boat vinyl by the yard
Sun, salt spray and wet swimsuits are tough on any seat, which is why boat vinyl by the yard is the go-to choice for reupholstering helm chairs, bench cushions and sun pads. Buying yardage lets you cut exactly what your project needs, whether you are refreshing a single captain's chair or redoing an entire cockpit.
Why Choose Marine Vinyl Fabric
Marine vinyl fabric is designed for life on the water. It wipes clean easily, sheds moisture instead of soaking it up, and keeps a crisp look season after season with simple care. It is just as useful off the boat for patio furniture, RV interiors and other outdoor seating.
What to Look For
- UV and mildew resistance: Check product details for protection against fading and moisture.
- Backing: A knit or fabric backing adds stretch, making curved cushions easier to wrap.
- Color and texture: Match your hull and trim, or mix shades for a custom two-tone design.
Planning Your Yardage
Measure each cushion's top, sides and boxing, then add extra for seams and pattern placement. Ordering a little more than you need helps avoid dye-lot differences later.
