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

Its like a bandade, a strip of semi clear tape, I got it for a gal pal who just had a hip operation so sunlight for here will not be a problem.but my daughter used it years ago she wore it only at home and after a few weeks the scar was narrower and shorter then before, additionally I have had three shoulder operations and I have never protected them from the sun unless I was putting sun screen all over.

It says that Sunbrella fabric resists UV, fading, staining and mildew, whereas I'm guessing the cotton one doesn't since it's 100% cotton. I have the colorful cotton one and it is so soft and comfy, but I keep it mostly indoors.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

Yes, they are made out of nylon and they do not seem to fade. I have had them outside since May and they still look true to color.

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.

I have four of these hose reels, each comfortably holding heavy duty 5/8" 100 foot hoses with plenty of room to spare. Two of them were mounted in direct sunlight and were destroyed by UV rays after about ten years; the other two are mounted on the north side of the house and still doing fine. I replaced the two damaged reels with new editions of the same Ames product and noticed that the color of the plastic components had changed from green to brown. I can only hope that the manufacturer has recognized the UV problem and upgraded the material used to be UV resistant.

The rope is nylon. I doesn't quite coil up as nice as I'd like but this thing worked perfectly for me this summer. I would recommend.

I seems to be a nylon rope. It did start to wear at the center where it was anchored so we wrapped it with duct tape. I would expect this kind of wear with any rope because of the movement.

Shealthed in what I would say is probably polyester. I have used it for my workout equipment and now for keeping my patio shades down through the hot summer and higher than average wind. It has been a great purchase.

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.

I have used the wire in the past and now the rope. I like the rope because it does fray like the wire. So far so Good. I would recommend.

It's rope/twine coated in plastic. Rather thin, but has held up for over a year without showing any signs of deterioration.

The "natural" sisal rope is a bit yellowish, about the same color value as a role of masking tape and a bit more yellow than a piece of white, untreated pine. Ours was used in an outdoor setting; the color blended into the environment as it was "natural".

I haven't had mine for to long but it appears to be made from some type of light weight nylon. It is water resistant and the tie downs work well. It has a four year warranty.

Hi, I got this for my son. After using it a week the center did have some broken fibers so we wrapped the center with duct tape. I am not complaining, the way the rope is used I kind of expected it to fray. Maybe in the future the company will wrap the center. Otherwise he was very happy with the rope - a good workout.
