PE - FW: Canvas Pricing (Sunforger and regular)

[david friedman]

I've done business with Itex and like them. They have high quality 
tent canvas (sunforger with all the usual treatments) at a very 
reasonable price. And they are friendly and helpful people.

I suspect the remnants you are referring to are partial rolls of that 
canvas. They also have "remnants" at much more than 30% off--prices 
like a dollar to two dollars a yard for serious canvas.
The remnant prices are for the whole piece, which is likely to be at 
least fifty yards and may be in the hundreds. They are colored. Itex 
generally can't tell you in much detail what treatments (mildew 
resistance, fire resistance, etc.) a remnant roll has had, although 
the person you talk to may be able to give an informed guess. And 
they will send you a sample. They will also send you a list of 
remnants, but it may or may not correspond to what they currently 
have in stock, since it doesn't seem to be revised very often, so you 
may do better by just talking to the person at the other end of the 
phone about what you need and having him see what they have.

The walls of our big tent were made from part of one roll of the low 
cost remnants (black) and our children's tent was expanded with part 
of another (blue). We still have lots of the latter if anyone local 
wants to buy some of it from us.
