Awntex 160 NX8 36 x 16 Dark Brown Tweed is an awning and canopy fabric that has a 30 percent openness factor, blocking a high percent of the sun's harsh rays and helping keep you cool during those summer months; in addition, it is also water-repellant and fire-retardant, keeping you safe from both mildew and haphazardly discarded matches or cigarettes.
