We bought this in the fall to cover our patio table, chairs and bench (they all fit underneath) in a fenced yard. Within a few months, the binding and ties that keep it secure had begun to rip. We had to buy a new one for the table and repurposed this to cover bikes and we've noticed that large holes have appeared throughout the fabric. It's almost as though it's disintegrating. This shouldn't be happening after only a year.
