What Is the Best Fabric for an Awning?

The best fabric for an awning depends on the job. For most homes, a standard acrylic such as Sunbrella, Tempotest or Dickson is the right pick.

Commercial awnings can use flame-retardant fabric where the building needs it.

Sunbrella Awning Fabric

Sunbrella awning fabric is a solution-dyed acrylic. The color runs all the way through each fiber, so it holds up to years of sun.

It's one of the most popular fabrics we use on patio, deck and porch awnings. It comes in solids and stripes.
