Different types of materials we used for outdoor furnishings:

Outdoor fabric is suited for patio furniture, outdoor pillows, and cushions. Printed outdoor fabric is colorful, value priced, and has 500-1000 light hours of UV resistance. Woven polyester and olefin outdoor fabrics are more durable, with some able to be used as drapery, and have 1000-1500 light hours of UV resistance. Acrylic outdoor fabric has the highest UV resistance, with 2+ years of UV protection, so is best for furniture that is hit hardest by the sun. Sling fabric is used to replace lawn and patio furniture backs or bottoms, and is very durable.

Textilene Fabric

Textilene fabric is woven polyester with a PVC coating. Used for sling seating, sun shades, and outdoor furniture, it is waterproof and fade resistant. In addition to those two ideal attributes, it's also mold resistant and flame retardant. Textilene is found at hardware stores and can be purchased by the yard.

Textilene mesh, as it is sometimes called, is clearly suited to the outdoors in terms of functionality and durability, but it does have a distinct polyester, plastic-y feel. So, if comfort is a bigger priority for you, do some touch tests before purchasing your roll of fabric.

Olefin Fiber

Also known as polypropylene, olefin fiber is a synthetic fiber. Olefin is ideal to use for cushion inserts, as well as for cushion covers. It can easily stand up to mold, heat, sun, and wet weather. Olefin is so hardy that it's often considered a plastic fabric.

Please note that due to monitor variances, the colors of the swatches you see below may differ from the actual fabric.
