this seems a good price compared to one like @zedders got?

 

As it's quite a bit smaller and more simple, it's gonna be cheaper isn't it?

 

yes but i wondered if mr wombat would be interested in the cheaper option

 

This kept the rain off the bbq at Volksworld before the disco. ....

Good find sir but wouldn't work for me I'm afraid as nowhere to mount it.
I'm sure I've seen someone's bus in the flesh with a roll up casnopy attached to the roof casnvas (side elevating roof) so roof up, the canopy unrolls (then stick a tent pole in the 2 corners to brasce it, as it would just be the material, it would roll up tight so the roof would still go down with it rolled up inside. If you follow!

And its permanently fixed to van (roof casnvas)

 

that would be me possibly

 

On both counts.

 

Why would you want to change that roof, it looks superb?

 

Ah yes it must of been you @Dicky !

Is it the full length of your roof canvas?

Made it yourself ?

 

Mostly full length but not quite.

It was a second hand khyam one and its attached by using an awning screwed through the ccanvas, upwards into the box section that slides out. from memory yours is similar. There are some tagsvthat hand down soni just roll it up with the poles in it. You could do exactly the same but attach it permanently using a metal strip.

Will try to get some pucs of it rolled up.

 

Where do you store the post & rail fencing?

 

Have a look next time. You may find it.

 

@sANDYbAY where did you get your gutter strip?....... have seen it on NLAVW at £14.00/metre

though is a bit pricey for a plastic molding IMHO, maybe I'm just tight ............ I do have some welsh blood!

 

My mate a canopy with this stuff. Very light packs up small http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281245324559&alt=web

 

I took mine off of an old awning and sewed it onto my home made one. Your link looks like the correct cross section. Someone posted another place to get it from a few weeks ago but I'm blowed if I can remember who.

 

@Fat_Brum the lovely lady at http://www.puddle-jump.co.uk just did some of this for me (with a luff strip sewn into it), for a much much better price than the one you link to.
