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

The material is some sort of nylon, so it can be used outdoors. It might not last too long in direct sunlight, though.

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!

Technically it could be however, polypropylene rope is not UV resistant (ie will rot in the sun), will stretch and will be quickly damaged by friction. I would STRONGLY suggest metal cables if you are using this as a person trolley. 3/8" or less works well regardless of material.

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

Sure, but it is all natural fiber, so it will decompose over time. Actually, nylon rope breaks down as well -- point is, at some point, after a while, replace the rope!

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.

It is made almost entirely of ABS plastic, so after about 10 years in the sun, it will start to degrade. But it will still work fine. There is a small connecting pipe made of galvanized steel that will start to rust eventually, in about 5 years and will probably be rusted through is 10 years. The water doesn't run through the pipe- it runs through the reel and has the handle connected to it. I live in a humid climate (Southeast Texas) where we get a lot of humidity and direct sun on the reel, and mine last ten years, but I'm ok with that. I have tried several hose reels and this one is the best I can find. It is made almost entirely of ABS plastic, so after about 10 years in the sun, it will start to degrade.

It comes with a yellow poly tow rope.....ours broke/shredded after several uses. We prefer a softer white nylon rope. We have two zip lines. The first zip we got had a nylon rope that has held up much better.

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.

They appear to be made out of a nylon like fabric. They are pretty weather resistant, although after being outdoors all summer, my red one is starting to fade.

Just nylon rope. I bought chain and s hooks from the local hardware srore and all has been great.

Hi Richard, I use this glue for my jewelry company and I love it... it is WATER resistant but I have no ideal if it is sun (heat) resistant. I tried to google if it was heat resistant but didn't find anything. Sorry I could not be more help. Donna Kay

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

I would say it is water resistant. But not water proof. I have mine in the garage and so can't speak with authority, but I feel the material would not hold up well to ambient UV.
