Boat Dock Cover
by: Tammy

If you want to try one heck of a tough fabric for your boat dock canopy, you might try Breakwater X. It’s a very high performance fabric with a 10 year warranty. A bit pricy, but worth it. It only comes in white and off white.

Another good choice is Stamoid Top with a 5 year warranty, available in a variety of colors. Stamoid also has an awesome new fabric just hitting the market called Stamoid Smart 2. It’s Silcone with a 10 year warranty. It will stay clean for a long time, since stuff doesn’t stick to it. It is expensive, but if you have the budget, it’s another terriffic choice for longevity.
When you prorate the time you get out of the more expensive fabrics, I see it as worth it.

Weblon Regatta is another good choice and is used on a host of awning applications and in lot’s of colors. It has a 5 year warranty.

I would skip acrylics such as sunbrella. They eventually allow water through and may wear on weld points.

That group would be my picks for that application.
Hope that helps.
Tammy
