does the UV protection prevent plants requiring sun from surviving?

So far after several months my plants are still green under the shade. They get some afternoon sun but not under the whole area.

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.

I do not have mine over plants,but it is a solid cover keeping the sun out.

No, I have two of these over my Koi pond and the plants are bigger and thicker than ever. My koi are protected from flying prey and it keeps the sun off our studio in the mornings. All plants are thriving. We have ours at about the 10' height.

I don't think so...the plants still need the sun to thrive. I had to change water once a week, and it seemed the plants only attained so much growth, and then pooped out.

It is supposed to provide UV protection. My experience to date is so limited that I cannot confirm this. I used this product to actually stiffen a fabric that I used for kites that was more porous than I wanted. I would check any fabric with this product in an inconspicuous place before using just to be sure I was satisfied.

I have no idea. I keep the umbrella open at all times to protect part-sun/part-shade plants on my patio.

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.

Yes. I specifically bought to shield from heavy sun and I'm very satisfied.

Not the right person to answer. I live in Arizona. It protects against sun for maybe a season -- then it crumbles.

I bought this product to protect the roof of my camper. I painted the roof of the camper to add protection against any leakages. It adds a "rubberized" protection. I painted it in the Fall of 2013, and then covered it with a canvas for the winter months. I am not sure it will prevent the sun's damaging effects.

Hi Nicole, No it does not contain any sun protection. I like to use a specific SPF sun screen. Ian

There are products that will protect from UV damage from sunlight (Black Again is one) that you could apply to the stand. I would try using it out of outdoors and monitor how it does.

Mine didn't. I couldn't keep mine alive in no, mid or high sun. Hope this helps.

No need to keep in the shade. I have plants in full sun and water as usual.

I have no clue. I don't have any live plants. The packaging does not say anything about UV rays. Sorry I can't help.

I've used it on plants in the sun in hot weather without problem, but I consider it hot if it is above 80 degrees F.in the shade.

I don't know exact numbers on the UV protection but they definitely keep the sun out so I'm sure the UV protection is pretty strong.

I have mine in somewhat sheltered areas, but yes, the covers are a vinyl type material and should protect plants from rain. I've been using these for quite a few years and the structures hold up very well, but the covers will eventually become brittle with extended exposure to the elements.
