http://kayospruce.com/ will supply you.

They claim to be "the largest supplier of specialised textile materials and accessories in Europe" but I have no experience of them

http://www.hawkehouse.co.uk/default.asp has a good reputation and will I think also supply you. I have had good service from them

The cloth is known as acrylic canvas, a search for that should get you a local supplier if there is one.

The best material to use is Sunbrella. As far as I know it is not available in the UK, although I don't know if it is in Eire.

Canvas sellers in the UK (such as Kayo Spruce) will claim they have similar fabric of equal quality - it isn't, as we found to our cost. The best place to buy it is www.sailrite.com which is where get ours.

I think you will find that Kayospruce sell Sunbrella as well as a much less expensive acrylic canvas called Sauleda.
