What are the effects of repeated folding on canvas fabric durability in outdoor tree boxes?
Repeated folding can significantly impact the durability of canvas fabric used in outdoor tree boxes. Over time, constant bending and creasing weaken the fibers, leading to cracks, fraying, and reduced water resistance. Exposure to weather conditions like UV rays and moisture accelerates this degradation. High-quality, tightly woven canvas with reinforced stitching resists wear better, but frequent folding still shortens its lifespan. Proper storage and minimizing unnecessary folding can help preserve the fabric's strength and functionality for longer-term outdoor use.
