95 inch back door sliding glass door. Part IV. (continued from Part III here)
I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a BIT of buyer’s remorse after hastily purchasing that second fabric. The two fabrics also could have not been MORE polar opposite if I had purposely searched so.
The first was so sleek and modern, the second so straight-out-of-the-Flintstones-era.
The first just melted between your fingers… whereas the second folds similar to how you would fold a lawn chair.
Of course I realize all of this long after I’ve arrived home and settled in for the night, receipts retired to trash cans, materials ripped open and ready to use. Basically NOT RETURNABLE.
Committed to this newfangled fabric, I thought maybe knowing more about it would help justify my purchase and help the cool factor as curtains. Maybe having weird material for curtains was actually super chic and trendy. I was curious to find out what “Duck Canvas” was used for… maybe I could fling it out at the next lull in a dinner party conversation. “You know, my curtains are made of the same kind of fabric the Mayans used for their traditional garb, as they believed Duck Canvas was only fitted for Gods and Other-Worldlies… as they believed Ducks were the incarnated form of Super-Beings. Just a fun fact. Cool huh?”
I guess I wasn’t all that unfortunately surprised when Google told me that a common use for this fabric is sand bags and large boat covers.
I might add it should also be noted as fantastic shielding material during nuclear warfare. No light or debris can penetrate it. So actually, I was keeping the safety of my real estate investment in mind when purchasing this material for curtains. You never know when that warfare is just around the block.
Part V up next…
