Are these covers UV protected? Our Sunbrella cushions seem to fare ok, but the thread gets baked by the sun and breaks.

The covers survived snow and cold on our screened porch--and protected the furniture during an extreme Midwestern winter, but they aren't exposed to the sun, so I don't know about UV protection.

We have had our 2 covers for over a full year and they seem to keep the sun off the furniture in an excellent manner . We really like them and the job that they are doing as far as sun, rain, and snow.

Never mind the cushions. Our all weather furniture is crumbling from sun exposure after two summers. I would NOT BUY this furniture.

Ooops. Not see through, if they were see through I doubt that there would be any UV protection..

You bet, many of our customers leave these out all year long. The color will fade over time but the material itself is fairly resistant to UV

All I know is that they will survive indoors. I'm having trouble with the bright sunlight here in New Mexico. I'm going to use shading cloth that blocks 30% sunlight and I hope that helps cause too much sun burns them.

Mine have held up in the direct hot South Texas sun with no issues whatsoever! I've tried a few other brands in the past, and these work much better than the others!

Sorry, I don't know if it is Sunbrella fabric. It seems like good quality fabric and the cushions seem like they are well made.

Fabric is sturdy to the sun...of course any excessive direct sunlight will eventually damage anything. The pillows are not rain proof, if u spill something on them it can be whisked away by hand or towel, but if left in the rain they will absorb lots of water I made the mistake of leaving it out in a down pour and the pillows had to be squeezed to remove all the water

I haven't had a problem with UV damage and it's exposed to the strong So. Cal. sun all year round. My problem has been slight stress cracks from the weight of the water. I had a crack almost immediately after installation and Spalding sent me a free replacement. Now three years later I have a slight leak again. I would suggest filling with sand so leaks won't be an issue.

We've had the cushions for two summers and they've held up nicely. We have a covered deck, but keep them out all summer long. They are not the thickest cushions available, but they're not the most expensive either. I bought them for the price and the pattern.

I leave mine outside and they dry fast after being in the rain. I have the red cushions and I have been disappointed with the colorfastness of them. They appeared to have faded after only a few months in the sun. Otherwise, the furniture has been great.

We like these very much. They really protect from the sun. We usually need to replace after about every three years. Be sure to cover sharp corners with something or the wind will wear holes at the sharp areas.

We never had an issue, however we live in North Carolina. Didi you ever consider covers? They may help.We have them on when we do not use the furniture to protect the cusions from the hot sun.

Our furniture is on a covered porch. We use the cover if it's going to rain, but if we forget, the cushions will get wet. In a light rain, the water beads and can be dried off easily. If they get a little more wet, we just stand them on their side and they dry very quickly. We've had the set for more than a year and love it. The cushions will fade in the sun, but I'm not aware of any that won't have some amount of fading in sunlight.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

Hello Sandra, thanks so much for your question. Yes, they are made with Sunbrella fabric. The larger cushions do come with zippers, however the throw pillows do not have zippers. Let me know if you have any other questions. Sincerely, Melissa

Mine have not faded too much. I have a set in the sun and one in the shade and the full sun chain is a little faded, but I am in South Texas so that is expected. Any bright colors will fade with sun unless the coating has a UV inhibitor added to the coating.
