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

I have two of these. The tape is more vinyl like than paper. The labels hold up well. That being said I am not sure this would be the case outdoors. If it is weather protected I do not see the sun as being a huge issue although it would shorten the life. I have labels in direct sunlight all the time but in a climate controlled area with no issues.

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

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.

They are made of plastic and will fade with exposure to the sun. I hope this helped.

It says that Sunbrella fabric resists UV, fading, staining and mildew, whereas I'm guessing the cotton one doesn't since it's 100% cotton. I have the colorful cotton one and it is so soft and comfy, but I keep it mostly indoors.

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.

Hi, I got this for my son. After using it a week the center did have some broken fibers so we wrapped the center with duct tape. I am not complaining, the way the rope is used I kind of expected it to fray. Maybe in the future the company will wrap the center. Otherwise he was very happy with the rope - a good workout.

Because it's manila it tends to go bad when used in wet environments (in my experience it becomes hard and brittle if exposed to fresh water, even worse with seawater). In terms of appearance though it certainly looks nautical and is a bit more than 2 thumbs width so if it's purely for decoration or dry use this is a fantastic rope.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We've had ours for several years now and I can say that, yes, the padding, blue cover, and netting all seem to be affected by the sun. After one year, the part of the blue spring cover right outside the opening in the net, the only part in the sun, just started to disintegrate. No problem, I just rotated the padding so a new section is in the sun and the shredded part isn't in front of the opening. Now after about 3 years, the netting has started tearing and getting weak where the sun hits it. Rather than just order replacement netting and padding, we're going to replace our trampoline completely.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.
