How is fabric weight measured for outdoor rectangular table applications?
Fabric weight is a critical factor in determining the durability and performance of outdoor rectangular table covers. It is typically measured in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces per square yard (oz/yd²). For outdoor applications, heavier fabrics, usually ranging from 200 to 600 GSM, are preferred due to their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and frequent use. The measurement process involves cutting a fabric sample of a specific size, weighing it, and calculating the weight per unit area. This ensures the fabric meets industry standards for outdoor use, providing long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal for rectangular tables in various settings.
