even tent and awning material tends to be half the weight needed.
When I had the original 60cwt tarp made (and mudflap material)..it was by a company which existed in WWII.. and was the very heavy..treated canvas... the tarp weighed a ton! and flaps were pretty stiff.. wish I had access to those Convoy templates...Phil may be correct there may have been two strips of stiffeners.

The samples that I have are 3 variations of the same design as posted by Mariano; probably just variations in canvas and perhaps various makers. The canvas is fairly typical of heavyweight tarp canvas but, as Marc said, there appears to be an interior layer of extra canvas or padding. A steel plate, 1.5" wide is sewn into the lower section. The padding and the steel plate give the impression of a thick, almost quilted mudflap.
