Camp Canvas was founded in 2019 by outdoor enthusiasts who believed that quality gear deserves a long life. What started as weekend repairs for friends has grown into a full-service tent restoration workshop serving thousands of campers across Cape Town .
Our team combines decades of experience in textile work, materials science, and backcountry living. Every tent that enters our shop receives the same care and attention we'd give our own gear—because we know how much it means to have reliable shelter when you're miles from civilization.
Whether you're preparing for a multi-week thru-hike or simply want to extend the life of your family camping tent, we bring expertise, passion, and craftsmanship to every stitch.
A look at the repairs, rebuilds and craftsmanship that go into every tent we restore.
Here's what our customers say about our tent repairs and rebuilds.
My 4-person dome tent had a torn flysheet after a storm at Cape Point. Camp Canvas patched it and re-sealed every seam — it's held up through two more winters.
They rebuilt the frame of my old canvas tent from scratch. It feels sturdier than when I bought it. Honest pricing and they kept me updated the whole way.
The zip on my tent door was completely seized. They fitted a new YKK zip in two days and it glides like new. Great service from start to finish.
I dropped off a tent I was ready to throw away. They waterproofed it and replaced two poles. It survived a week of rain in the Cederberg without a single leak.
Our family tent had a rip along the whole side panel. The patch job is so neat you can barely see it. My kids are back to camping every school holiday.
Fast, friendly and professional. They collected my tent, sent photos of the damage, and had it back to me in three days. That's how you run a business.
I run a small glamping setup and Camp Canvas maintains all eight of my tents. Reliable, tidy work and they always deliver before the weekend bookings.
The seam sealing they did is outstanding. We camped through a proper Cape winter downpour and stayed bone dry. Worth every rand.
They replaced the shock-cord poles on my hiking tent and reinforced the guy-line points. Lightweight again and rock solid in the wind.
A mouse chewed a hole through my tent floor. They patched it with a matching fabric and you'd never know it happened. Excellent craftsmanship.
I've used three repair shops over the years and this is the only one that treats a tent like it matters. The rebuild on my vintage canvas tent is beautiful.
Booked their emergency service the day before a trip. They fixed a broken pole and a torn vestibule in under 24 hours. Absolute lifesavers.
They custom-made a replacement flysheet for a tent model that's been discontinued for years. Fitted perfectly. I'm genuinely impressed.
The team repaired our scout troop's tents before camp. Twelve tents, all done in a week, all in perfect condition. The kids had a brilliant time.
Waterproofing reapplication made a huge difference. My tent used to mist up and soak through; now it shrugs off the weather. Great value for money.
Straight-talking, fair prices and no upselling. They told me one repair wasn't worth doing and saved me money. That kind of honesty earns loyalty.
My rooftop tent's zip and canvas both needed work. They handled it with real care and even cleaned it before returning it. Feels brand new.
We use our tents for church camps every season. Camp Canvas keeps them going year after year. Dependable people who clearly love what they do.
A full rebuild on a tent I'd owned for fifteen years. New fabric, new poles, new zips. It's better than the day I bought it. Thank you, Camp Canvas.
