Title: camo material
Post by: elmo on December 27, 2010, 06:22:25 pm
Does anyone know where I can get outdoor heavy duty camouflage canvas. My books just have the thinner heavy duty canvas. I am using it for a blind to hide 4-wheelers behind it.

Try Rochford Supply.

They have a large inventory of cordura camo fabric in several different camo patterns.

Actually, they have a closeout sale right now on camo fabric.

What you want is something like 1000D Cordura. It's rot resistant and lighter but much stronger and more durable than canvas.

I usually get my Cordura (aside from MultiCam) from Rockywoods (http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/All-Cordura-Nylon-Fabrics) but that Rochford Supply place seems to have better prices. I'll give them a shot the next time I need some more. Thanks for posting it, Chris.

I buy some of my Cordura from Rochfords too.  Where do you get the MultiCam from?  Is there a better deal or is it hard to find?

I get it straight from the source. You have to buy at least 5 yards but it's the cheapest I've seen: http://www.duroindustries.com/index.php?page=1000-Denier-Cordura (http://www.duroindustries.com/index.php?page=1000-Denier-Cordura)

You could try out this Nuvtex Camo Vinyl.  I don't know if it would work for your needs, but it's certainly high quality enough. http://www.nuvtex.com/camouflage-nuvtex-vinyl.html (http://www.nuvtex.com/camouflage-nuvtex-vinyl.html)
