Is this rope UV resistant. if so, what is it made out of?I've heard that the only rope that is sunlight resistant if polyester and nylon will deterior

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

HI!! I have not had to buy rope for my cat tree yet, but I will soon need to. I would like to know where you bought yours? Sorry i could not be more help..:(

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!

So far mine is great. Plastics all look good and it's in direct sunlight all day everyday. Not sure if they are actually UV protected though, might be a question or Spalding directly

*Rope is Smart Poly material - 80/20 poly / cotton for a softer feel and lasting durability

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.

I have two of these. The tape is more vinyl like than paper. The labels hold up well. That being said I am not sure this would be the case outdoors. If it is weather protected I do not see the sun as being a huge issue although it would shorten the life. I have labels in direct sunlight all the time but in a climate controlled area with no issues.

It is a thin rope. Mine has been outside for 18 months and is holding up fine.

Only had it outside in the weather for about four months. Has not shown any fading is occurring. Fabric is a nylon material I think.

It's made of some type of soft twIne, I think. Looks great and is very comfy. I used t have a Brookstone rope hammock, like this much better.Hope this helps.

The nets are UV treated. The raw material has UV inhibitors so the UV treatment is throughout the entire net and not just the outer coating. The nets are also dipped for weather protection which is what some of you have had come off on balls. The net should withstand the outdoor climates for 3-5 years even in the warmer climates like Florida.Just For Nets

I applied it to a cold frame early last spring. I live at over 3500 feet altitude, therefore I get a strong dosage of ultraviolet radiation. During the winter months the material became brittle due to the radiation and broke up. This is a good material for the price but it is not resistant to ultraviolet at this altitude. I do have a greenhouse that I covered with a ultraviolet resistant plastic that is god for four years but the price is much higher. If you have a greenhouse which is easy to cover the warp brothers material might be the best way to go. If you prefer not to recover it every year I would suggest buying a resistant material for longevity. You might check the material offered by "greenhouse megastore, growers supply or Charlie's greenhouse" for price comparison. I hope this will help you out. If you have any other questions I will be glad to give you my input.

It's a nylon rope. My kids absolutely love this swing. We've had as many as 6 kids on it at one time.

It appears to made of strong cord that is slightly stretchable, could be a synthetic material that is strong. It is not rope strands and stands up well in weather. I have installed outside as a basketball court net to keep the ball from bounding out of the court. I have had no problem with it breaking or over-stretching.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

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.

It comes with a yellow poly tow rope.....ours broke/shredded after several uses. We prefer a softer white nylon rope. We have two zip lines. The first zip we got had a nylon rope that has held up much better.
