We oversize

Sorry for no good pictures on this part, we were to busy and covered with glue to take any, each wall took about 20 very active mintues to finish. Cut the canvas to make sure it would fit easily on the wall. We allowed overhang on top and bottom of about 8 inches, this will be used to overlap the roof and come underneath the wall to prevent leakage. There are 100 different ways of doing Poor Man's Fiberglass, this is what we did and it worked well for us.
1. Rough the surface of the wall
2. Buy lots of Titebond III glue (Titebond II will work but III gives better water protection and a little longer working time)
3. Quickly Roll (with paint roller) a generous coating of glue on the wood, in our case the entire wall.
4. Have four people each holding one corner, holding the canvas above the wall then navigate into position.
5. Lower the canvas onto the wall, this thing was big about 16ft x 8ft.
6. Having someone on each side of the wall stretch the canvas to remove any large wrinkles, small wrinkle should come out as the canvas shrinks even a little more.
7. Press the canvas into the glue, we tried everything but nothing worked better than just our gloved hands.
8. Reapply glue where glue doesn't penetrate the canvas (look for the color change)
9. Work out the smaller wrinkles as best you can with your hands or some other flat object.
10. We then finished up with a rolling pin and rolled down all the edges.
11. Walk away and let it dry. 72 hours is good.
note: We used about one and half gallons of glue on each wall.
