Can you cover the mesh front to close off the tent in case of dust storms?

Yes, you can. There is an outer flap that can be zipped shut or pinned back, depending on your preference.

We cover it to keep it clean. I don't think rain will affect it since it is metal with powder coat finish.

If u take the 20 min at most 30 to set it up well then i have had no problems with highwind or bad rain. If u do have water running under the tent it will pull the heat out of your body without a good pad or blanket under you. And i havent set it up with the cover off in high wind. It may move a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

Yes. You can completely close the tent up. The door way is mesh and can work as a bug screen. The whole tent is a great buy. Very durable.

The mesh cover is all that comes with it and it is pretty flimsy. We plan to use an inexpensive tarp to keep the sand dry during rain. It's no more trouble than having to put the plastic cover on top of the smaller sandbox we were using.

No... There is no covering for the open side. There is also no coverage from the sun on both sides that have mesh windows. Mine actually broke after the first beach trip.

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

I used this tent in a heavy HEAVY rain storm my first time out and didn't use any seam sealer. No problems encountered. I think what you are suggesting is an over-kill/completely unnecessary.

Yes the tent closes on all sides . ends open and close with a zipper i believe .And yes you can leave the walls off and just have the roof .

No. The top is meshed-material. It is very sturdy and with a great zipper. You can remove (unzip) the entire mesh. I think even with a tarp over it, though, wind and rain will come in on any side since it's webbing material. The bottom portion is also zipped and is waterproof nylon/vinyl-type material. It cleans up very well. I take it apart (easily unzip) and scrub and spray the bottom outdoors. It's primarily used for a sleep-tent at night, indoors. Or when I need to leave the cat alone in the house. It has made life great for the whole house and the male cat.

All room walls and the 'front door' have cover flaps that zip closed from the inside for full privacy. We haven't been in extreme weather but it's a really great tent for the price, should do well in reasonable rain/wind. I always make it a practice to take along a couple tarps (one under the tent) duct tape and extra tent pegs. Btw IRecommend investing in 10 or more strong (metal) tent pegs and a hammer or hatchet. The ones that come with the tent are cheap, break easy. The 'patio' is great, we had a small fold up table & 3 coolers in there with room to spare.

It is covered, however, the mesh-sides can allow rain to get in. I haven't used it during the rain.

There is netting that is on all four sides. If it is warm you can roll up the separate cover or just crack the bottom. There are two separate zippers per window/opening and netting. I experienced no bugs in side the tent. Hope this helps.

Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed. BUT THERE IS NO CLOSING THE MESH VENTILATION AREAS UNDER THE FLIES OF THE TENT. THESE ARE FAIRLY LARGE, ABOUT 2.5 feet by 1 feet high. THIS TENT DOES NOT TOTALLY CLOSE, AT LEAST THE ONE I BOUGHT FROM WALLMART -- and it is the instant 6 person dome tent, 10'x9'. The windows close yes, by zipping them closed. But the upper ventilation areas under the flies not only have any material to drape over them, they have no zippers on them. So, they cannot be closed, even when closing all the windows. This is the case in my tent, and I plan to return it because it get's 50 degrees overnight where I camp. Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed.

All windows have a zip cover to close them against the elements. The only one that zips open is the doorway if my memory serves me. I haven't camped yet this year. I am pretty sure though.

All four sides are covered. The tent closes completely but can be unzipped on two sides to let air through. We weathered a torrential downpour in it without much issue.

No - and, honestly, the material is thin pvc - I would not recommend close proximity to heat! The tent is big enough to have a floor-based radiant or fan heater, though, without getting too close to the walls.
