Is this umbrella UV proof enough for hot sun in Texas?

Yes it is, it provides descent shade. It's a little flimsy in the high winds so make sure you retract it, when your not using it

Yes, I got our mounting hardware (3 turnbuckles, 3 eye hole screws, 3 carabiners) from a hardware store for less than the mounting kit they sell on Amazon. As far as UV rays I couldn't say. It does provide some nice shade. Hope this helps.

The cover of mine is UV protected. After one year of full sun it is as good as the day I purchased it last Spring.

I guess that would depend on where you live. I live in Texas, so yes, it is very suitable for our hot climate.

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

I do not keep mine outside all year round. I only put it on the table for a meal and then take it off. I think if the UV light got on it the lifespan of the cover would be limited. Also, I had to cut the hole in the center for the umbrella. This has worked out OK for the last two years.

I would think it could withstand some rain - however, I haven't tried that as we use a Barbeque grill cover (that also covers the light) whenever we're not using the grill.

It has UV protection. So it should stand up to the sunshine in the Sunshine State pretty well. But eventually, it will take its toll on the hose.

This is resistant, but not rainproof. Basically used as a sunshade to keep the sun out. Definitely worth the $$$

I don't see why not. It is not the largest of umbrellas but should block sun. The flaps don't let sunlight in. thanks.

I don't know how well it would respond to the elements. As far as functionality, I don't see any reason it would not work, but again, don't know how long it would hold up all the uv rays, rain, etc..

Yes. Unfortunately, If you are sensitive in the sun, this may not work for you. I am not 'cool' under this product, as a really effective UPF umbrella would be. I continue to 'tan' under this umbrella, which is an indication I am still getting 'burned'. The fabric on this product does not offer effective protection from the sun for sensitive skin.

Fine in CT sun...TX may be more intense but the material is extremely durable

Yes it is. We did spray a UVB and waterproofing protectant on it as well. Our firstnone faded reall bad in the hot sun. So. Hope this one will not do that

I believe it is protection from the harmful rays of the sun (ultraviolet A and B). I found this to be a very nice umbrella, by the way, and great on vacation.

I can't answer that because I live in Hawaii...it's sunny here nearly every day. I have the unit mounted under the open beam ceiling of my patio so it doesn't come into contact with the elements except the wind, if anything. Sorry I couldn't help much.
