Is the material UV resistant? I bought a previous model and it disintegrated after a few months under the sun.

In the past mine have lasted about eighteen months in the Florida sun before fading, hardening and ripping. This last one has faded but not hardened after almost a year or so. I found the Brinkman lasts longer than any of the other brands I tried.

Well, mine is still water resistant, but it's changing color on the parts exposed to the sun, I hope it will not rote

I don't think so, as it fades to grey. I like it any way and have my second one. They last ~ 3 yrs.

No, it is not. I had to replace it just about once each season. I would not recommend it, unless you keep covered grill in a shaded/covered area. (Kind of ridiculous that you need some cover to protect a cover.)

So far we have had no problems with the cover. It is in the sun for most of the day.

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

Cover fits very well and seems to be sturdy. I've had it for about 6 months and the only thing wrong is that it faded from the sun.

Yes but it has no UV protection so how long is it going to last..not very long.

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

No, ours has been in extreme weather (direct sun, high heat, snow, ice, sub-zero temps, etc.) and we've had no fading. It's held up better than I'd ever expected.

I believe so. I bought the solid blue one & it has an under coating of aluminum. I had no problems staying out of the sun with this umbrella.

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

Yes is weather proof and sun will not damage it I have had mine for over a year and has worked fine

I have no idea. I would guess no b/c I believe it's made of a stronger plastic but I have not had mine out in the sun.

My replacement has lasted in Florida sun for over a yr now and looks better than then the original did so far. I was concerned also when I saw the material but its proven to he strong and weather resistant to full sun. There was nothing else available except for 4x the price and I'm sure the color still would mismatch my original sun faded cushion and pillows.

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.

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.

Hi! Ours was in the sun all last summer last year and still looks just like when we got it. We love it! We got the green one!

Yes it is. We did spray a UVB and waterproofing protectant on it as well. Our firstnone faded reall bad in the hot sun. So. Hope this one will not do that
