performance outdoor fabric
Sun, rain and spilled lemonade are part of outdoor living, and performance outdoor fabric is made to handle all of it. Whether you're recovering patio cushions, sewing poolside pillows or making a shady canopy, the right outdoor upholstery fabric keeps your space looking fresh season after season.
Why Choose Performance Fabric Outdoors
Ordinary cotton can fade, absorb moisture and turn musty when left outside. Performance textiles are designed to stand up to the elements so your projects last longer with less upkeep.
What to Look For
- UV resistance: Fade resistant fabric, such as solution dyed acrylic, holds its color in bright sun.
- Water resistance: Water resistant outdoor fabric helps shed light rain and quick spills.
- Mildew resistance: Helps keep cushions fresh in humid weather.
- Easy care: Many options clean up with mild soap and water. Always check each product's care notes.
Popular Projects
Use patio cushion fabric for seat pads and chaise lounges, or choose lighter weights for throw pillows, table runners, umbrellas and outdoor curtains.
