Is the fabric UV protected?

I don't think so. I bought a rust colored one. It's been up since January and is fading from the sun. I'm not certain any color with the exception of white is totally protected.

The fabric is advetised as being waterproof and breathable, but It's more like water resistant. The fabric on the roof starts to break down from the UV rays of the sun in about a year and seems to have a life of about 2 years. I'm on my third cover, but that is the price that you have to pay when you want to take care of your investment. Happy camping....

No because there is no UV protection in product description or advertised as such

I am not sure but I do not believe so. It is exposed to the elements and has held up pretty well. Has not faded or discolored. Color on website is pretty true..

It depends on the amount of ambient light on the exterior. Normal exterior daylight is not impeded by the fabric much at all.

I am not totally sure of that answer, I just figured it was like clothes, if its covering up you aren't getting the full impact of the UV light, just like when you are out in the sun, your clothes protect your body. I think its better than not using them at all.

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!

Hi Colleen. I looked at the box and it doesn't say anywhere on it about being UV. So I don't think it is. Hope this helps

Not sure. I wasnt too concerned because my regular glasses have both UVA and UVB protection.

My sense is that there is some degree of UV protection and that's why I purchased one, as it was recommended by my dermatologist. Most cotton fabric has a minimum SPF of 15 for example.

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

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.

Yes, once dry it is impervious to water. However I can't say how it reacts to UV rays.

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

Yes, this does have UV protection. We bought it for our hot tub cover, and it certainly keeps it shiny and supple. I use it in my vehicle on the dash, doors, & leather seats. We have been very pleased with this product! But...I have not used it on fabric.
