The companies suggest that UV-resistant plastic film be replaced every 4 years. That is probably a bit too short a time but not off by much.
Somewhere on TEG, I have pictures of my PVC garden and lawn sprinkler stands. So, how long does PVC last out in the sunlight?
The lawn sprinklers are drained and left on the east side of the house whenever not used including through the winter. I had the good sense to make them with the heavier grade PVC. Recently, I replaced the hose fitting on one of them. There was printing on the pipe.
I checked the internet. That hardware company went out of business in 1999! People have asked me how long these stands will stand up. Well, if I don't fall over them or put them away in the winter with some water left in them, it looks like 20 years plus!
