Hi. I found a supplier for canvas duck cloth. Here's the information about it:
Classic canvas 100% cotton fabric with waterproof treatment, Carhartt material, 10 ozs. per square yard, top quality material for upholstery, bags, jackets and other proyects.
Color HUNTER GREEN, xx yards long and 64 inches wide.
COMPOSITION: 100% cotton with waterproof treatment
COLOR: Hunter Green, others available
WEIGHT: 10 ozs. per square yard.
FIBRE: Cotton. Originally made in linen.
WEAVE: Plain, but also crosswise rib.
CHARACTERISTICS: Also called duck. Name originated in 18th Century when canvas sails from Britain bare the trademark symbol - a duck. Very closely woven and heavy. it is the most durable fabric made. There are many kinds of duck but the heavier weighs are called canvas. It may be unbleached, white, dyed, printed or painted. Washable, many are water-proof and wind proof. Made in various weights.
USES: Utility clothing in lighter weights, such as trousers, jackets, aprons. Also for awnings, sails, slipcovers, draperies, sportswear, tents, and many industrial uses.
Mine needs some adjustments and it isn't made of the duck cloth but it gives you an idea of how it's made. I can get it in several colors. I can get the 24 yards I used in my cover for around $60. It would be one solid color, not two tone unless you want it two tone. So if anyone is interested I'm willing to make a cover for $125 plus shipping. That would be sewn on the serger and double stitched seams. I would put 3 sets of grommets in so you can put bungy cords under it like mine too, if you want. So if anyone is interested just let me know. Thanks.

If you want it a little fancier just let me know. I'll need a few measurements before I start to sew it and payment would be at least 50% up front to purchase materials. Must be paid in full before shipment is made.
