you may want to verify that the fabric will actually hold up for being outdoors. Some fabrics will fade quickly in the sun and some fabrics will become moldy so these are definitely two things to consider. The fabric types I would consider are Sunbrella, Outdura, Vinyl, and Spun Polyester. These have been created to withstand the harsh outdoors and are fade resistant. Then, I would use a water repellent spray, such as Scotch Guard to ensure the water-proofing of that fabric.
We are the manufacturer of a water repellent spray designed for outdoor fabrics that you can use to treat your existing fabric instead of replacing it. Use coupon code “yahoo” at checkout for 15% off of your order. Hope that answers your question.

Do you mean how to weatherproof the fabric? go to an Army Navy Store they sell fabric to do this.
