Are these covers UV protected? Our Sunbrella cushions seem to fare ok, but the thread gets baked by the sun and breaks.

The covers survived snow and cold on our screened porch--and protected the furniture during an extreme Midwestern winter, but they aren't exposed to the sun, so I don't know about UV protection.

We have had our 2 covers for over a full year and they seem to keep the sun off the furniture in an excellent manner . We really like them and the job that they are doing as far as sun, rain, and snow.

They are not totally water repellant, but do not soak up the water. My cushions are on an outside covered patio and of course, when it rains, they do get sprayed and one gets more rain than others. I have had NO problem with the insides getting totally soaked and getting flat. They always look the same whether dry or somewhat water sprayed. The fabric is heavy duty and of an excellent quality. I am very pleased with mine.

They were good for the day as sunglasses.. Not sure if they have uv protection though.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

Fabric is sturdy to the sun...of course any excessive direct sunlight will eventually damage anything. The pillows are not rain proof, if u spill something on them it can be whisked away by hand or towel, but if left in the rain they will absorb lots of water I made the mistake of leaving it out in a down pour and the pillows had to be squeezed to remove all the water

None I saw but have had outside for a year in NC sun and rain. holding up well other than expected fading on cushions. Comes with a cover you can use if you stack them. survived poolside with grandkids so far :)

These can be an issue if you use them in the sunlight. Keep it clean and that helps. Should not be a problem if you are in the shade.

I don't know if they are UV protected material. They block out the sun great. On hot days we close them when the sun is the brightest most days we just leave them opened with the shear part hanging down and it works great keeping the sun out. Not sure about your sliding glass door question sorry.

All I know is that they will survive indoors. I'm having trouble with the bright sunlight here in New Mexico. I'm going to use shading cloth that blocks 30% sunlight and I hope that helps cause too much sun burns them.

Dear Janice I am no help I took a chance and it covered my patio chair beautifully I am in California we have had close to no rain but the little we had I noticed did not protect from water fully yet they are sturdy and keeps them protected from other outside elements.

I don't have an answer for you. Sorry. I live in Minnesota. I can say, this is the second year I have kept the cushions out all summer, under the covers and they look as good as new. So they are definitely waterproof. I wish I could help you more! Good luck

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.

In sunny south Florida the covers protect the furniture, for about a year. The covers will dry out, become stiff and tear.

I live in Orange County, CA (between LA and San Diego). They do not hold up under direct or indirect sunlight. Chairs under covered patio are OK, those that have any exposure to sunlight have fell apart after one year. Only buy these if you live in the polar regions of the country, or have them inside or covered at all times.

We use this on gourds that have pen drawings on them. I don't believe it has any real UV protection so protecting from sunlight will still be important. The colors have stayed true for 1.5 years.

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.
