Workshop Trailer Canopies

[Garry]

So the Canvas canopy will only cover the tub and wont fold out to make the large tent roof section if I read this thread correctly?

Excuse my ignorance but are the vehicle and trailer canopy's the same?

Hi,

No it will be a correct canopy for the workshop but not the tentage walls

Yes the trailer and the Land Rover tray's are identical.

Hi guys.
I have just joined REMLR as a result of inquiries for "Workshop Trailer Canopies" by a forum member.
I am Rudolf, owner of the Australian Canvas Company.
Since 1968 ( yes    I'm getting old) I have been involved in manufacturing canvas goods for the Aust. Military
(Army, Navy & RAAF) and can still make most of their products to the Aust Military specs, and to more economical versions.
Workshop trailer canopy discussions with your member led to considering a small batch of such canopies.
However, coordinating a small batch order from other members looks to be quite difficult for my customer,
and possibly financially risky as well.
So......may I offer to collate such an order.
All I need is an emailed expression of interest, within say the next 4 weeks, from anyone interested.
Then I'll work out a competitive (best) price according to the qty required,
following which each individual would, like normal, pay a deposit to order their canopy.
Once all the deposits are in hand, manufacture would be instigated.
It should be noted that the 270gsm corespun spec fabric is no longer commercially made,
but I can have it made to order in a minimum qty, without the FR treatment.
However that qty is more than 10 of the Workshop Trailer Canopies requires.
That era military Land Rover also had their canopies made from the same fabric,
so that would leave fabric to make such LR canopies as well (I made many or them for the Army during the 70s).
Anyone interested in them as well?
If qty is insufficient for a batch of spec cloth manufacture,
I do have excellent quality, similar looking, olive green fabric currently
commercially available, which will save lots of $$$$.
Regards
Rudolf

Rudolf,I would definately be interested in 2,and price dependent,1 or 2 more(Im a wksp rover lover,not a business LOL).I am pressuming that Scott is the one making enquiries on our behalf and if so thank you for following through with the answer to a need that many of us have.I hope that there is enough interest to make this project viable and economical for all...........................Otherwise Im back on the sewing machine....Cheers Hallsy.

Hi All,

Yes it's kinda me in a round about way, I sold a trailer to a guy and he's been communicating with me and the Canvas fabricator below.

Unfortunately I am too busy at work to concentrate on much REMLR wise and work is too focused on large projects to even look at small production runs of one offs such as Workshop canopies.

More than happy for Rudolf to go for it

cheers
Scott

I have been talking to Rudolph about this as well.

Off topic a bit, but I am after a 109 GS canopy.

I am definitely no expert, but I would like it to be as close to original as possible.

If there is enough interest, he is happy to make one up, the critical bit is getting enough orders to make the manufacture of a batch of the original type of canvas cost effective.
If enough people are interested in this, then he should be able to get a batch of this canvas made, and then produce whatever we all need.

I have told him that I definitely want a 109 GS canopy, I guess the question is, how many other people are after a canopy (vehicle or trailer)?

I guess the other question is, how important is it to use the original type of canvas? Is the new stuff noticeably different,  or maybe it could be longer lasting?

What do you think Scott?


Cheers,

Mike.

Seems like a bit of a convention contacting Rudolph.

I too contacted him about a tarp for the cargo Internationals, unfortunately he doesn't have a pattern and its a little too far to drive my Mk3.
