Stuart Canvas designs, manufactures, and supplies military covers for the defence market.
We supply custom made vehicle covers, environmental protection covers and transport covers for a wide range of vehicle platforms. We can source a broad range of materials to suit all climatic conditions, and offer continuity for enabling contracts, large run projects, and have also supplied items for UOR’s ( urgent operational requirements) contracts. Stuart Canvas offers a wealth of experience and can advise on the best solution for storage protection, installation, removal and logistics handling.
Specially designed to provide superior protection for vehicles and equipment during storage and transportation. All covers are available as partial or full coverage and are designed to ensure maximum ergonomic and aesthetic function. Stuart Canvas design practices consider all elements of product application, incorporate detailed fabric and components selection to ensure we provide the best functionality and protection when our covers are deployed.
One of the many contracts we have recently completed for the MoD was for the environmental protection of vehicles. We were tasked by the MoD to develop a covering ‘system’ which had to be an innovative design allowing installation and removal of the covers within 20 minutes. The system we developed was lightweight, provided internal and external protection and was durable enough to withstand harsh climates during transit or storage.
We adopted an internal solution utilising VCI’s (Volatile Corrosive Inhibitors) which are used to prevent anti-corrosion and ideal for this type of application, especially effective for long-term storage. The VCI’s are easy to install and remove from the covers and provide long-lasting protection. We also offer storage pouches to allow VCI’s to be securely fixed to suit all platform or container types.

PVC material is durable, sturdy, waterproof, and tear-resistant, giving it versatile applications. PVC is simple to maintain; it can be cleaned with a wet towel or washed with soapy water. It is waterproof with great weather resistance, including rain, snow, hail, UV rays, and frigid temperatures. We offer PVC in 580gsm to 900gsm weights with our most popular being 610gsm, which offers a great balance between performance and aesthetics. PVC is also available as a fire retardant option.
Manufactured from 580gsm PVC, this durable PVC comes in a variety of striped colours, making them versatile for different aesthetics. Specifically for canopies and market stalls, they offer ideal protection against the elements, being both waterproof and UV stabilised, ensuring longevity and reliability in outdoor settings.
This recyclable material offers a fabric weight of 350gsm whilst providing a tensile strength that is greater than a heavy duty PVC of 610gsm. The material is entirely PVC-free as it is manufactured from recyclable polypropylene. It can come with a polypropylene rope inside the hem. It also has a high UV durability of at least 5 years for Northern Europe. Recyclable polypropylene can be used on any application in which PVC would typically be used. It is also available in an extra-heavy duty 600gsm weight.
Durable and stylish multi-purpose ripstop fabric is available in a range of vibrant colours. Ripstop Canvas is a specially woven fabric that prevents tearing and ripping, making it ideal for projects that require the organic look of canvas but need the strength and durability that ripstop can provide.
Woven Polyester offers the perfect balance of science, toughness and style. It is a lightweight, highly water resistant, breathable, non sagging and durable fabric, ideal for covers, awnings, UV strips, upholstery, cushions, umbrellas and sun shades. It is available in two weights with various finishes and a wide range of colours to suit all applications.
Specially designed windbreak material is manufactured from robust polypropylene. It is UV stabilised, making it ideal for year round outdoor use. The material blocks the majority of wind from passing through, creating a still air area behind it. The porous nature of the martial prevents it from acting like a sail in high winds, while still offering protection.
Heavy duty PVC mesh is an extremely strong hard wearing fabric with a high tensile strength. The mesh allows for wind to pass through while still creating a strong barrier; it is ideal for areas requiring increased ventilation. It can also be added to PVC material to create an opening, for example, to create a window on a PVC machine cover to the retractable tunnel.
