How does this fabric hold up outdoors? Is it durable or weatherproof?

No, the fabric does not hold up. Mine lasted 6 months before it ripped along the edge and I had to throw it away. See the picture I posted. Krate.

Good morning, A.Peck. I apologize for the delayed response. Yes, the fabric will hold up outdoors. The seat is made out of nylon, which is durable and weatherproof. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - HearthSong Customer Service

No I don't think that it would hold up in the weather. It is like a heavy contact paper. Hope that helps you.

I had mine through winter and it held up well. I also washed it a lot though

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

This fabric is super durable! Its a bed for them when they are outside so that it's off the ground. They don't scratch at it, but when they run around chasing each other, the jumping and off of it pretty hard. It's been outside for months, in sun, in rain, and it's stool super strong.

It is very durable. I have it by my sink and it geta wet all the time with no problems. It hasn't stained ir faded so far. I avoid putting hot pans on it for fear of burning it. Hope this helps.

The fabric is synthetic, and not natural, such as cotton. The shade should withstand damp weather just fine, even with some direct rain. But, I would roll the shade up, when not needed, or during heavy blowing rain storms, just to add to its life. It might mildew over a long period of time. But, it should be generally ok with wet weather conditions.

I have washed and dried this a lot and it has had no problems still as good as new. I do try to hang it out side to dry when the weather is nice. so it has been washed a lot and dried in different ways and still holds up great.

Nice durable outdoor "linen", cleans easily and as lasted well. We do bring our cushions in overnight when it rains.

It is a thick waterproof fabric. I used it to cover outdoor furniture cushions.

The fabric is durable and insides are foam, though covers are zippable for easy washing. I do not leave the covers outdoors and my back porch is covered where the set is located. I adore it!

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

The material is fabric. We have not had it out in rain, do not know the level of waterproof. It is more sun proof than the original canopy.

I wanted to add to my last answer that the fabric is like one of those tarps they sell--if you look close at the fabric it has kind of a 'weave'. We think it's pretty sturdy and we always use some small bungee cords and wrap around the 4 legs to secure in the wind. It keeps water out real good and we only leave the swing out in the Spring, summer and fall months so the cover isn't used in the winter. Here in the northeast we get a lot of snow so we store the swing inside out porch at our camp.

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.
