Can anyone comment on durability in harsh sun? We live I the Mojave desert where it is regularly 100-110degF in the summertime.

We live in Delaware, not quite the desert and our top does fade a little in the sun. I spray an Aromor All like product on it about twice a year and it looks like new again. You may have to treat it much more often, for the money it is a great product. Easy to use, light, removes and re-installs easy.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

I've had them outside in CA Bay Area weather totally exposed for a year so far. The chromed steel is holding up well. Regards, JC

It holds up surprising well. Last summer I was backpacking in the gorge (northern Oregon) and it rained for almost 24 hours straight. I was dry the whole time.

Is the EasyBloom heat tolerant? I mean Las Vegas 110+ degree all day summer sun. I'm getting tired of planting rosemary and I don't like cacti. Most of the nurseries here get stuff that's for full sun in CA.

We've had monsoons this summer in AZ with very strong dust storms and rain. The sun sail had held up great, it has a little slack in the line that needs tightening but that's from the line used to string it up, not the tarp itself.

I just returned to the U.S. from 3 weeks in the tropics and the ambient temperature was never an issue. Also, when my camera was about a month old, I dropped it from chest level to hard concrete and you could barely see the nicks/damage in the side of the camera. I wouldn't leave it in the sun all day, though. I also feel lucky the camera landed on its side when I dropped it. Everything still works fine.

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 live in the extreme heat in Phoenix. I've had the chair under my covered porch that faces North for a year. The chairs are well made, Saturday and don't get direct sunlight. No problems so far.

I concur with the answer from Nicolas. I highly recommend the product as you won't find one that is as sturdy and all metal and the plastic ones deteriorate in the sun.

I live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and mine is doing very well. I do keep it in the shade. I was told not to let it be in the sun.

I would contact the company (Roslen) directly and ask. They have always been extremely helpful when I've had a question. I live in San Diego, so I cannot speak to how the unit holds up in extreme environments.

well, the sun does not appear to be an issue; it gets to 100 degrees here pretty regularly but these are mesh so they dont really hold the heat; not a problem

I live in southern AZ (110 deg. summer temps). Used the cover in KS (summer/winter 2013) with no issues. After moving to AZ, the cover deteriorated quickly over the spring/summer/fall of 2014. I'd estimate the cover will last approx. 1-2 years if used in southern AZ. Most RV covers are made out of similar material, so not sure switching brands would help. IMO, this cover is still a good investment. I'd rather have a deteriorating cover than a deteriorating RV.

I am not sure. Ours is in Maine on a deck in direct sun and held up well this summer but might be different for you with intense heat.

I've only had it for a month or so, and therefore can't give an accurate answer about long-term durability. I have another of these from last year that still looks new. My garden is on a 17th floor city terrace that's exposed to bright sunlight and weather all year round so it gets plenty of UV although we are not that much above sea level. My hope is that the dark color will keep it looking newer than the terra-cotta colored plastic pots, which tend to fade badly after two or three years.

It should last atleast 6 mos in summer sun. It frays with wind blowing. Amazon provides excellent warranty support
