There are a number of outdoor upholstery fabric and mesh material options but synthetic fabrics are often the superior choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural fibers tend to lose vibrancy and break down over time. Fabrics made from synthetic thread, infused with plastic, are much better options for outdoor upholstery covers.

They&#8217;re mold and mildew-resistant and can hold up against rubbing and tearing. This is especially important for outdoor upholstery fabrics in active residential and commercial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic fabrics are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/our-footprint\/solution-dyeing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">solution-dyed<\/a>, which means that the threads are dyed before they are woven. This allows the textile to retain its color longer, even when exposed to direct sunlight. While it is water-resistant, acrylic fabric is more breathable than other options, allowing it to stay cooler in hot weather. It\u2019s also easy to clean with mild soap and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All things considered, acrylic fabric is widely considered to be the best all-purpose textile for patio furniture cushions, throw pillows and <a href=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/umbrellas-shades.html\">patio umbrellas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sunbrella%25c2%25ae\">Sunbrella\u00ae<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunbrella.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sunbrella\u00ae<\/a> is generally recognized as the \u201cgold standard\u201d of acrylic outdoor textiles.

Polyester is strong, flexible, water-resistant damage and combats staining. It\u2019s tear-resistant and dries quickly, but most outdoor polyester fabrics (at least the non-treated average-grade options) fade faster than other synthetic textiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike, solution-dyed alternatives, polyester hybrids are dipped in color or have the color painted on after the threads are woven. You can achieve brighter colors and more intricate patterns, but it won\u2019t last as long when exposed to UV rays. Consequently, they do much better in shaded environments, where there is less direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic-coated polyester works well for accents and pillows, while vinyl-coated polyester has a plastic-like feel that is better suited for self-supporting seats and back slings, screens, umbrellas and backing, where there is less skin contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of the most renowned manufacturers of high-end PVC-coated polyester textiles are Ferrari and Twitchell.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ferrari-batyline%25c2%25ae-mesh\">Ferrari \u2013 Batyline\u00ae Mesh<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sergeferrari.com\/us-en\/products\/batyline-range\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Batyline\u00ae<\/a> mesh is a premium synthetic outdoor mesh fabric that is extremely strong and tear-resistant.
