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

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

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

Shealthed in what I would say is probably polyester. I have used it for my workout equipment and now for keeping my patio shades down through the hot summer and higher than average wind. It has been a great purchase.

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 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.

The "natural" sisal rope is a bit yellowish, about the same color value as a role of masking tape and a bit more yellow than a piece of white, untreated pine. Ours was used in an outdoor setting; the color blended into the environment as it was "natural".

They are made from polyester. I use them all the time when using my UV light.

They appear to be made out of a nylon like fabric. They are pretty weather resistant, although after being outdoors all summer, my red one is starting to fade.

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.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.

The rope is nylon. I doesn't quite coil up as nice as I'd like but this thing worked perfectly for me this summer. I would recommend.

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!
