I need to make a replacement top for my garden canopy (the metal kind). Has anyone done this successfully?
The wind destroyed the canvas top of my garden canopy. Since the only place that sells them is sold out until August, I'm thinking of making my own (I know how to sew). Home Depot has very large 18'X25' canvas tarps that might work. Anybody tried this?
OK here is goes, please say you still have the original canopy..... you could trace out the original pattern and try to recreate it..don't forget to add extra for seams.

Just a look at a fishpond, a fabric canopy, and a little how-to on how I anchored the canopy down.
The 31 Places to Go in 2010
1. Sri Lanka For a quarter century, Sri Lanka seems to have been plagued by misfortune, including a brutal civil war between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority. But the conflict finally ended last May, ushering in a more peaceful era for this teardrop-shaped island off India's coast, rich in natural beauty and cultural splendors.
The island, with a population of just 20 million, feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees. And then there's the pristine coastline. The miles of sugary white sand flanked by bamboo groves that were off-limits to most visitors until recently are a happy, if unintended byproduct of the war.
Among the most scenic, if difficult stretches to reach, is Nilaveli Beach in the Tamil north. While a few military checkpoints remain, vacationers can lounge on poolside hammocks under palm trees or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters. Or they can order cocktails at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel (www.tangerinehotels.com/nilavelibeach), a collection of recently renovated bungalows with private terraces.
