Where can I buy Sunbrella fabric?

[Norman_E]

I need a new halyard bag for the mast. I have a Blue Performance bag, but it has been destroyed by exposure to the sun because its made of fabrics with poor UV resistance. First to fail were the straps holding it on, then the stuff its made of started to disintegrate. I need a source of supply of about a metre of Sunbrella or similar fabric to make a new bag.

Your local sailmaker may sell you what you need?

Most sailmakers can supply it, often from stock.

Yeah this is where I got my roll.

Try Kayospruce near Fareham

I have been using Sampson, instead of Sunbrella. Much cheaper and the lady who makes awnings says it lasts much longer, especially in black. Its 3 oz dacron saturated in PVC. I use it for sail covers, berth cushions ,windvane, etc.

Kayospruce in Fareham. If you go to the warehouse they often have offcuts / roll ends going cheap

Sunbrella is trademarked and only they can sell it all the others are fake usually with an added name. It is the longest lasting for UV damage. https://www.sunbrella.com/

Are you suggesting that Bainbridge Marine sells counterfeit Sunbrella simply because it doesn't appear on Sunbrella's official list of distributors?

You need to order through a Bainbridge dealer (probably most chandlers). Bainbridge is the distributor.

Anything added to Sunbrella means its a fake, from what I've seen all Sunbrella sold in the UK has an added name.

Heck, you're suspicious! The added names you've quoted are the colours. The stuff sold by Bainbridge in the UK is genuine Sunbrella.

This is absolute rubbish as I have told you before.

Sunbrella is widely available in the UK and Europe from the distributors shown. Just about every sailmaker or canvas worker uses it, or has access although many of course prefer competitors offerings.

Please stop this nonsense about "fakes" You are only displaying your ignorance and misleading people.

 

[KellysEye]

If people here believe it is genuine then go ahead and buy it, we bought it from America.

You have failed to establish what you call "fake", last time by confusing the the name of the European distributor which is a highly respected French company and now claiming that adding the colour name means they are fake.

You really do not have a clue what you are talking about. Sunbrella is widely available in the UK from distributors and sailmakers - as it is in Europe. I have bought in both Greece and UK without any problems. You do not have to buy in the US.

So, once again suggest you stop peddling this nonsense about "fake" Sunbrella - nobody believes you.
