I heard this fabric was resistant to UV so I cut 1.5 squares of banner vinyl and used two pieces as reinforcements for the grommets I added. Otherwise the fabric would have frayed . I folded 8 inches or so down from the top to make it fit the size used it as a privacy screen for my chain link gate . Im going to use this on the ground but from what I can see, it_ pretty durable as long as you don_ fray it since it_ woven. Next time I cut some , I might melt the ends so they stay will be sturdy .
