Marine Vinyl Graphite, Fabric by the Yard

After our dog chewed up the seat of our Polaris Ranger, we found out the repair was going to cost $200 at a local upholstery shop. We decided to find the materials and repair it ourselves. The repair shop uses marine vinyl, so that's what we looked for. We were surprised at how inexpensive the fabric was. We purchased two yards of it and also purchased a long piece of upholstery foam to perform the repair. I had read other reviews that said the folding of the marine vinyl for shipping had caused it to stick together, but we did not have this issue. It was in perfect shape and when it was unfolded, there was no damage at the creases. It was in excellent shape. We had to do a bit of cutting and sewing to get the right size for our seat, but the fabric went through my sewing machine with ease. We placed the fabric over the foam positioned on the seat frame and stapled the fabric underneath it. There is a slight bit of give to the fabric, but not much. When we were finished, the seat looked professional. I mean, this stuff looks GOOD. I would definitely recommend it for projects such as this. I'm very satisfied with it. It's a great product and very inexpensive!

Product worked great. No complaints about the quality or the price. The delivery is what was HORRIBLE. The tracking was basically a pick date and nothing more. The delivery date was changed after ordering it. The day it was to arrive, I got a delay notice. They day it was delivered I got a notification at like 1:30 am that it was delivered. It was not. Once it was delivered (4pm on another day) it says it was LEFT in the mailbox. This comes in a huge 5 foot box!!! Which is a good thing cause it was left on the porch, hanging half off in the snow. Product is fine, delivery is VERY crappy. They need to use another method. Days late and Amazon Chat/reps (can’t or won’t )help you at all with tracking. They pass the buck. Amazon Reps have been so unhelpful and rude lately. Hopefully Amazon will get nicer people with better skills at understanding and conveying information. The Amazon “help” was just as bad as the delivery service used for the product.

In reading reviews about this product and in writing my own review, I think it's important that people take into consideration the price of this fabric, and have realistic expectations of what they're buying.If you want a waterproof, fade resistant fabric that will last 10 years, look up Sunbrella Seamark. Arguably, some of the best made fabric out there. And it will set you back $41.95 plus shipping per yard.By comparison this is less than nine dollars yard or 1/5th the price. I live in Alaska, and ordered 2 yards of this product. It was shipped to me on a roll, and sent via UPS two day air via Amazon's excellent Prime service. The shipping exceeded the cost of the material. So in essence the product was free to me. Thank you Amazon!The fabric arrived in perfect condition, no seams as it came on a roll. This is a marine grade vinyl and it has a certain amount of stretch to it. Pretty much every vinyl does by design. It is a waterproof material. I have no doubt in five years time sitting out in the sun it'll be completely faded. I would be surprised if it didn't.You can put some Aerospace 303 UV protection on it to help, but folks this is nine dollars a yard fabric. I think it represents an outstanding value for the price, and I certainly would not hesitate to buy again based on what I'm seeing.There are plenty of other fabrics out there that are better, but not as this price. Again, I think it represents an outstanding value for the price. If you want something that's gonna last for the next 10 years then buy Sunbrella--plenty of color available. . Otherwise, I think we should praise this product for what it is, and what an outstanding value it represents.

Ordered on a Tuesday and package arrived a week later, not bad for free ground shipping. My order was for four yards, and it arrived rolled on a tube and covered in corrugated cardboard. There were a few rips in the covering, but the vinyl was rolled rough side out and no damage was done.I recovered the bench seat on a Kubota RTV900, and this material looks very nice. It's a bit darker than the original, but much thicker. I found it had plenty of stretch when I was installing it, so it was easy to get the wrinkles to smooth out. The actual color is more blue than that shown on my screen, but it didn't matter at all to me. Cut the old cover apart at the seams and used it as a pattern for the new one. I'd never done anything like this before, and I was surprised how well it went. Used a fine Sharpie marker on the back side to mark the cut and stitch lines, and a pair of sharp sewing scissors to cut it out. Not difficult at all. I have an old Consew industrial sewing machine purchased off Craig's List years ago, and it went through the vinyl with no problem at all.Plasstek Fabricks filled the order quickly and accurately, and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.Four stars only because I want to see how the material holds up to the sun and rain. Otherwise, the vinyl was better than I expected.

Good product. Worked very well as weight bench upholstery. Not too slippery or tacky. Very happy with this material

Nice product, fast shipping

very good product .I recommend !

Took over 2 months to arrive.It's a bit stretchy. Used it to recover motorcycle seat, worked and looked great !I ran a wee bit short to do a backrest, so checked out local fabric shop. They had an exact looking material, not stretchy, but was able to finish the job. For less money !

Easy to work with. Just bit too light duty for my application. Re upholstered an ATV seat and surface of material started to tear before even got the seat back on. Good texture, not too slick otherwise. Would be great for benches or chairs. Time will tell if it holds up to the elements.
