Outdoor Fabric Sunbrella: Awning & Furniture Weight Canvas
Not all Sunbrella is the same, and choosing the right outdoor fabric Sunbrella weave makes the difference between a cover that lasts a decade and one that sags in a season. We group Sunbrella Canvas into two groups.
Group 1: Awning Canvas
Awning fabrics are waterproof, thick and ultra durable to wind, rain, snow and sun. Choose this group when the fabric has to shed water and stand up to full weather exposure year round — awnings, canopies, boat and equipment covers.
Group 2: Furniture Weight Canvas
Furniture Weight or non-awning Canvas is water friendly, sometimes water repellant, and is soft, easy to sew and great for outdoor upholstery. It drapes and tailors the way an indoor fabric does, so it is the group to reach for on patio cushions, pillows, slipcovers and seating.
Choosing Your Sunbrella Canvas
If the piece lives fully in the weather, start with awning canvas. If it needs to be sewn, stuffed or upholstered, start with furniture weight. Browse the full outdoor fabric Sunbrella range below to compare colors and weaves in both groups.
