Once-off jobs · New service

One of something? We'll build it.

For years this factory only did production runs. We've made room on the floor: bring us a single cover, tarp, blind or bag, and it gets the same treatment as a production unit — CNC-cut, properly sewn or welded, built to last.

What we build one at a time

If it's made of ripstop canvas or PVC, it's probably on this list. If it isn't, ask anyway.

Bakkie & tonneau covers

Fitted covers for load bins and trailers, in ripstop canvas or PVC.

Boat covers

Shaped covers for boats and jetskis — sun, dust and rain protection.

Truck & trailer tarps

Heavy-duty PVC tarps and covers with welded, fully waterproof seams.

Pool covers

Welded PVC covers made to your pool's exact dimensions.

Equipment covers

Generators, compressors, pumps, braais — if it stands outside, we'll cover it.

Patio & veranda blinds

Canvas drop blinds to close in a stoep against wind and rain.

Awning covers

New canvas or PVC covers for awning frames you already have.

Custom bags

Tool bags, wood bags, peg bags and storage bags — in ripstop canvas or PVC.

Custom-size tarpaulins

The most common once-off of all. Three materials, your dimensions, an eyelet every metre.

Price your tarp

Pick a material and punch in your size. The price is the area times the material rate, rounded up to the nearest R10.

24 m² R660

Eyelets every metre and 50 mm hems included. WhatsApp us the size and material to confirm and order.

Need the same item again and again?

Then you don't want a once-off — you want a production run, where the unit price drops and every unit matches. That's our contract manufacturing service.

Got the measurements?

Send them through. You'll get a real price for your exact job — usually the same day.
