About the company

Canvas & Vinyl Specialties is a Brisbane-based manufacturer of awnings and outdoor blinds, founded by its original owners in 1985. The company custom makes a large range of products including shade sails, PVC tensioned membranes, framed shade structures, clear PVC roll-up blinds, caravan annexe repairs, roll-out caravan awnings and walls, utility canopies and tonneau covers, marquee and promotional tents, tarpaulins, commercial covers, and windsocks.

It operates in-house CAD design facilities and can fabricate products using computer aided plotter cutters. The company also has the facility to high frequency weld PVC coated fabrics. Where possible, it prefers to use Australian sourced products.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Canvas & Vinyl Specialties draws consistent praise for the calibre of its custom textile work, with several customers describing finished items that matched or exceeded their expectations. Reviewers repeatedly mention Natalie Vaux by name, noting her readiness to explain suitable materials, display samples and work through a brief even when measurements supplied by the customer were rough.

Ute canopies, camper trailer covers, compressor and toolbox covers, outdoor furniture covers, caravan covers and enclosures for a 180 degree awning all feature among completed jobs, alongside repairs to shade cloth and general stitching. A point made in several accounts is how well the team interprets a verbal description, turning an idea into a neatly secured compartment or canopy without compromising the original item. Turnaround is described as prompt, with one small repair fitted into the day to get a customer moving again, and communication before and after the work is noted as clear and informative.

Customers also refer to fair pricing, helpful advice on fabrics, vinyl and colour options, and a friendly manner across the Brendale workshop. The sewing and fabrication skills of the all-female team are singled out, as is the willingness to refer enquiries elsewhere when a job falls outside what the business can produce. Covers for work trailers and campervan inserts are among the bespoke items most often mentioned.

Great service and prices for restitching the canvas backs of our deck chairs.

Not the place to go for anything too tricky or bulk orders.... I was enquiring about getting my design drawn on CAD as I wanted to get 50 of these items. I was happy to pay for the CAD drawings, bottom line I wanted them made to a standard, and felt that having the CAD as the reference would protect us both. Doug had quite the derogatory tone as he explained that simple CAD they could do on site, if it got to hard then they would send it away, but felt it was not necessary. Going from the previous reviews, I did not give up, he might be having a bad day. I sent in my drawings and they promptly said they were not interested. I give them two stars as they were very prompt at answering questions and replying to email. Minus three stars for poor communication and a lack of desire to work with the customer.

I needed some bespoke inserts to attach to my Delica campervan to make the 180 degree awning and walls properly enclosed. Natalie and her team turned what was a general idea and some not very reliable measurements (by me) into a really high quality piece of work that went well beyond what I thought could be done. They really take the time to understand what a customer is trying to achieve, and then put their experience into action. Highly recommended.

I had ute canopy made to what I wanted and it is absolutely fantastic. I also had my caravan cover modified and I was very pleased with the end result.

A hugh thank you to Natalie Vaux, Managing Director of this company. We were hoping to have a vinyl canopy made for our 4WD. Natalie was quite upfront informing us the company was unfortunately unable to provide our requirement. However, Natalie when above and beyond, providing us another company and mob no. Natalie also was very informative regarding a suitable material, displaying samples. Highly recommended and a special commendation to Natalie and thi company. Jenni & Les Scott: Caravan Nomads

I wanted an additional Compartment added to a vinyl camper trailer cover. As I didn’t have a picture of exactly what I wanted I could only describe it. Not only was the end product exactly what I wanted, the quality of work is great! The additional compartment is secured neatly, and the existing cover has maintained its original integrity. Thoroughly recommend team at Canvas & Vinyl Specialties

Natalie and her staff were fantastic in sorting out some covers for our outdoor furniture, great service and lovely job done in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
