Is the material UV resistant? I bought a previous model and it disintegrated after a few months under the sun.

In the past mine have lasted about eighteen months in the Florida sun before fading, hardening and ripping. This last one has faded but not hardened after almost a year or so. I found the Brinkman lasts longer than any of the other brands I tried.

Well, mine is still water resistant, but it's changing color on the parts exposed to the sun, I hope it will not rote

I don't think so, as it fades to grey. I like it any way and have my second one. They last ~ 3 yrs.

No, it is not. I had to replace it just about once each season. I would not recommend it, unless you keep covered grill in a shaded/covered area. (Kind of ridiculous that you need some cover to protect a cover.)

So far we have had no problems with the cover. It is in the sun for most of the day.

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 Boris, It's a very nice piece of furniture, I have had outside for five months under my lanai and it has held up very well. I use it to keep towels in for the pool. It gets direct sunlight from sunrise until about 11am and has not faded at all. I hope this helps you.

We've had ours since spring and sits directly in the Colorado sun for more than 1/2 day. Have not noticed any fading, cracking, etc. Looks great.

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.

Absolutely! I've had mine outside exposed to the AZ sun for the last three years (11/12) and it still looks great.I just hose off the dust and let air dry.However, I did spray paint it with Rustoleum when it arrived to a brown to match my patio furniture.

I do not know if it is UV resistant, mine hasn't changed color. I do know that with a weighted base, over 50 pounds, it will withstand winds to 25 or 30 MPH

I haven't noticed any wear from sun. It has held up very well. It was in the middle of a wide open yard and had no shade at all. It is very well made and solid.

This is a vinyl plastic material. Very thin and very flexible. The version we have has built in ribs to offer stronger support in the material. As in the materials capabilities, it stands up to UV and strong winds pretty good. Had it covering our pool all last summer and it kept form and shape very well.

I don't see any fading at all and I've had it for a while. I live in Alaska so we have 20 hours of bright sunlight in the summer. I can also tell you that it does just as well in the winter. No cracking in the extreme cold and it still looks as good as when I bought it.

No. It is highly susceptible to UV light. I take it down every year and store it in a Rubbermaid tote and it lasts about 3 deer seasons.

It is after all plastic which is susceptible to the hot sun. But it hasn't been a problem so far this past summer, but as in my review, I placed it on a adequate foundation.

It appears to be mostly synthetic...ours is outdoors and although it is not that old it seems to be holding up well to the elements and our use so far,as with anything outside I am sure that the sun will eventually fade/discolor it.

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 installed mine in April and the parts that were most exposed to the sun disintegrated by October. It also ripped during a storm. This is in Texas where I should have probably gone with just a shade cloth. You could get away with using this on the areas that are not taking a lot of direct sunlight like the side walls. And then put a nicer film over the roof.

Yes is weather proof and sun will not damage it I have had mine for over a year and has worked fine

Mine did over the summer. I really noticed it when I bough new ones for my patio furniture. But I also live a 7000 feet where UVs are high The material though has held up through high winds, hail and sun.
