outdoor canvas by the yard
Buying outdoor canvas by the yard lets you build exactly what your patio, porch or boat needs, from custom cushions to shade panels that fit your space perfectly. A good outdoor canvas fabric stands up to sun, rain and everyday wear, so your projects look fresh season after season.
What to Look For in Outdoor Canvas Fabric
Not all canvas is made for the elements. Before you cut, check these qualities:
- Fade resistance: UV-resistant outdoor fabric, especially solution-dyed acrylic canvas, holds its color in strong sunlight.
- Moisture protection: Water-resistant canvas sheds rain and dries quickly, which helps limit mildew.
- Weight and weave: Heavy-duty canvas yardage offers durability for high-stress uses, while lighter weights drape and sew more easily.
Popular Projects
Shade and Shelter
Awning fabric, pergola covers and sun shades benefit from tightly woven, breathable canvas.
Seating and Marine Use
Choose marine canvas for boat covers and biminis, or softer outdoor canvas for chair cushions and pillows.
