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

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.

I have used them outside for about three months now, but they are not exposed to the sun constantly, nor are they in a dusty or dirty area that would interfere with the velcro hooks and loops. I would be wary of any black plastic in the sun, and no matter what the material it's made of, if you can't glom up your velcro with any kind of debris, it ain't gonna "velcro" any more. Good LucK.

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.

I have used the wire in the past and now the rope. I like the rope because it does fray like the wire. So far so Good. I would recommend.

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 !

It's made of extremely durable material. Sunlight might cause problems over time, but my guess is it'd take years of direct sunlight to start seeing problems.

It's a nylon rope. My kids absolutely love this swing. We've had as many as 6 kids on it at one time.

Depends on where you live, I suppose, but I would be concerned that the sun's ultraviolet light would cause premature deterioration of the fabric and/or the bungee cords. Outdoors bouncing sounds great but I would probably tend to take the tramp back inside upon completing my workout.

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.

They are made from polyester. I use them all the time when using my UV light.

Well I have had some labels in my garden for the last ten years and still look as good as new. They are outside year round in some of the harshest weather included extreme heat and sun to snow and hail. The trick is to buy the UV resistant tape which costs a little more but well worth the extra money.

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 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.

Polyester, it feels pretty good just dont leave out in rain or it molds up and it looses a lot of color in the sun....... Soooooo either deal with it ugly or take it down when not in use.

I've already thrown away the box it came in so I can't be sure of the exact material. However, it is not a tarp-like material or plastic. It is also not canvas similar to sunbrella. It is a synthetic in between. So far I have not seen any degradation of the material itself and my only complaint continues to be the narrow fit over the beam. If I stumble upon a tag that tells me exactly what material it is, I'll post it on here.
