Question:
I'm planning on reupholstering my pontoon boat this year and I'm
starting to research what fabric to use.
It'd be cool to get away from vinyl. Something more clothlike would be
nicer to sit on.
I need something that'll stand up to the water and also the Arizona
sun. Sun is my biggest concern. There will be wet butts on the seats,
but somehow I think the Sun will be my worst enemy.
I was checking out some of the Sunbrella fabrics used for outdoor
furniture. Has anyone tried using this on a boat?
Any other recommendations for upholstery?
Answer:
I used sunbrella to reupholster the seatbacks on my sailboat. Works great,
the stuff is nearly indestructable. Sat in the direct sun every day, washed
down with TSP and bleach regularly, and didn't seem to fade at all. Just
make sure you pick a patern you like, it will be around for a long time.
