Fabric recommendations needed for outdoor furniture covers
covers/fabric for patio furniture
Patio Furniture Cover that won't tear from the weight of snow or rain and waterproof.
Anyone use Sunbrella?
Are there any disadvantages of Sunbrella cushions?
How long does the Sunbrella fabric last, what makes it different?
What type of colors should be used for outdoor cushion covers?

I have been buying new furniture covers (literally to cover the outdoor grill set, or the club chairs) every year that do not last for longer than 1 year, and ultimately end up in the landfill.
It's incredibly wasteful and frustrating.
I've recently bought an industrial grade vinyl tarp and sewn covers out of that, and they started getting holes on them before I even put them on.
I'm curious to see what is the heaviest duty fabric people use for outdoor applications that would last at least multiple years. I'm not particularly looking for expensive designer fabrics that you'd use for outdoor upholstery, like Sunbrella. I'm sure those would be lovely but I'd rather get something that can withstand the elements than look good.
Another non-negotiable for me is the waterproofing.
As context, I'm located on the Northeast of US, Boston area.
thanks!
