Interior Removing canvas bed end

[Matt J]

I have a bed end with tear in the fly and had been looking for photos on how to remove the canvas for repair. I couldn't find any photos but got the impression it was not too hard so I've had a crack and took some photos as I went.

Only took 15 minutes to get it off. Might be more difficult getting it back on, I'll let you know.

Welcome @Matt J, your pretty good at removing the canvas, but not so flash at uploading the pics.

I had my screens recently replaced with midgie mesh by www.allsortsacanvas.com.au/ in Hastings. He was recommended by Page Bros and did a pretty good job; flat, neat and original looking. $400 for all 3 screens removed and replaced

The pics come up OK on my PC. They are also posted in the media albums.

No pics here either, "download error, no permission " notice..................................I did a write up on removal a few years back, just remember to put a dob of bog on the screws when you replace them and don't overtighten .

Apologies, I will have to try and fix the photos when I get a chance.
In the end the repairer suggested to sew in a strip over the existing tear as it was straight along the bottom and the rest of the fly was in good condition. Only $40 for the patch repair, was quoted $140 to replace whole fly. Haven't yet tried to put it back yet.

Hi Drover, can I ask when you say dob of bog, what bog are you talking about? I’d like to replace the screws around my bed ends as they have surface rust on them and look daggy but have been hesitant cause I’m not sure if they are once only type screws and won’t tighten properly on the second go.

dob of bog

put some silicon or some sort of adhesive (glue)

hi, sorry, I also cannot see the images im told I don't have permission to see them. Was it hard getting the ends back in the channel?
