    By "enclosure," I take it you have transparent "isinglass" panels too.

    Sunbrella is the only material I would use. My boat has some pieces of
    that material I bought nearly 18 years ago when I bought the boat. I
    defy anybody to tell the difference in that stuff and some other
    five-year old Sunbrella I have. The stuff lasts forever and is color
    FAST!

    For color, their "Ocean" is the blue you see on most boats - very
    popular for very good reasons. It is probably warmer under it that say
    a white canvas, but the white tends to let UV rays through.

    For my enclosure's actual top, I ordered the vinyl-backed Sunbrella to
    make it more water-proof. The side curtains are constructed of regular
    Sunbrella and STRATAGLASS, which is a press-polished vinyl making its
    surface impervious to lots of things than ruin ordinary vinyl "glass."

    Sew all this together with GoreTex thread, and you are good to go.
