I guess I would say yes. My patio furniture didn't fade while underneath it during the fall and winter in western PA

No. You are looking for wrong product. This one is not a sun screen. It eliminate or erase any mark from skin, even preexisting for long time.

I'm not sure about the actual UV Rays, but it does create great shade. We bought a nice color rope to tie it up with. We're very very happy with this cover. Janet

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

The UV-protection is for the prolonged life of the plastic, it's not nearly enough to stop plants from growing. My setup is in an area where it gets a lot more shade than I'd care to get and everything still grows great.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe there will be UV issues over a period of time. You may want to contact the manufacturer on this item.

No it does not. Water and air pass through, it provides about 90% uv protection and shade.

Perfectly safe. The amount of UVA/UVB is vanishingly small more than 2 feet away from the bulb, and even at very close range is much less than from the afternoon sun. I think getting a slight burn from touching it after it has been on for a while is a more serious hazard, though its heat output is only in the 40W incandescent range. One should remember, though, that these are flourescent bulbs, and all the warnings about breaking this kind of bulb apply.

So far mine is great. Plastics all look good and it's in direct sunlight all day everyday. Not sure if they are actually UV protected though, might be a question or Spalding directly

I live in Arizona and I've been super impressed. No problems with sun--wish I could say the same for my skin.

Not the same UV, you are thinking of tanning beds. You can leave the machine on all day if you want.

I have no idea. I would guess no b/c I believe it's made of a stronger plastic but I have not had mine out in the sun.

It's opaque. What more UV protection do you want? I only wear it under my helmet, so I don't worry about the sun (tonight it was snow I was riding in!).

I would keep it on the outside for safety's sake, the loss in UVB is going to be negligible.

I've only had it for a month or so, and therefore can't give an accurate answer about long-term durability. I have another of these from last year that still looks new. My garden is on a 17th floor city terrace that's exposed to bright sunlight and weather all year round so it gets plenty of UV although we are not that much above sea level. My hope is that the dark color will keep it looking newer than the terra-cotta colored plastic pots, which tend to fade badly after two or three years.

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.

Can I be honest.... Yes it will protect your trailer from UV, but the UV will destroy the cover. Living here in the California Central Coast we have a mild climate with lots of sunshine. I can expect to get about 2 years service out of this cover before it has to be replaced. I'm ok with that - because I want my trailer to last and look sharp. Keep your trailer clean - waxed - covered and it will give you years of enjoyment. Replacing the cover every few years is worth saving my investment. Enjoy - camp on!
