CUSTOM TENTAGE

INTERIOR SOLUTIONS, FABRICS, MOSQUITO NETS & UPHOLSTERY

Canvas Zone was established in 2007 to fill the need for a locally placed canvas goods manufacturing company. At that stage virtually all tentage was being imported from South Africa. Canvas Zone is a majority citizen owned company, fully domiciled in Botswana and has grown significantly in the past 14 years.

Canvas Zone is managed and run by Hendrick B. Friday who is currently leading a team of 9 canvas tailors and our pattern cutter. Nchilili “Chilly” Lebakeng heads up the interiors department with a group of 4 seamstresses and a full time upholsterer.

Canvas Zone specializes in the manufacture of custom tent-age, ranging from smaller bow tents, through to the classic Meru tent range as well as client specific custom tent design and manufacture. We also make canvas panels and blinds for ready made structures.

We do canvas coverings for safari vehicle seats and roofs as well as radiator seed screens. Also in our range of products are canvas bags, coffee baskets, ponchos, dog beds, camping chairs, wash basins, bedrolls and toiletry bags amongst other items. We supply un-worked canvas, PVC, velcro, zips, webbing, binding tape, rope and fabric per meter or roll to those companies that employ their own tailors for canvas work.

Our seamstresses make curtains, fabric inner ceilings for tents, mosquito nets, table cloths, complete cushions, cushion covers, mattress covers, fabric blinds, loose covers for chairs and sofas, buffet bowl covers, napkins and any non-canvas fabric work.

Canvas Zone are suppliers of fabrics from Hertex, Leather Link, Bloch and Levitan as well as Ferrari PVC and shade net from Synchron.
