Is this rope UV resistant. if so, what is it made out of?I've heard that the only rope that is sunlight resistant if polyester and nylon will deterior

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

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

It is not uv rated. We used up to 6 ft. exposed on each of 7 exterior cameras, we just taped the exposed wire.

From looking online at other suppliers of this TropiShade product, the material is called "sunbrella". I have only had the umbrella for a few weeks, so I don't know how the fabric withstands sun fading. The color now is very nice, a saturated vibrant rust color. They should indicate, and they don't, the led lights are not white, but a sort of deep yellow.

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.

The fabric is 100% polyester, a synthetic polymer. From wikipedia "Synthetic fibers (such as polyester) also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers, and are sometimes renamed so as to suggest their similarity or even superiority to natural fibers". While no material will be indestructible in sunny southern California forever, this material will hold up better compared to most other materials.

I purchased separately on Amazon. High temperature will work. The color on the rope is dark. I installed myself. Fits you'll have some left over. Hope this helps.

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.

The umbrella is made of polyester. The description did not mention anything regarding UPF protection. I always slather sunscreen on our grandson, so I don't worry about the UPF protection in the umbrella itself.

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.

Yes, they are made out of nylon and they do not seem to fade. I have had them outside since May and they still look true to color.

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

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.

I'm not sure what kind of rope it is but it is very nice rope. I have used it for a year now and it has held up better and done better than some of my mammot ropes. The rope I got in this package was 10.0 mm which is what I like to do. But very nice rope. And the rest of the gear I am still using too after a year it is all nice and durable.

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

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
