Record fiber composition in % by fiber, fabric construction, yarn count where relevant, GSM in g/m², and usable width in cm or inches. Separate selvage from cutting width. A name such as outdoor polyester does not establish the coating, weave or finished weight.
Distinguish intermittent rain, standing water, sunlight and repeated cleaning. Ask the proposed supplier to identify the water test basis, breathability basis, UV requirement and finish. Performance evidence must identify the exact article, method, edition, specimen condition and agreed threshold.
State meters, yards or rolls per color and total. Request minimum order quantities, sampling costs, lab dip or strike-off stages and a bulk dye lot policy. A stock swatch helps shortlist materials; it does not approve the final production lot.
Ask each quotation to separate material, sample, testing, packaging and transport charges. Include the US destination and delivery basis. A narrower low-price roll can yield fewer usable panels, so compare cutting yield alongside the headline unit price.
Start with sunlight exposure, color approval, usable width and seam plans. Specify the relevant lightfastness or weathering assessment rather than assuming a color brochure represents installed durability.
Balance hand feel, abrasion resistance and cleaning conditions. Ask whether backing or coating changes drape, cutting and sewing. Compare stock programs with custom finishing before committing to minimums.
Separate fabric hydrostatic pressure requirements from seam leakage and finished-product design. Identify tear strength, folding conditions and coating orientation in the supplier brief.
Send the intended use, composition, construction, weight, usable width, quantity, US destination and sampling schedule. Optional budget and supplier preferences help compare alternatives; exact price, availability and timing remain open until confirmed.
