Common questions
Useful answers before you start.
Find answers to common questions about custom work, repairs and getting started.
If your question is really “Can you make this?”, the answer is often best found by sending a photograph and asking.
Do you only make standard products?
No. Standard product categories are useful starting points, but custom made and made to measure work are central to Canvasland. The team can work around dimensions, use and practical requirements.
Can I ask about something that is not listed on the website?
Yes. A photograph, sketch and short explanation of what you need the finished product to do are a useful place to begin.
Do you do repairs?
Yes, repairs and alterations can be considered. Send a photograph of the full item and close ups of the damaged areas so the team can assess what may be possible.
Do I need exact measurements before contacting you?
Not always. Approximate measurements are helpful for an initial conversation. The level of accuracy needed depends on the job.
Can you advise me which material to use?
Yes. It is often better to begin with where the product will be used, what it needs to withstand and how it needs to function.
Do you work with PVC as well as canvas?
Yes. Canvasland works across canvas, PVC, ripstop, shade cloth and other outdoor or specialist materials according to the application.
Do you make one off products?
Yes. One off and unusual jobs are part of what Canvasland does.
Can you copy an existing cover or bag?
Often an existing item can be useful as a reference, but the team will still need to consider dimensions, condition, material and any changes you want.
Can I send photos before visiting?
Yes. Photos are particularly useful for custom jobs and repairs. Include more than one angle where shape or fitting matters.
Where is Canvasland?
Canvasland is in Maitland, Cape Town. The workshop address is 733 Voortrekker Road, Unit C3, Maitland Park, Cape Town, 7405.
Still not sure?
Ask the question rather than trying to fit the job into a category.
Send a photo and a short description. That is usually more useful than searching for the perfect product name.
