Hi there Brad,

Seattle Fabrics is where I got my material, I used the Super K-Kote Ripstop. 4 oz per sq yd 140 denier.

They also have bungie and accessories, and neoprene. If you ask, they will throw in a pattern they have for a nylon sprayskirt.

You can mail order from them at:

: Ben,
: I am looking for a source for the nylon material for a spray deck. The local
: Jo-Ann fabric store does not have anything Waterproof.
: What weight (denier) nylon did you use?
: What Is it Coated With?
: Is it available by Mail-order/online supplier?
: Has anyone tried buying uncoated nylon and using a waterproof wash or spray?
: Does any body have a good source for suitable neoprene?
: Any online sources for bungee cord or cord locks?
: My boat has an extra large (20x42) cockpit opening so standard spray decks
: are out of the question.
: Thanks,
: Brad Farr
