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 https://outdoortextiles.securedigita...766eac5ae165cb 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. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

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.

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.

If you are real patient you can get some bargains on bolt ends on eBay.
I picked up 30 yards of 60" Pacific Blue for $6/yd. That is the most popular color. Other colors go for as little as $3/yd.

Yah! I been watching for Pacific Blue #4601 or #6001 on eBay, but I must
have missed out on that one.. Most of the colors I have seen are those odd colors, like Burgundy, etc. I'm kinda committed to the Pacific Blue because I had several yards of it already and I made the sleeve for the furled head sail already.. So far this price is the best I have found for what I need and the fact that their minimum order is low and free shipping.. 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.

is indeed a Sunbrella for interior use (sorry, my mistake) it is lighter weight and no waterproofing hense the softer hand. She isn't sure if it has the UV treatment. We don't use it much.

The Goddess of Canvas says that the recommended technique is
to use a mild detergent with just a tiny bit of bleach in it and go after it with a soft brush. In some cases it may remove the waterproofing depending upon the age of the Sunbrella etc, so you may have to treat it with 303 or Aqua-Tite to restore the waterproofing. The bad side of that is once you start treating it, you usually have to do it every season. We sent our bimini and transition piece to an outfit that cleans and restores the UV and waterproofing. Not cheap but it's better than anything that you can do yourself. Doug s/v Callista "Jay" wrote in message ...

Hey, hey! Our whole boat is done in Burgundy. Pacific Blue is falling
out of favor around here (know popularly as Boat Blue). Captain Navy has been most popular color around here for the last few years, with burgundy, tan, and green close behind. Doug s/v Callista "Steve" wrote in message ... Yah! I been watching for Pacific Blue #4601 or #6001 on eBay, but I must have missed out on that one.. Most of the colors I have seen are those odd colors, like Burgundy, etc. I'm kinda committed to the Pacific Blue because I had several yards of it already and I made the sleeve for the furled head sail already.. So far this price is the best I have found for what I need and the fact that their minimum order is low and free shipping..

Captain Navy has been most popular color around here for the last few years, with burgundy, tan, and green close behind. Doug s/v Callista Our boat is in the color known as Black Cherry in the catalogs, which is maroon or burgundy. That's because we have a maroon stripe. I don't care for the tan. I like the aqua and that would be my choice maybe if we didn't have a boat with a red type stripe. I totally hate black because it becomes a rusty brown, and I don't like brown either. We used regular damask (double woven) upholstery fabric which we got from a place that was going out of business to do the cushions inside the boat. This is not a shiny satiny fabric - it's a very tough fabric with a double woven design in it. I see no reason to pay for Sunbrella for that - indoor or outdoor. We used plastic like fabric on the backsides because it was significantly cheaper, and that's the way the original cushions were done. (The original cushions were IMHO a horrible tweed) We also bought Sunbrella at this place which was bolt ends and seconds, and have used it for things like hatch covers, winch covers, dinghy motor covers etc where the fact that the waterproofing isn't as reliable doesn't matter as much. When we had the bimini made, it was made of Stamoid and we like it very much although all the needle holes tend to leak, so you can't make mistakes sewing it up. I asked whether I could have a light colored bimini to reflect the sun and was told that I should not do that because it would get dirty and the dark colors were cooler anyway. I totally don't believe that dark colors are cooler, and the Stamoid is easy to wash off. I think the Sunbrella people tell folks that the dark colors are better for biminis, but I read somewhere that dark colors protect better against UV for the sail covers and the edges of the furling headsails etc, so maybe that's what they are talking about.

We'll have to check that out. We don;t have much call
for Sunbrella type fabrics inside. We did just do some curtains out of the interior Sunbrella recently. Doug s/v Callista "Ghoti" wrote in message . com...

Sorry Rosie. I stand by my emperical experience. I have been in
raftups during very hot summer days. Moving between a boat with black canvas, burgundy (ours), boat blue, and cadet gray (pretty light). I could not tell any difference. Not to say that there was not any, but I couldn;t feel any.
