They certainly have really big ones in Super Home Centre (South) ... they also sell covers for patio furniture with shapes from large oval to large and small square sets. In the north I'm not aware of where they are stocked but there has to be somewhere.



The trouble is find a place to store it when covered where the wind doesn't turn the whole thing into a giant sail!

There's a Yapi market on the left between Catalkoy and Blanco (furniture store). Don't remember the name, but two years ago I bought a tarpaulin, at least 10 x 10m for 60TL. I use it for covering my log cage!



I'll look out for the name.



I asked everywhere, and this place came up trumps.

Stevie-d. If you want a Rolls Royce solution, rather than tarpaulin which can of course in time crack, leak, rip in strong winds etc consider a sheet of butyl rubber as used in inflatable lifeboats. It is impervious to water, suns rays etc, and in Uk some manufacturers give a 100 year guarantee. Obviously the cost is greater.

Butyl rubber available in Alsancak/Lapta. There is a garden centre called I believe "Babel" or similar on a turning to the left on the Coast Road as leaving Alsancak and approaching the Lapta Strip. Have a good, safe, and lightweight, journey back.
