Where to buy nylon tent fabric?

Post by live2quilttwo »

Does anyone know where to buy nylon tent-like fabric? I have a screened shade unit and my cats have shredded the base strip (about 12" wide, tan in color). We have it on our patio over our hot tub.

Any help would be appreciated. I just have a JoAnns and they don't carry it.

I just looked at Hancocks of Paducah and all they have is
FLAG NYLON 60" DARK NAVYItem #: FFN NAVY

Do a google with "Hancocks of Paducah" for the search parameter, then click on their website. Type "nylon" in for search and it will show the flag material all the way at the bottom.

You could make a nice dark blue border. Should go well with the tan.

I've bought from this store several times and was happy with the service and products.

(I've made two sleeping bags, several pairs of gaiters, ponchos, a day pack and two wood carriers, but drew the line when DH asked me about a tent LOL!!!)

I bought some at JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby. It was the nylon material but was for the cover for an ATV for hunting or outdoors. Reasonable in price, but slides all over. Sewed good, but just took some time to make. I had to make the pattern with trial and error. But, it worked. It has lived through about 5 Michigan cold winters. The material was about 52 or some odd width. Good luck in looking.
