Sunbrella Silica Charcoal 4897-0000 46-Inch Awning / Marine Fabric

Yes! Sunbrella Silica Charcoal 4897-0000 46-Inch Awning / Marine Fabric is available as shade fabric by the yard. Yardage is ideal when you need made-to-size cuts for outdoor shade builds like patio awnings, canopy panels, pergola covers, and custom shade panels. If you’re replacing fabric for an RV awning or umbrella canopy, confirm the attachment style and measurements first.

Sunbrella shade and awning fabric is built for outdoor exposure where UV, weather, and daily use matter. For awnings and fixed canopies, Sunbrella Silica Charcoal 4897-0000 46-Inch Awning / Marine Fabric stays stable under tension, holds its shape, and resists moisture without becoming heavy or sagging. The best fit depends on how you’re installing it, whether through a track or rail system, grommets, or other hardware. Wind exposure and how permanent the setup will be also play a role.

Start by brushing off loose dirt, then rinse the fabric to remove surface grime. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly so residue doesn’t attract more dirt. Let it air-dry completely before rolling or re-tensioning. Avoid strong solvents or harsh cleaners unless recommended in the Sunbrella Cleaning Guide for a specific fabric.

Most Sunbrella awning fabrics are covered by Sunbrella's 10-year limited warranty against fading and loss of strength from normal exposure to sunlight and weather when used as intended. Coverage can vary by Sunbrella fabric collection.
