Your QUV report tells you which net is better—not how long it will last. That’s the trap.
Accelerated aging ranks materials under identical cycles. It’s a fair claim that “B outlasted A by 30%.” It’s not fair to say “B lasts 8 years.” Real sun, wind, and hail don’t follow a lab timer.
🔹 Use it for: comparing two nets side-by-side.
❌ Don’t use it for: predicting your field lifetime.
What’s the biggest mistake you see in test reports?
QUV and xenon-arc hours rank materials; they do not convert to field years. Why hours-equal-years warranties over-promise, and how to read the data.
