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

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.

I wouldn't expose this product to sunlight. Uv light breaks down most epoxies. You would have to strip it and recoat every year. Try a marine varnish for outdoor furniture

Yes it's a poly fiber rope and its taking the abuse were throwing at it!!! It was a good buy...

After two years in the Arizona sun, the bungee cords totally disintegrate and fall apart. I'm guessing due to UV exposure. Everything else on it looks great. Just need to replace these cords.

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.

It appears to be mostly synthetic...ours is outdoors and although it is not that old it seems to be holding up well to the elements and our use so far,as with anything outside I am sure that the sun will eventually fade/discolor it.

It appears to be nylon but not rubberised, so I imagine it would weather in the sun and rain. I cut it with heavy duty kitchen scissors and stapled it to the chair bottom, turned out great and easy to work with. Enough to do several normal chairs 3+.

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

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.

It is a thin rope. Mine has been outside for 18 months and is holding up fine.

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.

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

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.

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.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.
