Outdoor Fabrics


We have a range of outdoor fabrics available, including both cushion and curtain fabrics.  We have been having some fun and adding a bit of colour to RiverFront Airbnb accommodation in Huon Valley with both the iron and wooden outdoor furniture.

We have used outdoor cushion fabric from Dunlop fabrics, which is designed to expel water, unlike traditional foam fabrics,that soak up the water.  The fabrics are one of our outdoor range of fun colourful fabrics from Ricky Richards, manufactured in Italy. We tested them on the weekend in all the rain and found that in that they were completely dry the following morning having sat in the rain the following day.  So if you are looking for proper outdoor furniture foam and quality fabrics call in see the range.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_image_slider ids="13067,13068,13069,13070,13071,13072,13073"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
