im looken for a place preferably online that sells BIG pieces of outdoor vinyl? preferably enough to go across my fullsize fleetside short bed..... im gonna cover a custom made flush cover for my bed and cover my subwoofer box and rear false floor with the same material as well..... problem is finding a place that sells it in BIG PIECES! like 6ft square pieces... id want like 3 pieces that big to cover the top, and underside of my bed cover and the third piece to cover my next box for my 18 as soon as i get this bed cover made im gonna start building the sub box.....
i just realy need a cover on my truck so i can haul around some MDF and not worry about it geting rained or snowed on...

The Joanne fabrics around here sells it in 6 foot wide rolls that are about 20 feet long, should be plenty to do that.
Another place to check is boat yards and other marine places, it's usually more expensive but they have it

Herculite is basically indestructable from the weather, I thought about using that for an install I was going to do, the company will send you some samples as for colors, strengths etc. It may not be what your looking for though. An upholstery shop is the only place I know that will have vinyls that could be used for ragtops and such.

ya they have it thanks for the link man! they said "You need Tonneau-Tex Bed Cover Vinyl. It is 78" Wide. Comes in Black, Blue, Brown, Red, Silver, White, etc... It is made for truck bed covers. I stock it, it is just not on the website. Give me a call to order it. It is $12.95 per yard.
Jason Nicholson 888-212-8630" thats awesom! great price as well!!!!!! i think i might just paint the top to match my truck even hell with it that cheap if it doesnt work that great ill just replace it.LOL and i get the paint cheap as well 50bucks a gallon so thats just as cheap tho eventualy id want to build it in aluminum sheeting and braces and paint it so its perfectly smooth! but thats not for quite some time. aluminum aint cheap
