Over a long enough period of time, regular exposure to UV radiation will discolor the pipe and may weaken its physical integrity. The pipe can be stored outside unprotected for up to 6 months. The factory-issued bags that the pipe comes in will protect it from UV damage and should remain in place to cover the pipe until the pipe is ready to be installed.
The pipe may be protected by either a permanent cover or using an elastomeric paint.
