Man outdoor fabric is SPENDY! I just spent the afternoon driving all over creation looking for UV protected, outdoor fabric because the curtains you see all over the internet are insanely expensive. I could have easily spent over five hundred dollars on curtains. That's redonculous. So, I'm thinking I'm just going to get some sturdy white fabric and treat it with uv protectant/marine fabric spray. The stuff comes with raving reviews so I think I'll give it a shot. After all, once I make the arbor shade myself, I'll know how to and worse case scenario, I'll have to make another one some day. Can't wait to get this project finished...
