PhilP here sells a goodly piece of suitable roofing 'linen' for not a lot of money - I recommend it to anybody looking to replicate a fabric-covered roof.

No connection, I'm just a provider of the finest bara brith to the cognoscenti. :)
Okay tac, let me check that I've understood this correctly.

To get a good looking canvas roof, use a layer of Philp's good lady's bara brith, and then apply it with PVA glue?

PhilP's good lady provides the suitable linen material, but MY good lady provides the home-made bara brith, as otted in fine establishments from Chester to places West. As they say, 'back home in Penrhyndeudraeth, it's world-famous!!'
 
Another good option is an old duvet cover, the material is quite thin. Though best to use a plain one. Oh dear are we becoming a sewing site?
 
Decided to take the roofs off, easier said than done, 2 screws at the top of the blanking panels, but on the inside, just in reach of the screwdriver, will be fun tightning back up:worried:

Covering trimmed, and either conduit or just cables and junction boxes fitted. 2 also had guttering put on, the rest will have to wait until I get more plastistruct 1x1mm.
