A little snapshot of life at Tasman Canvas lately 👀

From workshop moments and four-legged office supervisors 🐶 to custom builds, yurt projects, and pieces that are getting a lot of love (yes, that built-in couch 🙌), it’s been a busy few weeks around here.

We love showing the mix of what goes on behind the scenes: the people, the projects, and the craftsmanship that keeps things moving.

There's something about waking up inside a canvas tent: the smell of the fabric, the morning light filtering through.

🌿 This is what we make. Not just shelter but an experience.

Our Origin Bell Tents are hand-crafted in Motueka, built for New Zealand's climate, and designed to last seasons of adventure.

Whether it's a glamping site, a festival, a retreat, or your own backyard. We'll build the space you've been imagining.

A little recap from our latest Greytown trip 👌

From the travel and setup to coffee stops, late dinners, sightseeing, and the final install, there’s always a lot happening behind the scenes on projects like these.

That’s the part we enjoy most though. Good people, good yarns, and creating something unique together.

Thanks to everyone involved in this one 🙌

💡 Your canvas investment deserves proper care.

Whether it's a shade sail, a tent, or a marine cover, a little maintenance goes a long way.

Here's what we recommend:

✅ Rinse with fresh water after coastal exposure
✅ Allow to fully dry before folding or storing
✅ Check fixings and tension points seasonally
✅ Use a mild soap (never bleach) for spot cleaning
✅ Store in a cool, dry place; avoid UV during off-season

Good maintenance can double the lifespan of your product. We'll always tell you exactly how to look after what we make.

Finished up this custom yurt project in Greytown and pretty proud of how it turned out 👌

Our yurts are designed to be practical, durable, and comfortable while still creating a unique space that feels connected to the environment around it.

From the planning stage right through to installation, every project is built to suit the space, the people using it, and New Zealand conditions.

Big effort from the team on this one.

There’s more to this work than what you see on the machine.

Lana working through her apprenticeship studies, building the knowledge that backs up the hands-on side of the job.

It’s all part of making sure the work we do holds up properly over time.

Good to have her on the team.

It’s all part of doing the job right. If you’ve got a project in mind, come talk it through with the team.

A quick stop out at Castlepoint Lighthouse before heading back home after the Greytown project 🌊

One of the best parts about travelling for work around Aotearoa is getting to see places like this along the way.

Fresh air, good views, and a chance to reset before getting back into the workshop.

Could definitely think of worse offices 😅

Seen a setup somewhere and thought, “I’d love something like that”? Come chat with us
