Just had the PVC tarp done. Pretty happy with it! Has two big air vents at the front that can be velcro'd open / closed and that have mesh in them also.

It rained last night - no water ingress around the accessory mounts up the top. :)

Nice. I'm going to be doing up a hybrid (hard roof/soft sides) canopy for myself this weekend. Did the PVC covers set you back much?

$1100 mate.

I got some leakage, water dripping along some of the seams on the top. Applied some seam sealer and all good now.

If I was doing it again I'd make it a sloped roof.

Just had it up southern QLD for a week and we got a fair bit of rain, stayed dry.

Would be hard to stop water pooling on top if there was any slack in the pvc I suppose...

$1100 sounds like a lot but you don't get anything cheap these days!

You don't mate. Apart from the thread holes, PVC is waterproof so a bit pooled on top isn't a problem if the seams are filled with seam sealer. If you aren't parked on dead level ground, it just runs off anyway.
