The bags will be used under the sun. How long do you think these bags will last?

I have had no issue with them at all. They are heavy duty and should last as long as you need them.

I can not say if they will hold up in the heat or cold. These are the heaviest bags I have seen. I would think in the heat the would become more flexible but in cold conditions I don't know.

I have not used them in that way, but I can say they are the heaviest bags I have yet found, really good quality! Hope this helps!

we haven't had a chance to really lounge on them yet because it hasnt been warm enough but to me they seem pretty sturdy... putting it together took a long time but it wasn't hard or anything. I would say get some covers for them if they're going to sit out in the sun a lot- it's just a guess but i think they will fade and start to crack if the weather beats on them.

They are as strong as they say they are and remarkably tough. As long as the total rock weight is within the stated limit, the bags will hold up. I would be concerned how you plan to tote the bags though as they are designed to be filled while on the ground and then picked up by a waste management truck.

The bags themselves are waterproof, but I would suggest you review proper sandbagging techniques, with proper overlap. They will certainly keep water out, but you'll need to make sure they are laid correctly.

HI, I don't think it would last long: every part is very light to allow it to be carried around in a big bag so not suitable for staying out permanently.

I think it might depend on, not only how long they are exposed to sunlight, but also other environmental factors (humidity and bioregion). The manufacturer claims that UV protection is included in the manufacture of the product, but research that I did suggests that they will still begin to deteriorate in a matter of months. Ours were out in the open for most of an Oregon summer filled with moist dirt, and seem to be ok so far.

I can't answer how long they will last in the bag, but I purchased mine last year and just put them out again this past week. They worked great on our first rain storm.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

The bags are water resistant, but not completely water proof. We have not had anything get wet in the bag as of yet.

I have a friend who lives in very sunny Crestone, CO, and his are holding up fine. He's had them a couple of years. I think they are under a clear plastic roof though, so not direct sunlight. Ours are inside, not out.

It will last for up to a year if left sealed in the bag at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.

They are very cushy, and have ties at the back. But I don't think the fabric is made for outdoor use. That said, it is tightly woven, slick fabric, so I would think they'd be fine as long as they're put away at the end of the day.

My use is in the basement for a special purpose; however, I can say that they are a good quality, unlike some cheap bungee cords I bought in the past. My guess is that you should have no problem with these lasting in the sun for a few years.

They are made of plastic and will fade with exposure to the sun. I hope this helped.

These boxes are made of plastic and should last several seasons if they are stored away from freezing with the dirt in them and away from blisteringly hot sun. If you buy them now, just put then in a garage or basement and they should be fine.

For light rain, they'll be okay, for a while. For heavy rain, not really. After a year of moderate use, the tops of my bags were wearing a bit thin, to the point where they were partially see-through in a couple spots. At that point, after pretty heavy rain for ~1 hour, all of the contents were pretty soaked.Not sure if the wear-and-tear was related to leaving the bags out in the rain too much (I tied them down permanently to keep them in place better and to reduce noise, so outside parking didn't help) or if it was from infrequent near-max-capacity loads.

They are for "outdoor" use but I don't think that these ones would last very long in the open with lots of rain and sun
