[Bob Schmeckpeper]

Getting a new awning. What are your preferences on fabric?  Vinyl or acrylic. 

Thank you.

I got a new awning from lippert, with electric arm. I  believe is vinyl.

In less of a year the colors faded, the roller is not straight ( normal for them) and the pivot arms broke three times.

Whatever you do, stay away from lippert, garbage

Chris Throgmartin, from Stone Vos Inc & Talin RV, recommends vinyl for small slide toppers and their acriylic fabric for large patio awnings.

Check out the Stone Vos web site to see the difference.

No matter what always use sunbrella 

it is what is used for boat Biminis and such and is designed to hold up in the sun

Would highly recommend contacting Stone Vos also. They will not steer you wrong.

Had toppers (3) done by Stone Vos 3 years ago. Just had 3 window awnings and patio awning done last week. I had them install since we're an hour away but they will ship.

They made slide toppers for me and they are a woven vinyl product. It is very rugged. Seems to be reinforced with something

It is called Migliore and is the world's premier vinyl. Stone Vos uses nothing but the best products including a thread that is guaranteed for life. Plus they do double stitching which you won't find in most other vendors. Their product guarantee is the best in the country. No one can compete with their products, workmanship and guarantee.
