Quality of Work Going into our Products

We at SLO Sail and Canvas believe that our skills as craftsman are evident in every product that we make. We take great care in making each product, and the facilities that we have enable us to do high quality work efficiently.

We have over 2000 square feet of space with three in-floor sewing machines - two downstairs and one upstairs. This allows for many projects to be set up efficiently.

After we have a perfect pattern for a boat we digitize it into Patternsmith, our plotting design software. This image of a Sunfish cover digital pattern will be used to control our Carlson plotter-cutter and give us a perfectly cut boat cover.

Our people are highly trained in sewing, and use techniques that produce very durable products. We use multiple rows of stitching to prevent any premature failure of our product.

- Look at the seven (very straight) rows of stitching on this trampoline, other manufacturers use three rows

- Our grommets are punched in by hand to ensure they are firmly in the fabric and evenly spaced (hand grommeting is much more consistent than machine grommeting)

- We have done this long enough that we know the right questions to ask so you get the correct trampoline

- We use patterns for every trampoline we make so the size does not deviate

All of our products are heavily reinforced in areas that receive a lot of wear. - Notice the heavy-duty truck vinyl patches sewn in the corners - High quality bungee is used and the ends are burned to prevent fraying - The skirt the bungee rests inside of that goes around the rail has two rows of stitching for added protection - All of our covers are top stitched to give it that finished look - We split the transom for big hardware on hull covers - Reflective tape is added to covers that will be frequently towed (Top Gun covers)
