What are the best fabric weights (GSM) for durable outdoor bar stools?
When selecting fabric for outdoor bar stools, durability is key. The best fabric weights (measured in GSM—grams per square meter) typically range between 300-600 GSM for heavy-duty use. Fabrics in this range offer excellent resistance to wear, weather, and UV damage. For high-traffic areas, opt for 400+ GSM fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic or polyester blends, which resist fading and moisture. Lighter fabrics (below 300 GSM) may not withstand prolonged outdoor exposure. Always prioritize quality and weather-resistant materials to ensure long-lasting performance.
