Thanks for that Val.  I believe the canvas is about 20 years old and has been reproofed at least once - I'll check the exact dates but probably won't need to re do it for another 3 years and I am likely to have moved onto a different unit by then (as this is my 2nd unit since Xmas!! )

Well, at 20 years old it's doing well if it's only needed proofed once. The proof (!) of the pudding is in the eating, though, so see what it looks like when it goes up and when it rains. If the canvas looks thin and worn and is getting saturated in patches then it would be worth reproofing again sooner than three years, I think.

Big job though and expensive, so mot to be undertaken lightly. It does my head in when I read of folk reproofing two or three year old canvas!

I bought 3 for 2 Thompsons in Northamptonshire yesterday. I had to get them to check it twice as the first time they said there wasn't an offer but then they checked again and sure enough, 3 for 2. Happy man.

Glad to hear you got the deal,these days you have to stand your ground.

Oh and i used one of our tins today profing cab part of trailer tent,it was easier than i thought using garden sprayer (£8.99p at Aldi at mo.)  hopeing to get the awning washed & proofed next week with the other two tins.

well i got the trailer and awning reproofed,had a good but very busy weekend
