I went to Builder's Mart here in Elko & asked about painter's tarps or
canvas tarps in general.  Here was the reply.  They seemed rather pricey to
me.
drop cloths
4X15 @ 14.99
9X12 @ 20.67
12X15 @ 32.98  [This seems to be the right size.... multiplied by 4 for the
body of the tent, then add 4 small ones for the doors.]
If one chooses to get canvas tarps, instead, [sturdier, heavier]:
a 12X16 is 81.99.  Again, one needs 4 + doors.
& this is for a smallish tent.
Oh, you also need canvas for the sleeve.
I'm dickering w/ a tent maker ...  I think I can get the tent for the cost
of the canvas & he makes the thing!
I'll know soon.  Hugs, Jennifer
