Our original cover was Sunbrella canvas and in a lighter red color. Over the years, it developed a number of unsightly black stains from mold and algae that begin to grow in the fabric. If they clean it, it weakens the fabric and lowers the water repellancy.
We just had our cover redone (1,000+ sq ft), and used a new vinyl covering they have as opposed to the Sunbrella. Same price, but no pores for mold or algae to adhere to, and 100% waterproof (unlike Sunbrella). I got the new cover in black. No difference in temperature from the lighter red throughout the summer, and it looks great. Hope that helps!
