outdoor linen look fabric
The Look of Linen, Built for the Outdoors
Outdoor linen look fabric gives patios, porches and poolside lounges the soft, slubby texture of natural linen without the wrinkles, fading and mildew worries that come with the real thing. Typically woven from synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyester or olefin, faux linen outdoor fabric brings an easy, organic feel to spaces that face sun, humidity and the occasional rain shower.
What to Look For
- Fiber and dye: Solution-dyed outdoor fabric carries color through the fiber itself, which helps it stand up to strong sun. Look for UV resistant outdoor fabric if your space gets full afternoon light.
- Weight: Medium to heavy weights suit seat cushions and linen look outdoor upholstery fabric projects, while lighter weaves drape nicely as outdoor curtain fabric.
- Finish and care: Check each listing for water-repellent or mildew-resistant finishes and the recommended cleaning method.
