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

I looked on the packaging, and there was no UV rating, but I've been using it for months and it hasn't yellowed. It doesn't mark the gauge of the product, but it is a nice thickness. I have only one problem with the product, I can't get the wrinkles out. I hope this helped you.

I'm almost positive it's synthetic, but its very soft. I've had it for several months now and it hangs between two trees and gets full sun and sprinklers everyday. It still looks great and feels soft. The rope is very stretchy and it shows no sign of sagging. My only complaint to far is that one end of one of the bars has a split in it. I will use some wood glue and a ziptie or hose clamp to keep it from spreading.

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

a strong rope like twine maybe? it is comfortable and durable. Ive had it outside in the florida heat for about 5 months and it's still good to go. the two wooden poles that are on either side (as seen in the picture) chip easily when dropped. one came chipped in the mail and theo wood is sensitice to the sun. it has already began to fade abit. no big deal though, I recomend it as a whole and I still enjoy mine. although I look at it more than lay in it lol!

It's a plastic composite of some sort...very durable and thick. It has provided just the right amount of shade but still allows sunshine brightness. It's closer to a Sunbrella-type fabric used on patio umbrellas, but with a more open weave. That's the best that I can tell you...someone else may be able to give you more technical information.

Just about the same as regular rope light. I did not buy this per say....my son did and he used it in a curio cabinet he was making...it is very pretty in there as the light for it. Also has lasted very well, but it is not on a lot.......hope this helps!

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

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.

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

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.

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

Dear Judy R., Thank you for your question. We utilize 100% Polyester in all of our Pro Series netting. It is not affected by sun, rain, etc. This is also the case with our aluminum frame. The one thing that you will need to protect from the sun is the nylon sleeve. With extended periods of exposure to direct sunlight the sleeve will fade in color. To prevent this and protect the Nylon sleeve you can utilize a UV Spray (just on the sleeve) to protect it from color fade. You can learn more on our website. Hope that helps... All the best, Paul / The Net Return, LLC.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.
