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

Not sunbrella, but very fade resistant. I have some sunbrella and it is much coarser-this is like a heavy nylon with a silky feel. It is a rich burnt orange. I live in So. Ca.

Hi, I got this for my son. After using it a week the center did have some broken fibers so we wrapped the center with duct tape. I am not complaining, the way the rope is used I kind of expected it to fray. Maybe in the future the company will wrap the center. Otherwise he was very happy with the rope - a good workout.

I seems to be a nylon rope. It did start to wear at the center where it was anchored so we wrapped it with duct tape. I would expect this kind of wear with any rope because of the movement.

The surface will dictate the longevity of the rope fibers. If you're using it on something soft, like grass/dirt, it will be ok. I use mine on martial arts mats, indoors. Probably the best combination for maximizing the rope's usage. The sun exposure will shorten the life of the ropes fibers, as well.

Compared to other similar items (swim time party island, 6' sun tan lounger) it is much sturdier plastic. It does NOT have a rope or any place to attach a rope. Not sure if this is important to you.

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.

it's a nylon type material which should be ok outside, don't expect that it is sunbrella or they would advertise that, so it may fade, but I would expect that with a dark color

It would be sad to tape or glue a nice, natural fiber rope. And, none of them will last as long as the rope -- especially if exposed to the weather.Google "Matthew Walker knot", "Wall and crown knot" or "Manrope knot" if you can have a small knob on the end of the rope. If not, try a "Whipping knot". All will hold up better and will look better, too.

Dear Judy R., Thank you for your question. We utilize 100% Polyester in all of our Pro Series netting. It is not affected by sun, rain, etc. This is also the case with our aluminum frame. The one thing that you will need to protect from the sun is the nylon sleeve. With extended periods of exposure to direct sunlight the sleeve will fade in color. To prevent this and protect the Nylon sleeve you can utilize a UV Spray (just on the sleeve) to protect it from color fade. You can learn more on our website. Hope that helps... All the best, Paul / The Net Return, LLC.

Just about the same as regular rope light. I did not buy this per say....my son did and he used it in a curio cabinet he was making...it is very pretty in there as the light for it. Also has lasted very well, but it is not on a lot.......hope this helps!

It is not uv rated. We used up to 6 ft. exposed on each of 7 exterior cameras, we just taped the exposed wire.

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 would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

It appears to be mostly synthetic...ours is outdoors and although it is not that old it seems to be holding up well to the elements and our use so far,as with anything outside I am sure that the sun will eventually fade/discolor it.

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree
