They are well made; however, they only last me about a year before losing their stretchiness. We do not have the extreme heat, but do use them in rain, etc. a couple times a week. Ours are always outside in the elements.

I've had mine on for about 4 years and starting to deteriorate rapidly from the sun. Will need to replace this year...so would say 5 year practical lifespan.

If you keep it out of direct sun and take it in during bad weather it should last you for many years to come.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

they should last for a good while if reasonably taken care of- it will help you a lot especially on paved roads and really on sand even though you will have to pull it through the soft stuff.....beats carrying it by hand.

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.

Well I have had 2 of them the first one only last about 6 months the sun and cold destroyed it, the one I have now has lasted longer, I will not buy another, my suggestion buy a regular cloth tarp not the plastic ones the the ones you can treat and they will last

You can leave them out in a light rain because they're a fabric, but they will probably last longer if you don't. The sun already wears them down.

Impossible to answer without a crystal ball. Will they be kept in full sun?, left out year around. They are very sturdy and well built, but like all material the amount of care that they are given has bearing on their useful lifetimes...just like people.

I think it wil last quite a long time, just take it out in the sun once a month. I have had mine for a year and they work perfectly.

Not sure how long they last.. kind of depends on if the wind is blowing a lot plus if you're in open space... wind will cause it to move faster! If your in open view it's so much nicer because you can see it for a long time!

These will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and very rarely have any issues. There is a 3 year warranty from the manufacturer as well.

My use is in the basement for a special purpose; however, I can say that they are a good quality, unlike some cheap bungee cords I bought in the past. My guess is that you should have no problem with these lasting in the sun for a few years.

Im not sure how long it would last against the sun. Its heavy plastic with legs that could rust. So for the price it would hold up for a while, but I can't say forever.

Hi, I've been using these lights (I have 16) for almost 3 years with way better than expected results. I have 4 or 5 in an area without direct sun and they take a great charge. In the summer those few lights will stay lite until 3 - 4 AM. The ones sold today are a little more powerful. The fit & finish, even after more then 2 years is excellent! I live in Southern California in a very hot environment. The real determining factor in how the lights will stay lite is seasonal. My lights won't make it through the night in Winter. In Summer I have a few that only turn off because the sun is coming up! I have not had a single dud! 5 STARS + Hi, I've been using these lights (I have 16) for almost 3 years with way better than expected results.

No, I don't think they would be good for outdoor use unless you were using them in a completely enclosed porch where they would not be exposed to the weather. If they got wet they would not dry out properly.

I have had these outside in all kinds of weather for over three months now and there are no issues with rain. (Except that dreary weather affects the charging so they don't stay lit as long, but that is to be expected from a solar product.)
