Where to buy sunbrella (or non brand equivalent)

[Whitelighter]

My mum is a dab hand at upholstery (she used to do our sailing boats etc) so I can get my external cushions redone if I can buy the material.

Where is the best place to get either Sunbrella or a sunbrella equivalent.
What sort of cost should I expect per yard (or whatever).

It is sold by the linear metre and is about 1.4 or 1.6 wide

I got some from mj for £25 per linear metre but in palma my man buys it for e21 a meter so I guess £20 ish if you haggle. I would get the real stuff. Uv fading etc. Not worth it.

Sanders Sails, who I trust not to use something inferior, use, or used, Solacryl instead of Sunbrella. Sprayhood they made for me is now over 5 years old and up all year round. Fabric is still fine, though I’ll have to do a bit of restitching this year. I got a quote of £18.77 a linear metre incl. vat for Solacryl this winter from Greenwich Seaworks, who I have bought from before. Afraid I don’t have contact details to hand, but google should do it.

not in the colours I want or in sufficient quantity or local - mostly the US or Far east

Another vote for https://www.profabrics.co.uk/ . I've been using them for some years now for their acrylic canvas. Made various projects including a stack pack for the mainsail and a cover for my brother's narrowboat. Stand up well to sunlight with no fading over the years.

Hi Jez,

A couple of years ago I covered my FB sun deck cushions on my F43 (only a few boats away from you now....) and bought the Sunbrella I wanted at a good price from:

Not sure if it was an 'end-of-line' deal, but may be worth giving them a call.

Thanks John.

Yep your boat forms part of the long walk back from the bar, and accounts for several list hours...
