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

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.

The fabric is 100% polyester, a synthetic polymer. From wikipedia "Synthetic fibers (such as polyester) also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers, and are sometimes renamed so as to suggest their similarity or even superiority to natural fibers". While no material will be indestructible in sunny southern California forever, this material will hold up better compared to most other materials.

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

I seems to be a nylon rope. It did start to wear at the center where it was anchored so we wrapped it with duct tape. I would expect this kind of wear with any rope because of the movement.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

The fabric seems to the a treated material not sure if nylon or light canvas type material. Is not plastic, seems to hold up well. When the sun finally ruins this one, I will try to buy this same type again.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

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.

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.
