Replacement Canvas Services in West Point, Iowa

Extend the Life of Your Fabric Building with Professional Canvas Replacement

Over time, even the strongest fabric or canvas systems wear down from sunlight, wind, and daily use. Miles Wellman Construction, Inc. provides reliable replacement canvas services to restore performance, protection, and appearance to your hoop, dome, or fabric building.


Based in West Point, Iowa, we serve farmers, businesses, and municipalities across Southeast Iowa who depend on fabric-covered structures for livestock, equipment, and material storage. We deliver fast, professional re-covering services that bring your building back to full working condition — often at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

When to Replace Canvas or Fabric Covers

Knowing when to replace your canvas helps prevent costly damage to the frame or contents inside. Signs it’s time to schedule replacement include:

  • Visible tears, holes, or fraying fabric

  • Discoloration or UV damage

  • Leaks or loss of waterproofing

  • Loose or slack tension

  • Corrosion or damage around anchor points

  • Unusual noise or flapping during wind

If you notice these issues, our team can inspect your structure and determine whether you need a full replacement or targeted repair. Proper replacement ensures continued protection, safety, and efficiency.

Our Replacement Canvas Process

Our process is thorough, efficient, and designed to get your building back to full use with minimal downtime.


  1. Site Evaluation and Measurement
    We start by assessing the frame, existing canvas condition, and tension system. Accurate measurements ensure a perfect fit for the new cover.

  2. Material Selection
    We help you choose the right fabric for your needs — heavy-duty, UV-stabilized materials designed for Iowa’s weather and application type (livestock, storage, or salt).

  3. Professional Removal
    The old fabric is safely removed without damaging the frame or anchors.

  4. Installation and Tensioning
    The new canvas is installed using correct tensioning and fastening techniques to prevent sagging or uneven stress.

  5. Inspection and Final Adjustments
    We confirm that all seams, anchors, and edges are tight and weatherproof before sign-off.

This step-by-step approach ensures that your structure remains safe, secure, and ready for many more years of reliable use

Replacement Canvas for All Building Types

We replace and install canvas on a wide range of fabric-covered buildings, including:



  • Hoop buildings for agriculture and storage

  • Dome buildings for salt or material containment

  • Livestock shelters and cattle barns

  • Commercial storage structures

  • Equipment and hay storage units

Our technicians are experienced with multiple manufacturers’ frame styles, including custom and older models. If your building’s brand or age is unknown, we can take field measurements to fabricate a perfect-fitting cover.

Benefits of Professional Canvas Replacement

Choosing a trusted, experienced builder for canvas replacement ensures:



  • Proper Fit: Every cover is measured and installed to exact frame dimensions.
