Advantages:

Air pollution, sunlight (ultraviolet), natural dirt (bird droppings, sand, salt water) and household pollution (cooking stains, soda, wine, sunscreen) reduce the life of a tent. The properties of composite fabrics of cotton and polyester combination. The useful life reflects the proportions in which two materials are mixed.
