I have called ITEX, and here is some more information:

at $2.54/yd, the canvas is 30-36" wide, sold only by the 100yd bolt.  It is
waterproofed and mildew-resistant.  At $3.33/yd, same fabric is treated for 
fire-resistance.  At $5.xx (sorry, memory is poor) can get 60-65" width.

I am not entirely sure whether the price for the wide stuff is flame-resistant
or only waterproofed.

I have samples en-route and will report to interested parties after I get it.
If more than 3-4 people want to know, I will post the information here.
