Custom Boat Covers
Our custom boat covers are crafted with Aqualon Marine fabric, Sunbrella, or Top Gun materials to ensure durability and weather resistance. Designed to fit any boat type, these covers protect against UV rays, rain, and debris. Each cover is handmade in Montana, offering tailored color options and reinforced stitching for long-term use.
Truck Tarps
Big Sky Canvas manufactures lightweight yet durable truck tarps using Shelter-lite fabric, 33% lighter than standard lumber tarps. Available in standard or custom sizes, these waterproof tarps secure flatbed cargo, reduce debris risks, and comply with transportation regulations. Made in the USA, they feature reinforced D-rings and grommets for heavy-duty use.
Wall Tents
Our wall tents are built with 10-13 oz canvas, fire-treated and waxed for water resistance. Designed for extreme conditions, they include optional sewn-in floors, rain flies, and internal frames. Generational quality ensures 15-20 years of use, ideal for camping, hunting, or glamping in rugged environments.
Custom Manufacturing
We specialize in custom fabric manufacturing for industrial and recreational needs, including jet engine covers, RV skirting, and machinery tarps. Using premium materials and precision craftsmanship, we create bespoke products to exact specifications, ensuring durability and functionality for unique applications.

From hunting and hiking gear to RV accessories and camping stoves, our outdoor equipment is designed for versatility and longevity. Products like archery stands, athletic bags, and tension tents cater to adventurers seeking reliable, high-performance gear for all terrains.
