I would suggest going straight to WeatherMax 80. I have not used it but certainly will be in the future.

thanks!

i'll look into the Weathermax too...

Hi Fishy.
You;ll get Sunbrella material and zips etc from Bainbridge's in Brookvale.
Bainbridge. 273 Harbord Road Brookvale. 1800731149.

so, Goodearl & Bailey are good for Sunbrella, and they also sell the Dickson's range, which apparently is the same stuff but made in their French factory and cheaper.

Daley's is the place for Weathermax, and you can order over the phone and shipping is reasonable ($15 Sydney metro). they also sell webbing, buckles, etc.

Weathermax 80 is significantly cheaper than Sunbrella, so i've ordered some of that.
