Our bottom row of siding is just above the deck surface, has a cable going through it, and has rotted.
Any decent fabric store sells outdoor fabrics like "sunbrella." Can be quite pricey - I would Google for a ready made replacement v. the cost of fabric and supplies to see which is more economical. If you do decide to make your own, use the current umbrella as a pattern. Or, you might just try to patch the holes and add embellishments so that it looks purposeful and not an after thought.
You can probably replace the umbrella for less than upholstering it.
Hello, Can they be patched or is the entire fabric decomposing? The suns rays do a number on my deck and fabric items too!
