water resistant outdoor fabric
Rain, morning dew and spilled drinks shouldn't ruin your patio projects. The right water resistant outdoor fabric sheds moisture, stands up to sun and keeps cushions, canopies and covers looking fresh season after season. Here's a quick guide to choosing the best material before you browse our selection.
What to Look For
Weave and Fiber
Tightly woven synthetics such as polyester and solution-dyed acrylic naturally resist water and dry quickly. Heavier canvas weaves add durability for high-traffic seating and covers.
Coatings and Finishes
Many water repellent fabrics feature a protective finish that causes water to bead up and roll off. Coated or laminated options offer stronger protection for awnings and equipment covers where staying dry matters most.
Sun and Mildew Resistance
UV resistant fabric helps colors hold up in direct sunlight, while mildew resistance is essential for humid climates and spots near pools or the water.
Popular Uses
- Patio cushion fabric and pillows
- Umbrellas, canopies and shade panels
- Grill, furniture and boat covers
- Tote bags and picnic blankets
