      Really pleased with the bespoke gazebo covers from Cunningham Covers.

From the initial discussions through to the finished product, Matthew was extremely helpful and made the whole process straightforward.

The covers are excellent quality, fitted perfectly and were surprisingly easy to install.

They’ve completely transformed our outdoor kitchen and seating area, making the gazebo feel much cosier and giving us a space we can genuinely use all year round.

Excellent product, great service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Cunningham Covers.

    Fantastic Company to deal with from start to finish Matthew kept us informed with drawings for our curtains for our pergola.  They arrived very quickly and the quality was fantastic very heavy quality.  Great that your able to open them via zips.  It was easy putting them up.  It's like another room we have for the Winter.  Highly recommend them.

    Ordered a bespoke cover for agricultural equipment.  The quality of workmanship was great, and the cover works a treat. Easy to put on, yet easily survived two big gales and torrential rain. The business provides excellent quality combined with fantastic customer service - wish all businesses were like this.
It was such a good product and lasted well over 7 years - we ordered a replacement and the same excellent service was provided.

    Really pleased with my small trailer cover. Perfect size and the bungee fits the fixing points. Excellent durable material. Great service over the phone to check and re-check sizes. Cover was posted quickly. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks.

    Very good quality and good service from Quote to Design to Completetion.  There was a slight mix up with manufacturing but once the issue came to light it was resolved very quickly, mistakes happen but I always look in to how quickly and effective a company deals with it and Cunningham Covers resolved this very quickly.

16oz Cotton Canvas Quotation

16oz Cotton Canvas Tarpaulin is the best natural grade cotton canvas available to buy. It is a natural material which is a waterproof tarpaulin that is also breathable. Made from 100% cotton, it has excellent heat retention characteristics and can withstand exposure to very hot surface temperatures.

Idea for Road Surface & Tarmac Contractors

16oz Cotton Canvas Tarpaulin is the ideal material for covering hot tarmac or asphalt. Cotton canvas contains no man-made or artificial fibre component so therefore it does not melt, distort or degrade with exposure to high temperatures in excess of 120°C. Due to the nature of this working environment with constant abrasion from stone and heavy plant machinery, the canvas undergoes an understandable degree of wear and tear. The lifespan of a well used canvas cover is typically 12-16 months.

Tarmac and asphalt canvas covers have traditionally been made from heavy-grade 16oz cotton canvas. Lighter grades of canvas are not recommended due to the abrasive environment.

Getting tarmac and asphalt from plant to the point of use without significant cooling is critical. Up and down the roads and motorways of Britain and Ireland, thousands of lorries carry tens of thousands of tonnes of asphalt and tarmac every day. For as long as anyone can remember, the easiest and most effective way to keep the ‘black stuff’ from cooling has been to throw a large cotton canvas directly on top of the asphalt or tarmac in the lorry’s tipper immediately after loading.

The canvas tarpaulin is prevented coming off in transit with 6mm polypropylene rope which is looped through a series of brass eyelets, usually located every 4ft (or 1.2m) along the edge of the tarpaulin.
