My white Sunbrella dodger only lasted six years before the seams started tearing out. It also has provided a petri dish for mildew. When I discussed re-sewing or replacing the dodger with the owner of a reputable canvas shop, he brought up the idea of using vinyl instead of sunbrella. My thoughts immediately went back to that shiny, sticky, hot/cold vinyl couch I had in the 70s, but he showed me a sample that had a surface that looked very similar to canvas, and had a very dull finish. He said that if I wanted to stick with the off-white color I have now that this would stand up better to U/V light and would not have the mildew problems I have with the Sunbrella.
Does anyone have any experience with a vinyl dodger? Do they get hot, stand up to the sunlight, have mildew problems or other issues.... and do they look as good as Sunbrella?
