Flipping heck! I'm stupid excited about the prospect of receiving this. I've convinced myself that when it comes I'm straight out the door to do the Boone Challenge before the years out.

Not having had canvas before (not an owner of one yet😉) how do you look after a canvas tarp??

The main thing is to make sure it is dry and aired before you put it into storage. If it is at all damp, mildew will form.
Store it in its bag, in a dry place where mice etc can't get at it.
Mud and dirt can generally be brushed off when the canvas is dry, Scrub with water if needs be, but don't use detergents as they contain wetting agents which are bad for any proofing the canvas may have had. If you see kids blowing bubbles, keep them away from your canvas; bubbles are floating blobs of detergent.
A little methylated spirit will deal with oil/grease marks.
 
Hi Bilmo.

I received the Tarp today. Can't wait to unpack it and string it up.

Who is the smoker in the house eh?

Thanks
