Tony,

If you use canvas and you can reach inside, I highly recomend painting the inside. If you use a synthetic like polyester or nylon, then it is only nescesary to do the outside. I couldn't reach the inside on mine, so I only painted the outside. I plan on spraying a product like Thompson's Water Seal on the inside. If you spray anything like that wait until the outside is fully cured the wear a respirator!

Mike

: Do you paint it on one side or on both sides? Thank you.
