Correct, but the upolstery grade is still intended for outdoor
use (patio furniture, etc). Not aware of any product under
the Sunbrella name that is intended primarily for indoor use.

Same thing. the upholstery grade has a softer 'hand'.

Never heard of "interior" vs "exterior" Sunbrella. There are two
grades but they are more appropriately designated as "Marine"
grade vs "Upolstery" grade. The marine grade comes in wider widths
and is a bit heavier.

Most "to-the-trade" wholesale fabric distributors (especially in major
coastal cities) will have excellent prices for sunbrella. I guess
the
same would apply to the Gr. Lakes, etc. or anyplace there is a lot of
boating activity. Be careful when you specify as the 'trade' uses two
distinct grades of Sunbrella - interior and exterior. Cash on the
barrel head only. If you have a legit. company letterhead, etc. they
will ship.

I have been searching for a good price on Sunbrella in quantities
less
than
a full roll.. (it seems a full roll is the best deal but that would
be
200
yds).

Sail Rite is good and they have always treated me well, but their
per yd
price was more than I wanted to pay for my needs.

This week, I did another Google and came up with Outdoor Textiles

They sell by the yard and the price break starts at +5 yards. 60"
for
5
yards is $17 and 5+ yard is $14.40. Similar prices for 46"
material..

My order was for 10 yds and there was no shipping charge.
