I have a gazeebo on my deck that will have seen its last summer. I am looking for fabric recommendations for a build of a new cover. The gazeebo is Hampton brand. I see john recommended Tenera or Solar Fix thread for 100% UV exposure. I just want to start planning my project to see what this will cost.

Check out Sunbrella at Sailrite. Com, that stuff is supposed to be tough and made for outdoors.

I'm a Sunbrella fan. Just because its what Ive used for years. Its basically the industry standard. However there are a ton of other out door canvas options available that are great options as well.

Sunbrella is also one of those things that gets re-branded like crazy here in the US. Sunbrella is made by Glen Raven INC. So basically any out door canvas you find made by Glen Raven is re-branded sunbrella.

@torriec Do you guys carry any canvas that comes out of the glen raven factory? Whats your opinion on the difference between Sunbrella and the Recacril Canvas?

Thanks for digging into this John. I only want to do this project once every few years.

Your welcome! By the way Sunbrella and most other outdoor canvas will last much longer than a few years. Especially is you treat it with 303 fabric guard and cleaner every once and a while.

@John We do not carry any Glen Raven canvas. We just carry Recacril, but honestly, we've done some research and the canvases are quite comparable, plus Recacril is less expensive!
