my guess, is that keeping it outside is having an effect on the hooks. the moisture in the air, especially if its covered(condensation) is somehow weakening the stitching, and or bag material. It can also get dry-rot. Plus, UV rays(even covered) certainly can have an effect on the bags integrity. I have 2 thoughts to consider. Bring the bag inside (if pos) and, or put a heavybag spring on the hooks before you hang it. this will take a lot of the shock off of the loops. Everlast, and several boxing companies sell them on their sites. they’re sold by bag weight. one is for up to 100# and the other is from like 100-300#. good luck.
