Maximize Durability: Best Materials for Outdoor Canvas Prints
At Canvas Art Plus, we take pride in the quality of materials used to create our Outdoor Canvas Prints. There’s no mystery when it comes to the craftsmanship behind each piece. Below is a detailed breakdown of the materials we use to ensure your art withstands outdoor conditions, while maintaining its beauty over time:
Weather-Resistant Canvas
Our outdoor canvas prints are meticulously crafted using a premium polyester-cotton blend, chosen for its durability and resilience in challenging weather conditions. This high-quality material is not only designed for strength but also treated to withstand a range of outdoor elements, ensuring that your artwork remains pristine despite exposure to the elements. The process begins with the selection of this superior canvas, which is engineered to resist damage from harsh conditions. Once the printing is complete, each canvas is subjected to a comprehensive finishing process that includes applying an additional protective layer. This crucial step enhances the canvas's resistance to wind, rain, snow, and prolonged sun exposure..
UV-Protective Coatings
To ensure the longevity of your print, we utilize UV pigment inks. These inks help protect the artwork from fading when exposed to direct sunlight, ensuring vibrant colors for years to come.
Water-Resistant Treatments
Our canvas is treated with a water-resistant coating that offers an extra layer of protection against moisture, making it ideal for outdoor environments exposed to rain or humidity.
Fade-Resistant Inks
We use fade-resistant inks that preserve the vibrancy of colors even in outdoor settings. Our inks are rated to last over 200 years indoors, and while outdoor exposure can vary depending on climate, you can expect your print to maintain its vividness for many years with minimal fading.
Durable Stretcher Bars
Our stretcher bars are crafted in-house from high-quality wood. To enhance their durability, we apply a proprietary organic preservative that makes the wood waterproof, insect-resistant, and warp-proof, ensuring your canvas remains securely stretched and looking perfect even in harsh weather conditions.
Outdoor-Grade Mounting Hardware
We include specialized galvanized brackets and hooks designed for outdoor use, ensuring your print is easy to hang and securely mounted. Additionally, stainless steel staples are used to attach the canvas to the weatherproof stretcher bars, providing added durability against rust and corrosion.
With these carefully chosen materials, our outdoor canvas prints are built to withstand the elements and retain their beauty, allowing you to display stunning art in any outdoor setting with confidence.

Please note that leaving any material including very high end exterior wall paint and the best car paint jobs available will fade over time - while these prints are the best in class available - they will fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Most of our prints are still hanging after 15 years of outdoor use and we continue to improve our weatherproofing methods.
