National Canvas

Marine canvas and upholstery, built by hand since 1974.

Custom sunshades, upholstery, covers, and enclosures for the finest boats on Florida’s coast, in premium marine-grade materials built to outlast the weather.

Since 1974

Over fifty years on the water.

Every cover, cushion, and shade is cut, sewn, and finished by hand in our own South Florida shop. We take pride in every stitch, and build each piece to last through years of sun, salt, and weather. A selection of recent work follows.

A National Canvas Program

Reshade

Shade sails and canopies for structures that already exist. When a shade fails to sun, age, or a storm, we remake it fast, off the exact template, in premium marine-grade fabric, and install it on your existing posts. New can take eight to twelve weeks. A Reshade remake takes two to four.
