spear house canvas

[rkpolaris]

Where can I get some new canvas for my spear house? I called the local canvas shop and they wanted $140 for a 6x14 sheet.

Is there a cheaper option?

[glenn57]

maybe, but you get what you pay for. it sounds about right.

If thats the case, I guess Ill get a used spear house online for $150...$10 more than just the canvas alone

I dont mean to sound cheap but this is 30 year old spear house that my dad gave me, the wood is still in good shape, it just needs new canvas. I just cant see sticking 140 buck into it. just wondering what other people have done, like canvas tarps or other ideas? Thanks

70 dollars for canvas tarp from menards is your cheapest bet. What size shack do you have, to be honest I rather spear out of family tradition than used things that dont mean much....

Ive built three perms and two protables and have less the $200 in all of them Got do the home work and a bit of dumpster diving and you can build them very cheap I mean next to nothing.

There is a place off of 55 or but I can remember the name of the place that sells canvas also like a surplus type store when I head out for work tuesday I will call my friend that goes by there regularly and ask him the name and the directions for ya

I used to line the inside of my delapidated canvas house with the black tarp used to cover plywood on rail cars. (Dark side in) this works great and doesn't cost a dime. Just ask for it at MENARDS. It doesn't breath like canvas so be carefull.

I have used moving blankets.

They have the added benefit of insulation but they are heavy.
