[AT] Combine Canvases Needed

[joehardy at epix.net]

Al, A number of years ago, I took a worn grain binder canvas to a awning co & they made me a new replacement and it worked great! they even sewed on new straps. My dad & I installed the wooden cross pieces using hollow rivets. Take your old one to them and save yourself a thousand words!  Joe Hardisky; Ryman Farm, Dallas, PA
