Does this swing set have - All of the painted and plastic parts have UV protection to guard against fading? I have seen this on other sites?

We actually gave this as a Christmas gift for our grandsons, so it was not assembled by us. My daughter says she didn't see any indication of this treatment.

Hi, it has not faded at all. It looks great and it really cools off that window from the beating sun by a lot! I'm really happy with it. I don't know if or when it will start to fade but I am really enjoying this awning. I hope that helps.

No, not that I've noticed and I've sat on it in the sun. Maybe because it's powercoated?? It's a really comfortable swing despite it's appearances, I get compliments all the time.

Mine did over the summer. I really noticed it when I bough new ones for my patio furniture. But I also live a 7000 feet where UVs are high The material though has held up through high winds, hail and sun.

It does not, but you can find a set with uv light here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NWSZRM8

Other than the canopy, I wouldn't know....the discs came with screw-ins, which hold the canopy secure...take a look at a diagram of the swing setif you still have it...good luck. JL

They have a green plastic paint coating that turns into the stainless chain about 2 feet above the swing

Yes it is. We did spray a UVB and waterproofing protectant on it as well. Our firstnone faded reall bad in the hot sun. So. Hope this one will not do that

I doubt it has UV resistance. Of course I don't know for sure, but putting any clear plastic in front of direct sunlight for long periods of time will probably make it turn yellow.

Ours shows very little wear or missing paint after more than a year of play...very nice set

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.....

Our set has been outside under a covered Gazebo and looks great without any fading. We haven't had a chance to use it too often so it's still as comfortable as the day it arrived. No complaints or regrets :)

plastic also it fades to be light pink in sunlight @ about a year. Can repaint.

The UV-protection is for the prolonged life of the plastic, it's not nearly enough to stop plants from growing. My setup is in an area where it gets a lot more shade than I'd care to get and everything still grows great.

Hi! Ours was in the sun all last summer last year and still looks just like when we got it. We love it! We got the green one!

We have not opened ours yet as it's still winter here but the description says that a uv sun blocking canopy is included. Maybe going to the One step Ahead website would help answer any additional questions.
