Western Canvas
has improved the hem
to ensure the longevity
of the canvas
closest to the
ground by placing
webbing
reinforced spurred
grommets with
replaceable
ropes in
the hem to stake the
cover down.
This added feature greatly diminished the amount of moisture that can saturate the base of the cover causing the canvas to mildew and rot. When the ropes rot you simply replace the ropes unlike the more common webbing loops sewn directly into the hem.
For strength, all panel are sewn with a double lock-stitch (as opposed to looped or zigzag stitches) and shingle style lap seam to aid in water run-off. All seams are sewn with a Filco
thread, which is a
cotton shell wrapped
around a polyester
core for strength.
The outer cotton
shell will swell
when wet and fill
the needle hole to
provide maximum
protection from
leakage.
Our lacing
pin holes in Teepees are also
reinforced
with a
triple layer of
canvas.
We hand sew our button holes with waxed thread for added strength. All stress areas are triple reinforced and all ties are heavy weight cotton webbing.
