Should the reading for this be キャンバスじ instead of キャンバスち?  The entry references the entry for 地 as じ not ち, and I just found it as じ in a book.

For the record, I note that there are the following entries:-

キャンバス地テント 【きゃんばすちてんと】 (n) canvas tent; canvas; canvass; JWN-02954163-n
キャンバス地のシート 【?】 canvas sheet; WI4
キャンバス地のハンドバッグ 【?】 canvas handbag; WI4
キャンバス地のリュック 【?】 canvas pack; WI4 

My point is that "キャンバス地" is, on its own, the "groundsheet" in English. We also could say "lay the sheet which is the groundsheet" or things like, "this sheet is called the groundsheet", etc..

In the text which I was reading the topic was erecting a tent. The first task was to lay the "キャンバス地のシート". I guess that a literal meaning would be "sheet belonging to ground canvass", but the canvass sheet which goes on the ground in a tent is called a "ground sheet"; at least in the tents which I have had.
