We've been using these protectors outdoors for 18 months so far. Other than some fading of color, they're holding up great! They get driven over nearly every day by USP and FedEx trucks, as well as our cars and tractor. As you can see from my photo, they will flex a bit for uneven roads or pathways. They stay in place when driven over and we've never had to reposition them. I highly recommend these for garden hoses or electrical cords.
