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

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.

Sorry friend, its been many months since my hammock apparently disintegrated from exposure to sunlight. I am unable to provide you with the meurements you are requesting.

Yes, they are made out of nylon and they do not seem to fade. I have had them outside since May and they still look true to color.

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.

It is a thin rope. Mine has been outside for 18 months and is holding up fine.

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.

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

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.

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

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 material is some sort of nylon, so it can be used outdoors. It might not last too long in direct sunlight, 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.

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
