I just ordered from big duck and they have 7oz in the bargain bin. That may be a little light for the outside, mines going over wood, but it might be thrifty for the inside.

I used 7 oz canvas on my foamie. I thought it was adequate. It's certainly good enough over wood.

Are you saying it would be OK for over wood on exterior? If so, I'm ordering.

That's a great price! Just note the 10 yrd minimum.

I'm using the big duck 7 oz on the outside of my tear.
I think it is plenty heavy enough.
It is super nice quality by the way.

Based on my calculations for my current design, I needed 15.75 yards. I ordered 20, so I'll have extra. Might do plain canvas on the ceiling to, so I will have plenty.. Couldn't pass it up at that price. :D

Thanks for the tip!! :applause: :thumbsup:

Its good you ordered extra.
When I washed mine it shrunk quite a lot in one direction. 10' became a little over 8' !

When I did my 4x8 I bought 20 and was scrounging for remnants to finish the inside.
It would have been neater if I bought 25-30. I'm sure I wasted a little bit.
:oops:

Been watching canvas prices for a while. That's the best price I've seen, hoped someone else could get some cheap too if they needed it.
