They are fibbing to you. Our cost for Sunbrella is quite a bit
less than $12/yd, and I'm sure we don't buy as much as North does.
We are starting to do alot of work in Stamoid which costs a bit more
but is more durable than Sunbrella. It is a vinyl type fabric though.

For the other poster concerned about the type; this site advertises
using
the Sunbrella logo and lists all that product by the the standard color
numbers that I find on the actual Sunbrella site.

Ya do gotta watch out. I got convinced into buying what was "Dyklon"
once and although it held up for a coupla years, it is definitely
dying now while the Sunbrella stuff is still holding up.

I just buy Sunbrella at North Sails at their cost, 12 bucks a yard or
so.
