I had been looking for the right umbrella for our back patio, I wanted a fabric that is durable and can stand any weather, I wasn’t sure what sunbrella fabric was but I made my  research  and found out that this is the same fabric they use for boats, I was sold. It didn’t diassapoint when I received it, we have been using it for almost a month now and we closed the umbrella every night and we have no complaints. I’m thinking of ordering another one to cover the other side of our patio.
