A History of Canvas. Canvas is a heavy, closely woven fabric used for making sails, tents, covers, awnings and other functions where sturdiness is required. Typical weights range from 10 to 50 ounces per square yard. The word 'canvas' is derived from the Arabic word for cannabis, a Latin word meaning 'hemp'. In earlier times, hemp was popularly used to make canvas. Modern canvas is usually made of cotton, linen or synthetic materials. Canvas has a very simple weave - the weft thread just goes over one warp thread and under the next. Canvas is very hard-wearing, generally water-resistant.
Those bits of wood that come with a canvas are called canvas keys, and are for ensuring the canvas remains tight.

Some canvases are made with rigid corners, without the option of hammering in a wedge or key.
