After years of use, my arches have not changed color (yellowed), have continued to light, and are pretty much forgotten until they are needed. They hang upside down from racks in the storage area. They maintain their shape, even when taken out of their center bracing.
Unfortunately twice now I have had them break in the middle of the arch itself. (One last year, one this.) It is a very clean break - almost like it was a seam in the material. I guess I should be thankful that only two out this group of 16 have done this.
The real interesting part is the breaks happen when absolutely no activity is going on. Both happened with the storage unit closed and no one bothering anything.
Any thoughts as to why they would do this?
