    Besides Bear Paw, who else does custom sewing? I'm trying to figure out (mainly price-wise) whether I should pester my neighbour or "outsource" my bathtub floor.

    What exactly are you looking to have done? That might change the answer.

    Also, Bearpaw sells silnylon floors and Zpacks sells cuben ones if you just want to buy a non-custom bathtub floor.

    If you really don't want to sew or buy one, just buy the fabric, make a drawing, and take it to a local tailor/seamstress.

    I want to sew me a complete bathtub floor for my coming Oware tarp. I'd go with the pre-made ones from Bear Paw, but I want it in PU nylon, not silnylon.

    You can check the dimensions on the shangri la floors and see if they'd work.

    If you want a full floor, we have instructions on how to make your own from a tarp of course it will not bathtub. The weight difference of PU and lightweight tarp is minimal.

    Of course, unless there is a reason (and there are reasons such as chiggars and sand) going floorless often has benefits.
