Sunbrella® Rain Waterproof Fabric

Sunbrella Rain fabric offers waterproof performance for outdoor seating exposed to frequent rain or moisture. These fabrics maintain a similar look and feel to standard upholstery while adding enhanced water resistance. For most outdoor cushion applications, Sunbrella upholstery fabric remains the primary choice, but Sunbrella Rain is ideal when waterproof performance is required. This collection includes fabrics used in specialized cushion fabrication, exclusive to Patio Lane.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sunbrella Rain and regular Sunbrella fabric?

Standard Sunbrella outdoor fabric is water-resistant and breathable. Sunbrella Rain adds a waterproof backing for greater protection in outdoor spaces regularly exposed to rain and moisture.

Can Sunbrella Rain fabric help outdoor cushions dry faster after rain?

Sunbrella Rain helps keep water from entering through the fabric, while proper cushion construction and EZ Dry foam help manage any moisture that enters through seams or openings.



What is Sunbrella Rain waterproof fabric best used for?

Sunbrella Rain is ideal for outdoor cushions and upholstery exposed to rain or frequent moisture, including poolside seating, patio furniture, lounge chairs, benches, and other uncovered outdoor seating.

Does Sunbrella Rain fabric make an outdoor cushion completely waterproof?

No. While the fabric itself is waterproof, sewing creates small openings where some water intrusion can occur. Specialized cushion construction helps significantly reduce the amount of moisture that can enter the finished cushion.

How are Patio Lane Sunbrella Rain cushions constructed differently?

Our Rain cushions use specialized construction designed to reduce water intrusion, including self-swelling Aqua Seal thread that helps seal stitch holes, moisture venting, and an internal moisture-protection system.

What color options are available in Sunbrella RAIN waterproof fabric?

Sunbrella Rain comes in a curated selection of versatile solid colors that pair timeless style with waterproof performance.

What type of foam is recommended for cushions made with Sunbrella Rain?

Patio Lane recommends EZ Dry foam for Sunbrella Rain cushions. If moisture does enter through a seam or opening, the open-cell foam helps to allow water to drain and the cushion to dry more quickly. It is the most firm foam that we currently offer.

Can Sunbrella Rain be used for outdoor furniture that stays uncovered?

Yes. Sunbrella Rain is particularly well suited for exposed outdoor furniture where rain and moisture are regular concerns. Proper cushion construction is important for achieving the best moisture-management performance.

Can I add welt or piping to a Sunbrella Rain cushion?

No. Patio Lane does not offer welt on Sunbrella Rain cushions because it can encourage moisture to wick into surrounding fabric areas and reduce the effectiveness of the specialized Rain construction.

Is Sunbrella Rain also resistant to fading, stains, mold, and mildew?

Yes. Sunbrella Rain combines waterproof performance with the durability expected from Sunbrella, including resistance to UV exposure, stains, mold, and mildew.
