Does this fade significantly? We live in New Mexico, and the back yard faces south.

Not sure what you mean by does it fade significantly the umbrella itself does not give off much light just a few LEDs distributrd along each spoke

So far after a year no sign of fading in New England summer. Still too early to tell but I will say I've had other items fade in the first year and this still looks ok

Mine are fine, it's under an awning so not in full sun all day long, I read revues before I purchased, and others had mentioned fading, but mine have not

We are in naples florida and the no seeums stop us from enjoying the yard as soon as the sun starts to go down. Anyone have experience using this with no seeums?

I likve in NM and my grandpa grew it here. I bought the seeds to put it on the other side of my yard and it seems to do good with same amount of water as I give my lawn. I may just have Grandpa's green thumb i don't know.

If left in shaded area it will be fine, I got it for my twin grandsons and my daughter leaves it up all summer and it is fine, and she lives in Louisiana. Hope this answers your question

No, I haven't noticed any fading. If you are experiencing fading, perhaps if you back down the amount you are using it would help. We have pretty hard water, so using the recommended amount has not produced any fading.

No. I think it is made of a fabric called Sunbrella. It doesn't fade and shades very well.

We live in Delaware, not quite the desert and our top does fade a little in the sun. I spray an Aromor All like product on it about twice a year and it looks like new again. You may have to treat it much more often, for the money it is a great product. Easy to use, light, removes and re-installs easy.

I have had my awning since March over a doorway facing west at the Beach with very brutal, direct afternoon sun everyday. I see no visible signs of fading - I love this awning and for the price, I think it's a good buy. Hope this helps.

I have just started the third summer with mine and there are no signs of it fading. I have a large lawn and have used the mower more than weekly.

Ours has been on one full year- thru one fall & one winter. It has not faded yet, you can see the wood grain thru it, but still quite green, so I would say gradually over a few years.

We use it on our boat but it seems to fade in and out at times if the sun goes behind clouds

No not at all. I've had mine on now for 9 months n it hasn't even faded and I live in apartments and don't own a garage so it gets sunlight all the time.

Mine has had lots of Texas sun and so far no fading. BUT the rubber line inside the rolled bottom keeps coming out. One of the ends fell off and we could notfind it. We tried to tape up the end but it didn't hold. So far the shade still works though. I have been pleased with it overall. We put up hooks so it can be tieddown, with the rings on it, during heavy winds.

The instructions say that there will be fading if the product is placed in an area where there is direct sunlight and will eventually need to be removed. So fad I haven't had any problems and it has been there for quite a while. Our window sees about 8 hours of direct sunlight a day during the summer months.

I bought the awning in early spring, so it is a little soon to say for sure that it will not fade. However, after about six months now, it looks exactly like when I installed it. I've received a lot of compliments on it and am very pleased with the purchase!

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.
