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

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.

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.

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.

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.

Looks like parachute type nylon - it is light weight. Mine rotted and split in the Florida sun in nine months. They replaced it free of charge under the 4 year warranty.

After two years in the Arizona sun, the bungee cords totally disintegrate and fall apart. I'm guessing due to UV exposure. Everything else on it looks great. Just need to replace these cords.

I have four of these hose reels, each comfortably holding heavy duty 5/8" 100 foot hoses with plenty of room to spare. Two of them were mounted in direct sunlight and were destroyed by UV rays after about ten years; the other two are mounted on the north side of the house and still doing fine. I replaced the two damaged reels with new editions of the same Ames product and noticed that the color of the plastic components had changed from green to brown. I can only hope that the manufacturer has recognized the UV problem and upgraded the material used to be UV resistant.

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.....

Yes, they are made out of nylon and they do not seem to fade. I have had them outside since May and they still look true to color.

We've had ours for several years now and I can say that, yes, the padding, blue cover, and netting all seem to be affected by the sun. After one year, the part of the blue spring cover right outside the opening in the net, the only part in the sun, just started to disintegrate. No problem, I just rotated the padding so a new section is in the sun and the shredded part isn't in front of the opening. Now after about 3 years, the netting has started tearing and getting weak where the sun hits it. Rather than just order replacement netting and padding, we're going to replace our trampoline completely.

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!

The umbrella is made of polyester. The description did not mention anything regarding UPF protection. I always slather sunscreen on our grandson, so I don't worry about the UPF protection in the umbrella itself.

It appears to be nylon but not rubberised, so I imagine it would weather in the sun and rain. I cut it with heavy duty kitchen scissors and stapled it to the chair bottom, turned out great and easy to work with. Enough to do several normal chairs 3+.
