Review on Mybecca Waterproof Canvas Marine Awning Fabric Foliage 600 Denier Indoor/Outdoor PU Backing UV Protector By The Yard (1 Yard, Foliage) (Cut Separate By Yard For Prime Orders) by Wendy Parks

The performance: As soon as I received this fabric, I tested it by laying a small sewn piece flat outside in an exposed part of my backyard. This was wintertime in the Pacific Northwest, and it was unusually rainy and dark even for the PNW. In the entire time this fabric was outside, it was exposed to at most four days of full sun for maybe 3-4 hours each day. The area was shaded for about half the day. The fabric was outside for about three months in total. In the photos, the material in the background is the same green fabric used as a sewing machine cover in a sunny room, and it's still pretty much as-new. The piping is typical lightweight nylon tape. The photo makes the fading look a little worse than it is to the naked eye, but it is still unacceptable.The green fabric might be okay for a sacrificial cover over another cover, but if I made a Bimini, a grill cover, or something similar out of this fabric and it faded this fast *in the winter*, I'd be super bummed. As others have experienced, I would expect this fabric to turn entirely white in just a month or two of summertime exposure.Good things: The fabric remained water-resistant, it is easy to sew with, and the original green color is nice. For interior projects and bags, it is probably fine. But for the work that goes into constructing most outdoor projects, this material is a waste of time.
