  • Polyester

Polyester is known for its durability and versatility. It is lightweight and resistant. It can endure any outdoor conditions such as moisture from air, abrasions caused from outdoor use and fading due to exposure in the sun. 

  • Acrylic 

Another perfect fabric for outdoor furniture is acrylic. It is known for its water-resistant characteristics, meaning it is made and design to repel water from raindrops and such. It is commendable also for its durability. It can definitely withstand any stress of the outside. Although acrylic fabric is an expensive kind of fabric, but its durability, water-resistance, and its quality of having UV inhibitors can justify its price.

  • Olefin

Olefin is similar to the qualities of acrylic. It is water and stain resistant technically because Olefin is made from plastic fibers that do not absorb water or any liquid. It may have environmental effects but Olefin is safe for consumer’s health and there is nothing to worry about. Compared to acrylics, olefin is more affordable yet it does not have the softness with what acrylic fabrics have. 

  • Marine Vinyl

Another well-known outdoor fabric is Marine Vinyl. It is durable and strong just like other mentioned fabric. It is also water-resistant and can withstand stain, abrasion and scratch.

  • Cotton blend

You may encounter people saying that cotton easily fades its color once exposed directly to the sun. It is trye. Do not use 100% cotton as fabric for your outdoor furniture. However, cotton blends or cottons that are combined and mixed with other fabrics such as polyester and nylon can hold its color even when exposed directly to sun. cotton blends are lightweight and can resist wrinkles caused by excessive used. Another plus point of this fabric is it is consistently available in the market and is offered in an affordable price.

  • Wool or wool blends
