Waterproof Fabric by the Yard 600d Cordura Canvas 58 in Wide Teal

Our review of the Teal Green waterproof Cordura fabric focuses on outdoor makers and DIY upholsterers who need a tough, weather-ready textile by the yard. The bottom line: this 600d polyester Cordura canvas is an excellent choice when durability and water repellency matter, offering a 58 in width that reduces seams on wide cushions and covers. It is sold by the yard in 36 in increments and feels noticeably robust for projects that see heavy use, while remaining light enough to handle and sew at home.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty construction: 600d weave with 78t delivers abrasion and tear resistance for long-lasting outdoor use.
• Water repellent finish: The Oxford-style treatment sheds water so cushions and covers dry faster and resist light rain.
• Wide 58 in width: Allows larger pieces to be cut with fewer seams, ideal for patio sofas and lounge cushions.
• Lightweight yet strong: At about 6.5 oz per yard the fabric is easy to handle and sew while still providing substantial strength.
• UV resistance and colorfast dyes: Reactive printing and green dyes help maintain vibrant color outdoors with less fading.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for upholstery, cushion covers, backpacks, camping gear and protective covers.

Who It's For

This fabric suits hobby sewers, upholstery hobbyists, and small-batch makers who repair or build outdoor furniture, cushions, and protective covers. The 58 in width and sturdy 600d construction are especially useful for projects that require fewer seams and a fabric that withstands abrasion.

It may be less suitable for delicate indoor drapery or garments that require a soft, flowing hand; those seeking a plush indoor upholstery textile or continuous roll for industrial sewing should consider alternatives. Skill with a heavy-duty needle and appropriate sewing equipment will produce the best results.
