How is this shelter when it rains does it hold up

Yes. We had it up for 4 months a year and it lasted two years. Alas, they don't make replacements for our model and we had to trash a perfectly good frame and buy new. Quite reprehensible on Coleman's part.

Moderate rainfall yes. Heavy rainfall i do not know, we have not been having any rain at this time of year. During the month of February when we used themwe had some rain and they held up alright. Hope this helps you.

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

If you take proper care of it, the tent will hold up a while. Mine probably has a dozen trips on it, and remains in great shape.

We have used it for extended periods of time and it has held up well. I would take it down in the winter months , or if your expecting high winds.

Nothing got wet so far. Had it for two years BUT, when there's big wind storms the bottom door has opened up. Maybe 3 times since I had it. I have it against a wall.. not much rain gets there... so not sure how it would work out if it's right in the middle of the yard with rain on top of top of it. I use it for cooking... just wheel it close to the sliding door so I can get in and out of the kitchen. When I'm done, I tuck it against a wall out of the way. Love it :)

I haven't had it long enough for leaks/mildew but two major rain storms and a recent snow storm with single digit temps, it's holding up well. As I mentioned in my review, I did get some water on the floor that was pushed in by the wind. So far so good.

Hello, I purchased the tent for our daughter with autism. Works great for that but I don't know about the rain. Sorry.

This tent does not hold up well in rain. I even put two coats of of waterproofing on it. As soon as the rain/sleet drops hit the tent they mist straight through the tent and dampen everything inside.

We use it as a rabbit house for two small rabbits, and it works very well. It's strong and secure, and the roof really protects them from the rain. We live in Oregon, so the rain is a huge concern for us.

Well I'd have to say this model shelter is more sturdy than most. The ratchet anchoring system works well and if you do it right it will not move an inch. The shelter offers protection from the weather, wind and rain however the ambient moisture level inside the shelter would be the same as outside so it would be damp inside. There would be no drips from top or ends but the furniture might not like the high moisture level.

Mine has gone through numerous rains and storms and hasn't let any rain through. Love it.

I've only had it about 2 weeks but did set it up in the backyard. It seems sturdy enough. Imounless a hurricane comes through I think it would hold up ok. The corners are galvanized.

We've had it for nearly a year with lots of rain and sun and seems it will last a few years. Still looks new. You just need some long stakes and ties to secure and support it.

Yes it holds up fine in rain. I have it on my porch and it gets rained on and so far I have seen no discoloration.

It holds up fine in the rain. We had a graduation party w 100 ppl. An unexpected windy rainstorm w torrential dangerous rain came and we put the food and people under it and the party continued. No problems. Just make sure you follow the tie-down directions with regards to anchoring it into the ground. It comes with everything you need.

I cant say how durable this is but it has stood up to several brisk storms in Ohio. Your discretion on will it for sure. They sell twist stakes that you can put in the ground to anchor the poles and top with a separate rope angled outward. As far as the material used in the top it is pretty strong. If you have nothing to anchor it to in the soil you can use cinder blocks and tie it down. I also put stakes in each pole bottom. As with any temporary shelter you do your best to secure it.

Out of the bag, this tent is fairly decent with rain. We've owned the previous incarnation of this tent (16x10) since jan. 09, camp 3 to 4 times a year, and have had very little(if any) issue with leaks. I WILL say that the first time out, we sealed the interior seams of the rainfly and tent body. Later, we learned to periodically reseal the interior tent/rainfly seams and apply a spray silicone to the exposed portions of the tent body as well as the rainfly. Once you set up camp, assuming its not raining, these steps are pretty easy to knock out. It's a great tent, but even great tents require some maintenance. Enjoy!
