Is this rope UV resistant. if so, what is it made out of?I've heard that the only rope that is sunlight resistant if polyester and nylon will deterior

It does fade in sunlight after a while. I haven't tested for loss of strength though.

This was an amazing strong and durable product. I would think it could be exposed to the sun but with anything, sun exposure will break it down over time.

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

Hi Brian. I went to the Equinox website and they don't say anything about resistance to sunlight (or UV radiation). So, I suspect sunlight will deteriorate the Equinox. I bought two Equinox to use as a car cover and the tarp will get some sunlight. I'm curious to learn how long the tarp will last. The car is mostly in shade during time when trees have leaves. Right now I covered the Equinox tarp with another "tarp" to prolong the life of my Equinoxes. Tarps which provide both water protection and UV protection are very expensive.

Dear Judy R., Thank you for your question. We utilize 100% Polyester in all of our Pro Series netting. It is not affected by sun, rain, etc. This is also the case with our aluminum frame. The one thing that you will need to protect from the sun is the nylon sleeve. With extended periods of exposure to direct sunlight the sleeve will fade in color. To prevent this and protect the Nylon sleeve you can utilize a UV Spray (just on the sleeve) to protect it from color fade. You can learn more on our website. Hope that helps... All the best, Paul / The Net Return, LLC.

Technically it could be however, polypropylene rope is not UV resistant (ie will rot in the sun), will stretch and will be quickly damaged by friction. I would STRONGLY suggest metal cables if you are using this as a person trolley. 3/8" or less works well regardless of material.

It appears to be nylon but not rubberised, so I imagine it would weather in the sun and rain. I cut it with heavy duty kitchen scissors and stapled it to the chair bottom, turned out great and easy to work with. Enough to do several normal chairs 3+.

It appears to made of strong cord that is slightly stretchable, could be a synthetic material that is strong. It is not rope strands and stands up well in weather. I have installed outside as a basketball court net to keep the ball from bounding out of the court. I have had no problem with it breaking or over-stretching.

Sure, but it is all natural fiber, so it will decompose over time. Actually, nylon rope breaks down as well -- point is, at some point, after a while, replace the rope!

It has a UV coating on it but like anything, enough time in the sun will damage the outer coating. Wouldn't damage the line itself. 8 would recommend removing the hose when not in use. It does have a quick disconnect.

*Rope is Smart Poly material - 80/20 poly / cotton for a softer feel and lasting durability

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree

It's made of extremely durable material. Sunlight might cause problems over time, but my guess is it'd take years of direct sunlight to start seeing problems.

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer that ...( I don't know if its UV stable ) but its amazing stuff for other projects.

a strong rope like twine maybe? it is comfortable and durable. Ive had it outside in the florida heat for about 5 months and it's still good to go. the two wooden poles that are on either side (as seen in the picture) chip easily when dropped. one came chipped in the mail and theo wood is sensitice to the sun. it has already began to fade abit. no big deal though, I recomend it as a whole and I still enjoy mine. although I look at it more than lay in it lol!

It is made almost entirely of ABS plastic, so after about 10 years in the sun, it will start to degrade. But it will still work fine. There is a small connecting pipe made of galvanized steel that will start to rust eventually, in about 5 years and will probably be rusted through is 10 years. The water doesn't run through the pipe- it runs through the reel and has the handle connected to it. I live in a humid climate (Southeast Texas) where we get a lot of humidity and direct sun on the reel, and mine last ten years, but I'm ok with that. I have tried several hose reels and this one is the best I can find. It is made almost entirely of ABS plastic, so after about 10 years in the sun, it will start to degrade.
