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

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.

The material is some sort of nylon, so it can be used outdoors. It might not last too long in direct sunlight, though.

Compared to other similar items (swim time party island, 6' sun tan lounger) it is much sturdier plastic. It does NOT have a rope or any place to attach a rope. Not sure if this is important to you.

Hello There. It is polyester and the color has not faded yet. There has been complaints about the arms breaking, I did not pay attention to that and... one of the arms snapped after only 2 months of use.

Well I have had some labels in my garden for the last ten years and still look as good as new. They are outside year round in some of the harshest weather included extreme heat and sun to snow and hail. The trick is to buy the UV resistant tape which costs a little more but well worth the extra money.

They appear to be made out of a nylon like fabric. They are pretty weather resistant, although after being outdoors all summer, my red one is starting to fade.

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.

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

Because it's manila it tends to go bad when used in wet environments (in my experience it becomes hard and brittle if exposed to fresh water, even worse with seawater). In terms of appearance though it certainly looks nautical and is a bit more than 2 thumbs width so if it's purely for decoration or dry use this is a fantastic rope.

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 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.

They are made from polyester. I use them all the time when using my UV light.

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

I have used them outside for about three months now, but they are not exposed to the sun constantly, nor are they in a dusty or dirty area that would interfere with the velcro hooks and loops. I would be wary of any black plastic in the sun, and no matter what the material it's made of, if you can't glom up your velcro with any kind of debris, it ain't gonna "velcro" any more. Good LucK.

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!
