Slightly OT - looking for source of reinforced tarpaulin fabric

[The Night Tripper]

Hi all I'm looking to get hold of a few meters of the sort of fabric/tarpaulin shown in this photo:

from describe it as a polyester reinforced vinyl. I've failed to find a source in the UK, especially of small amounts that aren't made up into a tarpaulin with hems & eyelets etc. Any pointers?

Thank a lot Jon N

Does it have to be clear?

per meter, 1.5m wide.

Sign shops that print banners may have offcuts or roll ends of the type used for banners.

It might be cheaper to buy a tarp and cut it up

Hi Owain

£12 per meter, 1.5m wide.

Yes, it does. I want to make it up into small bags (for cables etc) that I can see into.

Any marquee makers nearby? I've bought offcuts before now.

Offcuts like that would be perfect, but I don't think there are any close enough. I'll hunt a bit more in this direction, thanks.

I'd suggest asking a sailmaker. It looks a lot like hi-tech sailcloth.

You'll end up with something like this:

perhaps not at the price!
