With the frame strapped securely in place and the first 2 panels for the canopy top fixed with double-sided tape we can see the structure starting to take shape.
The pattern is complete and ready to be taken back to the workshop where each panel will be worked and finalised. These finished patterns are then used to mark out the actual canopy fabric ready for cutting and sewing.
The fabric of choice for this job is Weathermax Tweed Green, a high performance lightweight marine fabric with superb strength and breathability.
