will it be a good idea to use it as an outside cover against the rain?

Hm, ive used it in the rain. It doesnt keep the bike dry. But also doesnt get soaked. Its not ideal for rain. Hope that helps.(get a 2-4 Layer cover-trust me)

This item is a "dust cover" and little more. It will not repel rain for long, and will not hold up in extended exposure to sun or wind.

I would not put it where it gets direct exposure to rain. Mine is on the outside of a building, protected under roof.

I don't see why not - especially if the area is shielded from direct sun/rain - it's cheap enough - try it!

If its a relatively dry environment it should be no problem. I would purchase a cover for it though. I've had it outside for over a month and it can get a little dusty on unused areas.

Yes. I kept it outside without a cover for the first week and without any rain (just morning dew) it started to rust. If you purchase it, I would buy a cover.

I noticed the surface absorbed the paint markers I used - so I suspect it would also absorb the rain and become quite soaked. The foam core might help it stand up to a few sprinkles - but the surface does not appear to be water proof.

I would not use this as a cart cover, only effective if you throw it on your cart for immediate rain fall & and head for shelter. It work like a rain jacket , doesn't cover everything. Very weak material tears if it catches any windGood Luck

I have never used it in the rain, I would image that it would work. If I had to use it in the rain I would. I would just put it further under my vehicle to protect it from the rain before I lifted it.

It would keep the rain off, but I doubt the umbrella would last for long with constant use. I purchased it to block the sun for photographing at weddings. It works well for that.

It is water resistant not waterproof....i would definitely recommend getting a rain-cover for it.

It is sort of heavy & thick, I would not have a problem using it as an outdoor cover.

Well - right now it is raining and the shelter is shedding rain with no problems. It is a fairly heavy duty tarp cover so I am guessing it will remain water resistant.

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

Of course not. But it will protect you and your goods enough for you to take other precautionary measures. A light to medium rain is fine but wind and down pour questionable. It's a great product, easy up and down after you've set up and taken down a couple of times. Plus great price. We use it for the farmers market and other special occasions.

Probably not a good idea. I imagine if it's wet, it's raining, or how are you going to use it? This product is designed to work with direct sunlight. So if it's just getting sprinkled wet occasionally that's probably not a problem, but a deluge of water? No.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

The canvas is water proof, but because of two openings the rain does get inside especially if you have an open porch. I would think if one of the openings was just a little bit smaller it might help keep the elements out.
