Message: [QUOTE="cowboy_dan, post: 79258, member: 258"] Tauter is correct. Well, I tried. I even got one end bolted down and used Vise-grips to get a handle on the other side, but it still didn't lay flat. What I needed was a nice hydraulic or pneumatic tool to pull on the full width of the canvas while holding the frame down and still. If it had two cylinders, one on each end of the clamps, I could fine tune the stretch to make it lay flat if the other end isn't quite square to the clamps. But that is waaaay out of my price range for this project. :( This would be perfect for a hard cover like your idea. Just make sure to have the hinges protrude up enough that either side will lay flat on the other. As mine is the bolts hold it up so it doesn't lay perfectly flat when folded open. But it's more than adequate for my purposes. [/QUOTE]
