Sling material is a good choice for canoes because it dries quickly, is easy to clean, and is strong enough to support your weight. Sling materials are also mildew, UV and fade resistant so they will stay strong and beautiful even after a lot of use out on the water.
If you want to keep the look of your canoe more traditional, select a neutral sling like Textilene® Sunsure Birch Forest (#123339), which can mimic the coloring of a cane seat. Or go for a fun modern twist and use a bold color, like the bright orange Phifertex® Plus Snappy (#3013965).
In this video you will learn how to take out your canoe seat, remove the old webbing and replace it with a mesh sling material.
