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

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".

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.....

I haven't had mine for to long but it appears to be made from some type of light weight nylon. It is water resistant and the tie downs work well. It has a four year warranty.

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 !

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

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.

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

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!

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 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 LuminAID Solar Light is made of a durable TPU material which is highly water (and saltwater) resistant. If there are any other questions/concerns, please reach us at orders@luminaid.com and we would be happy to help!Thank you,Team LuminAID

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!

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

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.
