[MR] Canvas

[Victoria Pringle]

Panther uses Sunforger canvas and they sell assorted canvas by the yard.  

As always if you want something from Panther please consider going through a
dealer.  It helps them and gets you a discount!

I believe that is what Panther Pavilion uses for it's tent.  the Sunforger
canvas. I have a friend who bought one from there and it's still going even
after nearly 10 years of usage.
