apart in the recent winds. I think I've pretty much come to terms with getting rid of the car it houses so don't particularly want to spend £300 on a new one, but I still need some time to break the car and work out storage for other bits so could do with it being watertight over winter. Can anyone recommend where to buy a heavy duty canvas I can buy to make a temporary roof? Or more recommended solutions?  |

I would try transport companies
Often curtainsides are replaced due to slashing.
But they can be repaired.
If thats not good enough, contact Clarke.

Knowledge is to know a Tomato is a 'fruit' - Wisdom, on the other hand, is knowing not to put it in a 'fruit salad'!

Clarke was the first place I tried but as they have since changed the model (from grey to green as far as I can tell) they won't supply me with a new canvas, only a new garage with a bit of a discount. Thanks ovimor, looks like it could be just what I need. |

I have a curtain side stashed for personal use that was given to me, including repairs with good patches.
So they exist.
The eyelets can be bought cheaply, online in various sizes

If temporary, why not a cheapie plastic tarp? Will be cheaper than canvas but might degrade with UV light over a few summers. I base that thought on the blue Ikea tarp bags I used as barbecue covers degrading www.tarpaulinsdirect.co.uk/budget-tarpaulin |
