Is the fabric UV resistant? How does it last if you own it?

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.

I do not know if it is UV resistant, mine hasn't changed color. I do know that with a weighted base, over 50 pounds, it will withstand winds to 25 or 30 MPH

Forgot one answer, I have had for only one year. Still looks and works great.

I doubt it has UV resistance. Of course I don't know for sure, but putting any clear plastic in front of direct sunlight for long periods of time will probably make it turn yellow.

Ditto. I have had mine for 2 years as well. 2 soaking wet winters and 2 beautiful summers exposed to sunlight and, it is holding up great. Very durable for an inexpensive cover.

Yes but it has no UV protection so how long is it going to last..not very long.

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

I would say it is water resistant. But not water proof. I have mine in the garage and so can't speak with authority, but I feel the material would not hold up well to ambient UV.

Sure, but if it rains, you will get wet. Also, I don't known if its fabric has UVA/UVB protection.

It's a material that wouldn't really be needed to be taken apart and machine washed. I can't see it holding much in the fabric. I've literally hosed it off in the driveway and left it on the porch in the sun to bake and dry. We've had ours for two summers, we hike religiously with it, and no funky smells or anything. Even had a potty training accident in it once.

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

I don't see any fading at all and I've had it for a while. I live in Alaska so we have 20 hours of bright sunlight in the summer. I can also tell you that it does just as well in the winter. No cracking in the extreme cold and it still looks as good as when I bought it.

I live in central OH and purchased the chair cover in early summer this year, so can speak for only a few month's summer use. My cover sits under open sky and gets sun from late morning on, so it gets all precipitation and nearly all sun. It seems completely waterproof, and I've not seen any cracking. The fabric is substantial and flexible -- more like canvas than thin plastic. I like to remove and replace the cover quickly, so I don't take time to cinch the bottom edge, so if it rains the chair feet get a little wet, but the rest of the chairs are dry and ready to use. Of course, being open at the bottom, the cover can't keep out atmospheric moisture, but in my situation that isn't a concern (my chair frames are aluminum, not steel). The cover has faded a bit, but that's inevitable and I actually prefer the lighter appearance. I am very pleased with the cover thus far and expect it will last several years. Hope that helps.

Hi Kkrome. I would say a long, long time. All you do is rinse it off when it gets too dirty. It is a fabric of some sort. Make sure you let it dry out thoroughly before you use it again. I have only had mine a couple months.

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

I have had my awning since March over a doorway facing west at the Beach with very brutal, direct afternoon sun everyday. I see no visible signs of fading - I love this awning and for the price, I think it's a good buy. Hope this helps.

It's a heavy duty fabric and I expect that it will last for several years under bark mulch. That being said, I've only had it installed for about a year now. So I cannot give you any first hand long term info.

Mine are outside, but on a covered porch. I've had them for 1 summer and they have held up well, but have not been directly in the sun or weather. The front seems to be a sturdy outdoor fabric, but the back is a softer fabric so may not fare well in harsh conditions.
