In our experience and after years of testing, we find that there is no polyester material currently available that retains its strength over time (after sun exposure) like Sunbrella. Some polyester fabrics may resist fading for a time, but strength and tear resistance after long periods of exposure can not equal Sunbrella. And if you need help finding a reputable awning dealer close to you, visit our Find A Dealer section at OutdoorSpaces.com. Sue R Hi Sandra,
