Pop top fabric ?

What is the fabric called that they make the pop tops out of , I may need a new one as was looking at the ones on proud to pop and as nice as they are there pricey , so was looking at what fabric it is so I can ask a couple of my friends with industrial sowing machines
Only a thought at the moment

 

proud to pop take a look at this thread it may help

 

Carn't see much about the fabric but thanks

 

So only seen one page I'm looking more now

 

if you need a sample they will send you one but i am happy with that roof

 

Found something that might help cheers

 

Yeah I may ask for one but think I'm going to try a sail builder or boat builder I'm not after nothing to special really just a nice clean fabric

 

i used acrylic boat cover material

 

Cheers mini b I'll look into that , how much did it cost

 

£100 made but i had to fit it my self

 

Still cheaper than most places to have one made cheers mate , still looking at other ideas sorry thinking rag top but not sure

 

eBay item number 251235351382
That will do it

 

Used this for devon poptop as well! If it for a straight sided poptop it will be easy to make! If it a side elevating its a bit trickier!

 

..priced a few places.. but ended up at Chesterfield Canvas Services. they make allsorts, boats, trucks,flags, they couldnt have been ore helpfull, they measured it up, made it within 2 weeks, we fitted ourselves, £80 + vat. plus rivits and screw and batton. its the same material they use for tent/mazda bongo roofs. very pleased.

 

I replaced the fabric for my poptop myself - a company called Jeckells can supply marine fabric and can make it up to your measurements - they supplied mine sewn into a square for about £130 - top job, mm perfect. I choe blue/white wide stripes but you could choose what pattern you want.

Took two of us a full day to fit as there was no fabric fitted at when when I got my bus - not bad as i was quoted £1000 to supply & fit.

Mine was a Canterbury Pitt full pop-up top and the only rigidity is supplied by the fabric, so a bit worrying when you take the roof cap off andf it is pi$$ing about in the wind until you get the fabric taught.

I do not know how to get photos up on here but I can e-mail them to you or to anyone who could get them on here if that's any help.

 

Cheers people great help I'll look in to all of This

 

Nice one gas that stuff could work well , and local to me

 

I'm ok for pics for now mate just need to find a supplier then I'll ask for samples but just checking as I may go rag top

 

i added a westy type zip in section to my Devon roof



it's nice for a bit of fresh air and not something you could have bought off the shelf

 

great idea. i still have the original white/clear vinyl combo but think it'll be too cold at night for little uns and too bright in the mornings. need to get my bunks out back first though :/
