pvc mesh fabric
When a project has to stand up to sun, water and constant use, PVC mesh fabric is one of the most practical materials you can choose. Made by coating polyester yarns in vinyl and weaving them into an open grid, this vinyl mesh fabric lets air and water pass through while holding its shape. It dries quickly, wipes clean easily and is generally resistant to mildew.
Popular Uses for Vinyl Coated Mesh
Its blend of strength and breathability makes PVC coated polyester mesh a favorite with DIYers and pros alike:
- Patio furniture: a classic sling chair fabric for loungers and director's chairs
- Marine projects: boat seating, storage pockets and covers
- Shade and privacy: windscreens, sunshades and fence panels
- Bags and gear: beach totes, laundry bags and pet beds
What to Look For
Weave and Weight
Tighter weaves offer more shade and privacy, while open weaves maximize airflow and drainage. Heavier outdoor mesh fabric suits load-bearing seats; lighter options are easier to sew into bags.
