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

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

The nets are UV treated. The raw material has UV inhibitors so the UV treatment is throughout the entire net and not just the outer coating. The nets are also dipped for weather protection which is what some of you have had come off on balls. The net should withstand the outdoor climates for 3-5 years even in the warmer climates like Florida.Just For Nets

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.

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

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.

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.

It would be sad to tape or glue a nice, natural fiber rope. And, none of them will last as long as the rope -- especially if exposed to the weather.Google "Matthew Walker knot", "Wall and crown knot" or "Manrope knot" if you can have a small knob on the end of the rope. If not, try a "Whipping knot". All will hold up better and will look better, too.

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

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.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

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.

Compared to other similar items (swim time party island, 6' sun tan lounger) it is much sturdier plastic. It does NOT have a rope or any place to attach a rope. Not sure if this is important to you.

Hello There. It is polyester and the color has not faded yet. There has been complaints about the arms breaking, I did not pay attention to that and... one of the arms snapped after only 2 months of use.

I left mine out in the sunlight (natural light contains uv) for about 10 minutes and it was fine. If you are talking about AFTER you apply it. I had a faulty package that was rubber before I ever applied it, that is no bueno!

Seems to me like it was made of nylon or something similar, mine is not exposed to UV rays so I can't testify to it holding up
