The People
Behind every cover, awning, and tarpaulin is a team of people who genuinely care about the craft. We're adding team photos shortly — in the meantime, here's who you'll be working with.
Ruan Botha

Sarah Williams

Themba Dlamini
Lead Canvas Craftsman
Over 18 years of canvas manufacturing experience. Themba's eye for precision is why our seams hold and our covers last. He trains every new craftsperson we bring on.
Pieter Botha
Sales & Customer Relations
Your first point of contact. Pieter knows every product we make and will give you honest advice on the right material, weight, and spec for your specific application and budget.
Anele Nkosi
Repairs Specialist
Anele handles all our repair work — from torn seams to broken zips to full canvas replacements. If it's made of canvas or PVC, she can assess and fix it, regardless of the original manufacturer.
Yusuf Essop
Production & Quality Control
Nothing leaves the workshop without Yusuf's sign-off. He checks every stitch, zip, grommet, and seam before dispatch. His standard is simple: would he be happy to receive this himself?
Call, WhatsApp, or email us. You'll reach a real person who knows the product — not a chatbot, not a call centre.
