Hi Kurt,

Use the material known in the fabric world as Flag Bunting. It is color
fast so it won't run black dye on a dewy night. It can be purchased at
Fabric Bonanza Stores if there is one near you. Otherwise any fabric
store carries it. Have it fitted and sewn by a seamstress. A seamstress
can usually be recommended by the store at which you purchase the Flag
Bunting. Best design has thin bungie cord sewn into the bottom and top
seams and exposed in 4 places around each seam. Then place stainless
hammock hooks ( available in marine supply stores ) opposite these
bungie cord openings at points attached to the upper cage and lower
mirror box.
This design gives quick and easy attaching and removal of the shroud.
