I am thinking of making or having a tropical roof made for the CT. Lightweight tent/fly (reflective) fabric is my preferred material. Where does one source this type of product?

I'd look at anything which is dynaproof from wax converters, they provide the best canvas in the country from the light to the heavy stuff, I would google 'wax converters' and start there.

Did this myself many years ago on a home build so I knew exactly what to tell the canvas maker for the rig I was building at the time.

 There were some tropic roofs for sale in the vendors section that maybe suitable, or could be modified.
Maybe worth a look.

About 12 months ago I asked a Campertrailer manufacturer for a quote on a tropical roof...$500 +gst and postage...cheapest I got from a canvas retailer, ready made $450.00....I think I will stick to the silver heavy duty tarp...$150.00 and $80.00 for the poles/ropes to match.
