Is this UV / Weather resistent?

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 was asked to say something about the product. i have not used the elastic cord outside ,so we both don't know the answer .

I have three that were installed about 15 years ago. Stood up to UV fine, but a severe hell storm took them out last year. Had to replace roof as well.

The product is sealed as it is weather resistant. I had no issues with my speakeI would suggest you check the connection

I have a painting that has been outside 5 years and there is no rust or change in the wire. It is a somewhat protected area, no rain..slight sun. I have used this wire that long and would use nothing else. Susan

The cover of mine is UV protected. After one year of full sun it is as good as the day I purchased it last Spring.

It seems rather more like paint than like stain so it might be worth a try but I have no idea about how weather resistant it would be.

Considering that if it was UV rated they would brag about it I would say no! the outside protection does not seem heavy or thick such as UV rated electrical wire. Plan on interior or conduit for this!

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

Sorry, couldn't tell you. I have them inside my house. They don't appear to be weather resistant.

No it is not weather resistant. Indoor/Office use only. Very thin metal. Does not have a tight seal.

Mine did over the summer. I really noticed it when I bough new ones for my patio furniture. But I also live a 7000 feet where UVs are high The material though has held up through high winds, hail and sun.

No the unit is not designed to be weather resistant. You could however easily run an electric wire to up a 4x4 pressure treated post to an exterior outlet then mount the unit to the post and plug it in. Then make a weather proof enclosure around the outlet and the unit to make a weatherproof. Run your low voltage wires from the float/switch up the post to the unit and poof; problem solved! Good luck!

I used it for an outdoor potting bench, even though it's labeled for indoor use. So far there doesn't seem to be a problem, no peeling or anything, and it's been well over a year in the AZ sun. I couldn't tell you if it's actually UV resistant though.....

This is resistant, but not rainproof. Basically used as a sunshade to keep the sun out. Definitely worth the $$$

I haven't had a problem with UV damage and it's exposed to the strong So. Cal. sun all year round. My problem has been slight stress cracks from the weight of the water. I had a crack almost immediately after installation and Spalding sent me a free replacement. Now three years later I have a slight leak again. I would suggest filling with sand so leaks won't be an issue.

The outside button seems to be weather resistant. My porch is covered, but it gets wet periodically. It is all solid state, so I think you'll be OK.
