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

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.

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

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.

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 two of these. The tape is more vinyl like than paper. The labels hold up well. That being said I am not sure this would be the case outdoors. If it is weather protected I do not see the sun as being a huge issue although it would shorten the life. I have labels in direct sunlight all the time but in a climate controlled area with no issues.

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 doubt it has UV resistance. Of course I don't know for sure, but putting any clear plastic in front of direct sunlight for long periods of time will probably make it turn yellow.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 !

It's made of some type of soft twIne, I think. Looks great and is very comfy. I used t have a Brookstone rope hammock, like this much better.Hope this helps.

So far mine is great. Plastics all look good and it's in direct sunlight all day everyday. Not sure if they are actually UV protected though, might be a question or Spalding directly
