It does fade in sunlight after a while. I haven't tested for loss of strength though.

The fabric is 100% polyester, a synthetic polymer. From wikipedia "Synthetic fibers (such as polyester) also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers, and are sometimes renamed so as to suggest their similarity or even superiority to natural fibers". While no material will be indestructible in sunny southern California forever, this material will hold up better compared to most other materials.

They are made of plastic and will fade with exposure to the sun. I hope this helped.

I'm not sure what kind of rope it is but it is very nice rope. I have used it for a year now and it has held up better and done better than some of my mammot ropes. The rope I got in this package was 10.0 mm which is what I like to do. But very nice rope. And the rest of the gear I am still using too after a year it is all nice and durable.

It has a UV coating on it but like anything, enough time in the sun will damage the outer coating. Wouldn't damage the line itself. 8 would recommend removing the hose when not in use. It does have a quick disconnect.

Only had it outside in the weather for about four months. Has not shown any fading is occurring. Fabric is a nylon material I think.

It's a nylon rope. My kids absolutely love this swing. We've had as many as 6 kids on it at one time.

I have used the wire in the past and now the rope. I like the rope because it does fray like the wire. So far so Good. I would recommend.

It says that Sunbrella fabric resists UV, fading, staining and mildew, whereas I'm guessing the cotton one doesn't since it's 100% cotton. I have the colorful cotton one and it is so soft and comfy, but I keep it mostly indoors.

From looking online at other suppliers of this TropiShade product, the material is called "sunbrella". I have only had the umbrella for a few weeks, so I don't know how the fabric withstands sun fading. The color now is very nice, a saturated vibrant rust color. They should indicate, and they don't, the led lights are not white, but a sort of deep yellow.

Compared to other similar items (swim time party island, 6' sun tan lounger) it is much sturdier plastic. It does NOT have a rope or any place to attach a rope. Not sure if this is important to you.

Not sure about this specific hot glue but other hot glues I've used outdoors before were not UV resistant and became brittle after a year or 2 of exposure to sun. Also hot glue used to join materials like wood that absorb water will not hold when the wood swells and softens. But It's great for joining plastics and about the only thing I know of that will securely bond polyethylene. Painting over it can alleviate the UV problem.

I purchased separately on Amazon. High temperature will work. The color on the rope is dark. I installed myself. Fits you'll have some left over. Hope this helps.

I have used them outside for about three months now, but they are not exposed to the sun constantly, nor are they in a dusty or dirty area that would interfere with the velcro hooks and loops. I would be wary of any black plastic in the sun, and no matter what the material it's made of, if you can't glom up your velcro with any kind of debris, it ain't gonna "velcro" any more. Good LucK.

Dear Judy R., Thank you for your question. We utilize 100% Polyester in all of our Pro Series netting. It is not affected by sun, rain, etc. This is also the case with our aluminum frame. The one thing that you will need to protect from the sun is the nylon sleeve. With extended periods of exposure to direct sunlight the sleeve will fade in color. To prevent this and protect the Nylon sleeve you can utilize a UV Spray (just on the sleeve) to protect it from color fade. You can learn more on our website. Hope that helps... All the best, Paul / The Net Return, LLC.

Hi, I got this for my son. After using it a week the center did have some broken fibers so we wrapped the center with duct tape. I am not complaining, the way the rope is used I kind of expected it to fray. Maybe in the future the company will wrap the center. Otherwise he was very happy with the rope - a good workout.

They appear to be made out of a nylon like fabric. They are pretty weather resistant, although after being outdoors all summer, my red one is starting to fade.
