UV resistance? In Vegas where the UV index is frequently 10+ and it gets very hot, up to 115 F, will this work for outdoor storage?

Not sure since I use the container inside where the temp does not exceed 80 degree. However, the tank is very sturdy and I would be very comfortable using it outdoors in higher temps.

I would contact the manufacturer or a big retailer who could ask the manufacturer for that kind of information. I live in Vermont where I use it for indoor storage. The room is dark, but I'd say it gets up to 90 on occasion in there. My parents bought one on my recommendation and it's kept in a sunny kitchen, but it's not that hot up the mountain. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

I don't see why not. It's very thick plastic. It's also not clear plastic. A solid whitish color that the UV rays could not penetrate and ruin the food stored inside. If it doesn't work, then I guess you could always return it. Shrug. Good luck.

I use mine outdoors, but it's not in full sun all day. I keep hay pellets in mine and have had mine about 6 months with no issues or wearing yet :)

I have several of these and use them for dog food, cat food, chicken feed...but all indoors. They still work great after years of use. I can't imagine storing any animal food outdoors in such heat though. It probably wouldn't be great for the container and would be worse for the feed. Sounds like you would be cooking the stuff. Do you have to keep it outdoors?

If you're storing dry dog food in this container, I would not recommend you store ANY food at 115 F in ANY container. It's not the container I'm worried about, but the food may turn rancid at that temp. Depends on what you are storing. You should ask the manufacturer if their product would hold up at that temp.

I don't know how well it would respond to the elements. As far as functionality, I don't see any reason it would not work, but again, don't know how long it would hold up all the uv rays, rain, etc..

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer that ...( I don't know if its UV stable ) but its amazing stuff for other projects.

Yes, I believe it is heat resistant. Mine has been in the car parked in the sun on a 90 degree day and it has stayed adhered. The GPS does pop off and lands on the floor of the car when it is exposed to this heat but the disk remains intact.

Don't know. Ours is in the desert and we brought it in for the summer when we leave.115 degree plus days is pretty hot. Obviously it will last longer if it can be brought out of the harsh elements.

No it is not weather resistant. Indoor/Office use only. Very thin metal. Does not have a tight seal.

The manufacturer obviously knows more about this then me, but I'll throw out my best answer. My answer is yes and no. These cards can survive a single trip through a washer and dryer cycle, showing that they are water proof, but the no is because in the user-manual it specifically says to keep them out of direct sunlight. UV degrades the cards . But I would be willing to bet that if kept between 50-105* Fahrenheit, an if your sliding glass door was in the shade, this card would most likely work outside that sliding glass door.I'd be willing to bet a dollar and a donut it would work better than if in a person's wallet, in a plastic card shield protector.

I would say, yes. I know mine has been effective and I store mine in a garage where the temps reach into the high 90's in the summer.

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

I'm not sure about the spf/uv. I'd it helps though, we bought this to use sightseeing in DC in triple degree temps in July. It was fabulous.

I kept mine in a wooden box outside (in Las Vegas where the heat gets up to 118 degrees on a hot summer day). The bottle gets hot but I never noticed that it lost any potency.

I live in Missouri where the temperatures vary. For the most part, I feel that this product will withstand the weather, but ours hasn't been left out in extremely hot temperatures. My guess would be that there shouldn't be any problem. The only concern that I have is that the X Hose specifically states not to leave the hose out in extreme temperatures, so I don't know if I would leave them out in the heat. Not because the holders won't hold up, but because it may damage the hose itself. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I live in the central valley of Ca. During the summer the sun will blacken exposed 2x4s. The point being that those UV rays eventually win. We have a horse trailer with a fiberglass roof and I bought one of these four years ago and one year ago. Eventually the sun wins, I will buy another of these covers in a year or two. In other words, I am happy with it, but the sun will win.

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

The only heat issue i have had is from the sun coming in the windshield, so i made a cover out of cardboard to insulate it from the suns heat. I also painted the cardboard black to make virtually not seen from the outside. I did cut holes for the lens and the power cord and mounting bracket clip. Unit is working very good and i am in Arizona and it has been in the high 90,s already.

You can run it through a copier so I would assume it's heat resistant. It gets pretty hot in there. Hope this helps
