Description

This strong woven polyester fabric is PU coated to help repel moisture and provide added protection from the elements. With a weight of around 440gsm it has a firm structure suited to hard wearing projects.

Purple offers a more distinctive colour option for covers, bags, awnings and storage projects.

The fabric also meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.

Please note: this material is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. It will repel light rain but should not be left exposed to heavy or prolonged weather conditions.

Because of the heavy weight, orders over 4.5 metres may require a higher delivery charge. This fabric can mark when folded, so some customers prefer it sent on a roll.

This fabric is available in a number of different shades, click here to see all the colours.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
