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

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

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

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.

Anna, I am not exactly sure what it is made of but it appeared to be the normal nylon tent material - if that helps. My kids were definitely shaded from the sun under it. I did not notice any odor, but we opened and used it outside where I probably would not have notice anything anyway.

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree

Just nylon rope. I bought chain and s hooks from the local hardware srore and all has been great.

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.

Not sure about this specific hot glue but other hot glues I've used outdoors before were not UV resistant and became brittle after a year or 2 of exposure to sun. Also hot glue used to join materials like wood that absorb water will not hold when the wood swells and softens. But It's great for joining plastics and about the only thing I know of that will securely bond polyethylene. Painting over it can alleviate the UV problem.

Good afternoon and that's a very good question. I just pulled one of the vests off our shelf and it shows that they are made from polyester. The vest seems very well made and the material seems to be extremely strong and durable.I hope this information helps answer your question. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with and have a great day! Jessica S., Brandshopper Stores

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.

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

It's made of extremely durable material. Sunlight might cause problems over time, but my guess is it'd take years of direct sunlight to start seeing problems.

Seems to me like it was made of nylon or something similar, mine is not exposed to UV rays so I can't testify to it holding up

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