How do they stand up to outdoor use. Are they made with UV plastics?

It depends on the outdoor usage. In an area with cold winters, ours ended up with cracked lids. Rubbermaid sent coupons to fulfill the warranty as they don't make replacement lids. Sunlight didn't seem to adversely effect the plastic. Don't know how a high heat area, such as the southwest, will effect the plastic.

Don't know about the uv plastic but I use mine for camping and going out to my property about 2-3 times a month and they have held up great. They seem very durable and are waterproof. They are worth every penny.

I didn't do all my homework so I don't know about the UV plastic but the ones I bought stay out side. That's why I bought them and so far they've held up wonderful. I work in construction and they're the best totes I've owed so far. I'm planning on buying some more. I would recommend them for anyone recreational, work or just storage.

I just use mine for off-roading/camping and they seem to hold up very well, I would definitely recommend them. I haven't left them in the sun so I'm not sure if they fade.

They are plastic. It is kind of thin so be gentle with them. I have made 3 batches with them and they are still holding up.

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.

They are plastic. But we have used this product for two years in all weather and for a power source camping, and it's never failed.

Sorry. I do not have the answer to how these labels will withstand weathering outdoors. I wondered how the adhesive will last along with if the letters fade or wash away.

They are very heavy duty hard plastic. You could keep them outside but I wouldn't but if I had to I would keep them covered.

Yes, they are made of plastic. I haven't tried them out yet, but they seem solid!

No. They are excellent quality. Keep them out of the elements and protect them from UV rays. Good to go.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.

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!

Not sure if the basics have UV protection. You would need to use outdoor rated screws and broads.

I believe they are Polymer, too light to be glass & a good buy for the money...JMO...I keep a pair on my book case & one on the garage work bench and a pair out in my shed...lol...

They are plastic, and they hold up well. I wasn't sure I wanted plastic, but they work great.

Amy- They are indeed plastic and very sturdy for being so flexible. I think I bought them in January (I'm old and forget). They have served me well, as I have been able to take the front mats out easily and wash them during the bad weather and they still look like new. Jim

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

I would say no. I am going to use these outside outside though and just seal them up with silicone. I am sure the sun is going to eat up the rubber coating quickly. I have tested some outside and put in ziplocks and it worked even when raining. They work but I am not sure how long they will last.

sorry took so long to respond, but yes they are plastic. However, it is very sturdy just like any other Little Tikes outdoor toy. Very durable. Hope this helped.
