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.
Aug 3, 2011 at 4:36 pm #1765942What 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.
Aug 3, 2011 at 4:50 pm #1765946I 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.
Aug 3, 2011 at 8:52 pm #1766017You 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.
