The canopy over our 5 year old swing seat (plastic) has become torn and irrepairable. I'd like to make up one myself, but I'm looking for advice as to what type of material to use.
Ideally it would need to be resistant to bleaching in the weather, not so thick that it couldn't be machine sewn to fit and preferably not shrink or expand much in the rain.
Any useful suggestions?
As usual, thanks in advance!

IIRC, they used PTFE coated fabric for the Millennium Dome. Doubt it's possible to get hold of. :-(
Waterproof aircraft coverings, etc...
Hah, decided yesterday to actually do something about a new cover for our swing seat!
I've emailed these people
Is it worth making yourself? It's not likely to be easy to sew (if the material was that thin the cover wouldn't very durable). I bought one readymade for ours for 10 or 15 quid; somewhere like B&Q or CoopersOfStortford IIRC.
