It used to be the red, orange, yellows really faded, but I think they overcame that at the factory. I have the brighter Seagrass Green bimini/dodger, also. There aren't too many like that. Most Bennys have the Hunter green- or is it Forest? My bimini has lasted 10 years, but it's problems are more the stitching than the fabric itself. It has been on the boat year-round since the solar panels bolt through it. I have it here in the condo right now so I can restitch it during the heat wave going on.
