Ottertex Canvas Fabric Waterproof Outdoor 60" Wide 600 Denier 15 Colors Sold by The Yard (1 Yard, Silver)

Heavy weight water proof canvas. Works well for bags, tents, and outdoor purposes. Sews best with a size 14 or 16 needle and polyester or nylon thread.

I’m in love with this fabric! It’s extremely high quality and is so easy to sew. I used a 90/14 sewing needle and had 0 issues throughout my project.I was a bit worried about fraying when I was contemplating buying this fabric, but I didn’t experience any fraying during my project at all! It cut super neat and clean.The product photos were also very accurate in color (I purchased light pink). Overall a very versatile fabric. I can’t wait to get it in more colors!!

Very nice heavy duty fabric! Beautiful color!

Ordered canvas to cover ottoman. Looks great!! Fabric was reasonably priced.

Fabric is a canvas material that’s had a coating applied to one side. It’s pretty stiff when delivered. Has a bit of weight and doesn’t stretch or tear easily. Cut just fine with my fabric scissors. My little sewing machine could only handle three layers (using canvas needles, swapping out as they dulled, 1.5 per project), had to hand stitch anything stacked thicker and use a stronger needle made for stitching sails. Waterproofing is decent on the canvas side and great on the other, just realize if you put holes in it water will pass through, like stitching pockets or seams.I made three projects with my 5 yards. A ground pad for camping (made a pocket, canvas side out and can slip in different pads as needed), a drop blanket for hunting/shooting and a hood.I Took the ground pad camping and canoeing on the South Edisto River in SC. It fell in the river once and floated till I caught it. All the water shed right off with a shake. Had rain encroach on the tent and underside was wet all night but I stayed dry on top, no seepage. Had to let the canvas side that was in constant contact with water air dry, but two hours of overcast and it was dry. Used the hammock another night in the swamps and even with fog stayed dry even though hammock had absorbed a lot of moisture. (Used the pad as a moisture/thermal barrier, hammock is just thin ripstop nylon.). Plus the canvas provided enough grip that I wasn’t constantly sliding into a ball all night.The drop cloth works great on damp ground, canvas absorbs light oils and keeps me comfortable while prone shooting or sitting on ground for extended periods. The coated side is what contacts the ground. Wipes dry, and hangs till next use.The material still too stiff to properly use for a hood. Doesn’t really gather properly when down, and doesn’t breathe, so not great. Kept the rain and wind off my head, but ended up sweating and still being wet.

This material is relatively thick which is perfect as I wanted to use it to make a replacement firepit cover. It has a waterproof backing on the back side and a thick canvas on the other. I am definitely not a seamstress and was a bit nervous about attempting this project since I havent used a sewing machine in 30 years. As a matter of fact I spent about 6 hours trying to get my seeing machine to work. It wasn't pleasant and lets just say there was cursing involved.It was ALL user error. The material was easy to work with once I figured out how to use the machine my grandma taught me on decades ago. It actually cuts very nicely. I was able to basically mark it and then slice through it with my scissors. It’s thick enough that I don't think it would tear easily and I can attest that it is predominantly waterproof. It has rained several times since I finished my project and I have gone outside to find water pooled on top of my fire pit cover creating a sort of bird bath. When removing the cover after the standing water there is a tiny bit if moisture. I will put a block of wood or something to pitch the cover slightly and encourage drainage.All in all I am very happy with the product. It is a nice material and reminds me of the type of material very expensive grill covers are made of. It’s almost identical in texture to my Traeger cover.

Tried a lot of different materials for embroidery projects by far this is the best for non fading and all kinds of weather. This is a Great durable material it would also be great for upholstery. Great buy at a reasonable price!!

Get the right thread, heavy duty needles and a couple cans of scotch guard! I am by far a seamstress, and have not done too many things with upholstery, but this worked great for the top of our humvee. We used electrical conduit to frame it, and I just have a regular sewing machine. There were a few places where we had to drill holes right through it and it kept its shape and didn't fray. I sewed 6 layers without a problem, but 7 is where it started jamming up. This material is great, and very heavy duty. It has been outside for a few months and is very dirty, but it has not faded in our Vegas desert sun yet. Despite the loose spots, it doesn't flap in the wind too much, but we don't go over 50 in this beast. It is different on the top and the bottom, so make sure that is ok for your projects. Worked great for mine!Compared to duck cloth.. .I did a similar project on a Ramcharger 10 years ago using Duck Cloth. It was much stronger/thicker, but Jamed up my machine more, and faded in out Vegas sun. The duck cloth was the same on both sides. We did scotch guard that once, 10 years ago. The Ottertex is way thinner and easier to work with in the sewing machine.
