About Bob Power Canvas

A Brief History

Established in 1971, at 61 Bellevue Street, and still at this same address today. The business was called Canvas Supplies & Repairs in the early days. The name was changed to Bob Power Canvas a few years later to maintain the Power name which was already well established in the canvas industry. Bob’s father started his business, “D.J Power & Co. The Canvas Shop”, post war, and was operating in down town Toowoomba.

With business growing into the 80’s, two adjoining properties were bought, and the factory was extended to twice its size. Over the years many apprentices have been carefully selected and trained to become above average tradesman in the industry. Some going on to successfully run their own businesses.

We have not specialised in any one area of the canvas and vinyl industry but cover a wide range of products. This includes the smaller jobs like chair covers to making and installing large shade sails and structures.
