What is the best type or brand of outdoor fabric…?

Im reupholstering four chairs and one lounge for my brick patio, the frames of the chairs are black … they might be cast iron. I have never done a project like this and need some advice!

You need Beacon Fabrics… good folks, good advice, good fabric (I’d probably use Sunbrella myself). http://beaconfabric.com/vindex.html

Buddy and Lydia ran a marine upholstery shop in Florida for many years — they’ve always been helpful with any questions I’ve had about their fabrics.

If the frames are actually cast iron, inspect carefully for evidence of rust and remove it and repaint before upholstering. With luck you’ve got aluminum (a magnet will tell the tale!)
