We made a custom tree house in our yard and we need a tarp. It's a 6 foot by 6 foot perfect square...so bigger than most. The tarps they sell will not work so I need to make one. Where can I buy heavy duty, outdoor nylon or canvas fabric for this? I live next to Jo-Ann's and Hobby Lobby if that helps. Thanks!
 
JoAnn Fabrics sells Sunbrella outdoor fabrics on the bolt in many colors and patterns. It is particularly durable, won't fade or mildew. But, you may have to use the heavy duty needle on your sewing machine to make your own for that size. I would use a baseball stitch (double stitching) so it will hold up in any wind. Then I would use a grommet maker to make protected holes to attach it to the tree house. That way you can also take it down to launder it when it gets grungy.
