• Durability
• Usage
• Fading
• Water and Mildew Resistance
• Cleaning and Maintenance

Durability

• When you search for a fabric for your upholstery,
  make sure it is strong enough to handle the
  stress of your weight.
• Certain outdoor furniture materials last for
  years with proper care and ideal weather
  conditions.
• However, you will need to change them once they
  are exposed to extreme weather. Others can handle
  a wide range of elements and continue to look new
  for a lifetime.

Usage

• Another essential tip to keep in mind while
  buying fabrics for outdoor furniture is the
  frequency of use.
• If you use your patio furniture only a few times
  throughout the season, then the wear and tear
  will be much lesser.
• The more frequently you plan to use the outdoor
  furniture, the more durable material you need to
  purchase. 

6
Fading

• Most fabrics exposed to sunlight and outdoor
  weather conditions fade over time. Therefore, opt
  for colours and patterns accordingly.
• If you choose cushions and upholstery in black,
  navy blue or other dark colours, they will fade
  sooner as compared to light colours. 

7
Water and Mildew Resistance

• Outdoor fabrics need a protective coating so that
  they can repel or resist moisture, mildew, mould,
  and water.
• A majority of fabrics available in the market are
  water repellent. These have a different finish
  guaranteeing their ability to resist water and
  moisture. 

8
Cleaning and Maintenance

• Patio furniture is constantly exposed to the
  wind, dust, storm, rain, sun and other outdoor
  conditions. This increases the chances of it
  getting dirty.
• The fabric you choose for your outdoor furniture
  must be easy to clean and maintain. It shouldnt
  require a tedious hand-washing or dry cleaning
  procedure.
