Do you think they would have a fabric that is same or similar to Sunbrella fabric in the market?

I have a project and I need this type of fabric in Black color for outdoor use...

If you know the chinese name for sunbrella boat canvas I would appreciate that as well was the cost / meter or yd

I'll be at the market tomorrow and just figured I'd check it out

Sunbrella fabrics cannot be made in China, yet.

You can go to Peng Lai Market at Peng Lai Road, 蓬莱市场 they sell all types of fabrics there, from leather, plastics furs etc for furniture, canvas etc. As always bargain for a good price, they go by meters or by weight.

where exactly is that market?

you can buy sunbrella-like fabric here, but no one except Glen Raven (the manufacturer who makes it and is currently building a factory in Suzhou) can make SunBrella. Most likely you can find acrylic or nylon woven outdoor fabric, but you won't find one with the proper finish.

Intersect Zhong Hua road, and Peng Lai Road. Near Wen Miao Road. Most taxi drivers should know. Generally south of east Shanghai near Fuxing road. You can check at www.gsuo.com for the map

Good stuff, thanks guys

But if somebody wants to get sumbrella fabric here in Shanghai, Please PM me. I got the contact info.
