Has anyone had these for a couple years? How durable are they? My patio set has a good deal of sun and wind exposure.

I live in So California. Purchased 10/2013 and as of 6/2015 this cover is broken. The fabric is now so brittle it literally rips when handling it. I'm trying to see what the warranty is to file a claim. This, along with my other Hearth and Garden covers, are very poor quality (at least in regards to durability in the hot SoCal sun).

Mine has torn from being pulled. But the fabric is still pretty thick and tough. I'm going to buy another one for another piece of furniture. You can't beat the price on this. I would say that it will stand up to your weather, just be gentle pulling it back over the furniture.

Had them only since last fall but they are still in great shape and lasted through a long and cold winter.

Mine sits in the sun and wind. It made it thru this winter but one on another bench fell apart so you just take your chances. I try to put something heavy on them when heavy winds come and that stops the flapping which I thinks makes them last longer. Good luck!

Mine ripped within one year and has become very brittle and hard. I do live in Michigan and we had an excessively cold winter this past year, but I expected this cover to last longer than a year. Two other chair covers purchased from a different company which were exposed to the same weather conditions are fine. They all covered patio furniture on a deck (with a pergola) through the winter.

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.

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

I have these in all the elements, snow, rain, sun, and they are still awesome. I have two sets on my patio. Highly recommend them.

I've had these on my patio for over 2 years now. There are some instances where they get a little bit of rain on them from time to time but only thing I've noticed is the grills get little brown spots. You can clean those off though. These are great speakers.

We have had them for a year on a wood deck in the Texas heat and have not seen fading or had issues with durabilty. Ours are not used everyday, though.

We also have had these for almost a year & only had one bulb issue. They have been out in rain & we haven't had a problem with water filling the globes. Only issue we have had is wind knocking a bulb off & it shattered. We did have to use an extension cord to string them together across the patio, used the fence & porch awning to mount them, but we do have 4 strands hanging side by side & we receive compliments on them every time we have a party. Have been a great addition to outdoor entertaining for us.

So far so good. I've had them sitting on an open outdoor patio in the hot Florida sun with plenty of rain for over a year. They still look good and appear in good condition.

I have had this set for three years. The cushions have not held up well. I believe they are not Sunbrella, but Olefin. The frame on one chaise and on the firepit leg has split open. These will not be lifetime pieces, but you should get five or six years maybe.

I bought mine 2 years ago and with multiple play dates a week during the summer, I would say that it has held up pretty well. I do suggest putting a small table on top of the blower to shield it from the sun. If it gets overheated, it'll shut off. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on with mine the first season.

Yes, mine has been outside for a couple of months in the rain and direct sun with no problems.

I got them last summer and they are great. They have not move in the wind but I also have them in a back yard that is well protected by land scape. I was impressed with how sturdy they are.

I'm in AZ and it's good so far with the sun and wind. Had them for about a year now.

We have had the set for about 8 weeks. It is on an uncovered patio near a pool. There is a metal bar on the back of the chairs about 8 inches from the top of the fabric. My guess is they are not aluminum as the chair frames are supposed to be. They started to exhibit a slight bit of rust on a few chairs by the welds on these bars. We bought some black rustoleum spray paint and that took care of the problem. Not sure what you mean by weather proof. They dry very quickly after being rained on.

i installed two on a shed roof two years ago. im very happy with them. its hard to say how long they can hold up against the sunlight but id guess 5 to 10 years maybe more.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.
