Understanding Your Canopy Material

Your custom canopy is likely made from 600D Polyester, a durable fabric that’s water-resistant and UV-protected. But even the toughest materials need a little TLC (Tender Loving Care).

600D Polyester is the common fabric used for canopies. However, it’s best to double check yours as well. There are different fabrics used by different company based on their printing style. There are some who uses 900D (super thick!) Polyester for UV style printing. Some uses PVC and there are also some who uses 420D/500D Polyesters.
