I bought a yard of their "OTTERTEX® SOLUTION-DYED ACRYLIC WATERPROOF FABRIC."

I bought it to test it, to see if indeed it was water proof. I stretched over a 5 gallon bucket and put a few cups of water in it. It didn't take long before I could hear the water hitting the bottom of the bucket, maybe 5 minutes no more than that. it is soft and not as rigid as coastguard or Sunbrella. I did the same test with Sunbrella, after 10 minutes there no water coming through. Might be good for personal use, but I wouldn't make anything that's going to be sitting outside. Fade resistance, I don't know yet, water proof it is not.
