They are stable, but doesn't provide any significant sun or glare protection unless you stagger them to double up.

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

I have had no problem with my shade. I try to roll it up of stormy, but it has gotten wet and dried easily.

I live in NY and my cover has held up well to all elements of weather. Not the same amount of sun you receive though.

I've only had it for a few months and it gets the full noon day sun. No fading yet.

I have three that were installed about 15 years ago. Stood up to UV fine, but a severe hell storm took them out last year. Had to replace roof as well.

The UV just stayed on with mine. Here's some great advice, if your place gets cold and you leave your place for the winter, just take the whole ispring with you don't leave it there.

Yes, it still provides excellent shade coverage. We put on some sun screen and also use a blanket if the sun is very intense.

I'm not sure about the actual UV Rays, but it does create great shade. We bought a nice color rope to tie it up with. We're very very happy with this cover. Janet

Yes and No. if it's in the sun, it kinda turn into little reddish - very nice color. I got one in my office and it has been okay - no sunlight for over 5 months now.

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!! Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

I've only had it for a month or so, and therefore can't give an accurate answer about long-term durability. I have another of these from last year that still looks new. My garden is on a 17th floor city terrace that's exposed to bright sunlight and weather all year round so it gets plenty of UV although we are not that much above sea level. My hope is that the dark color will keep it looking newer than the terra-cotta colored plastic pots, which tend to fade badly after two or three years.

We use this on gourds that have pen drawings on them. I don't believe it has any real UV protection so protecting from sunlight will still be important. The colors have stayed true for 1.5 years.

The cover of mine is UV protected. After one year of full sun it is as good as the day I purchased it last Spring.

Not at all. Excellent shade, thick canvas, sturdy umbrella. Highly recommend.

Not particularly. It's not a matte finish so it still has a shiny surface in the sun. I've never had a problem using it in the sun except a little annoying reflection.

It is not a problem--the shade stays wherever you put it. It does not look bad if it is scrunched up a little at the bottom, and it stays in place. I bought just one at first to see if it worked ok, then bought 4 more. I am very happy with them.
