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

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 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.

It's made of extremely durable material. Sunlight might cause problems over time, but my guess is it'd take years of direct sunlight to start seeing problems.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer that ...( I don't know if its UV stable ) but its amazing stuff for other projects.

This product is for one time use and is not for repelling. It catches you when you are sitting in a tree and fall but not meant for regular use. The rope itself is thick like repel rope but I don't know if its appropriate for that. The ropes seem like a very high quality (I just can't speak to it)

I purchased separately on Amazon. High temperature will work. The color on the rope is dark. I installed myself. Fits you'll have some left over. Hope this helps.

Technically it could be however, polypropylene rope is not UV resistant (ie will rot in the sun), will stretch and will be quickly damaged by friction. I would STRONGLY suggest metal cables if you are using this as a person trolley. 3/8" or less works well regardless of material.

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 !

The material is some sort of nylon, so it can be used outdoors. It might not last too long in direct sunlight, though.

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.

I looked on the packaging, and there was no UV rating, but I've been using it for months and it hasn't yellowed. It doesn't mark the gauge of the product, but it is a nice thickness. I have only one problem with the product, I can't get the wrinkles out. I hope this helped you.

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.

Hi Jerry,The sun shade's components are UV-resistant and will withstand the sun's effects for many years.Hope this helps.Regards,AngelaCS Email Representative

Sure, but it is all natural fiber, so it will decompose over time. Actually, nylon rope breaks down as well -- point is, at some point, after a while, replace the rope!

I've already thrown away the box it came in so I can't be sure of the exact material. However, it is not a tarp-like material or plastic. It is also not canvas similar to sunbrella. It is a synthetic in between. So far I have not seen any degradation of the material itself and my only complaint continues to be the narrow fit over the beam. If I stumble upon a tag that tells me exactly what material it is, I'll post it on here.
