What are the effects of prolonged shade exposure on canvas outdoor loungers?
Prolonged shade exposure can significantly impact the durability and appearance of canvas outdoor loungers. While shade protects against direct UV rays, it may also lead to moisture retention, promoting mold or mildew growth if the fabric isn’t breathable or treated. Over time, uneven fading can occur, as shaded areas may retain color longer than sun-exposed sections. Additionally, prolonged dampness in shaded environments may weaken the canvas fibers, reducing lifespan. To mitigate these effects, opt for weather-resistant, UV-protected canvas and ensure proper ventilation or occasional sun exposure to prevent moisture buildup. Regular cleaning and protective treatments can also extend the lounger’s longevity.
