Canvas Windows

Post by The Dog House »

I'm going to replace my canvas this year. What is the best material to use for the windows? I'm familiar with Eisenglass, but I'm wondering if there is better material available. Thanks for the info.

I like this stuff. It seems to stay pliable longer as the temps get cold. It has a type of coating that is scratch resistant (which also makes it easier to sew).

They sell a matching conditioner that helps with long term maintenance.
