The bottom edge is straight. I don't remember about the edge of the roofline, but I don't think so. It is a shiny white tarp-like, but with more flexibility and less texture than the standard blue tarp. The windows are like a thick version of a vinyl shower curtain.

actually it is white electrical tape I think ... does not pull paint off of the bars

We purchased this tent for our son to use in his business he started to help him through college. He sets up at festivals and makes hand made survival bands. Our tent was by far the best looking tent in the group. Very clean and just an overall upscale look. We string white lights inside as well as attach two of the ceiling florescent lights. In my opinion it is more like a tarp material though it could be a little bit on the plastic side. It was a very good value for the price and we have used it several times with great success. We take white duct tape to help stabolize the joints and we use zip ties to support lights and other accessories. The top cover that helps keep the water out of everything does have a slight scalloped edge to it. The windows look very nice as well. Hope this helps. The grade we purchased was much more durable than the lower cost one available and the windows add a great touch. When the weather took a turn for the worse we could close all but one opening for protection and still customers could see in all the displays inside our area.

Yes, the tent has scalloped edges - they are long/subtle scallops... And the material is tarp-like. We have one for a temporary barn, works well. Only limitation has been a very wet spring snow storm (~12") collapsed part of it, but that is more than most folks would run into.

seems like molded plastic. it is a good futon but be aware it is small (anyone over 5'5" or so would not be able to lie in it vertically without their feet going over the edge. otherwise it looks good and is a great deal.

It is a plastic tarp-type material.... not super thick, but reasonably heavy.

It is a woven polypropelene. Similar to a trampoline tarp, without the elasticity. These canopies are well made.

it's a canvas like material. Actually pretty resistant. HOWEVER... the bolt that goes into the middle bracket scrapes against the fabric as you are rolling/unrolling the awning and eventually caused a tear in mine. Aside from the difficulty in getting the bolt in there, it's not worth it, since it will eventually rip the fabric. I, personally, feel that the two bolts on the end are sufficient, since the bolts only hold the canopy in the brackets and don't actually support any weight (the brackets support the weight). Hope this helps!

There is a full mesh screen door. The door has a double layer (solid and mesh) so you can either unzip it completely or just leave the screen door closed. The sides have a lot of mesh too but no solid cover except for the rain fly outside the tent. I slept out in about 40-degree weather, though, and it wasn't as bad as I had expected.

its not plastic but its not burlap either, its some sort of synthetc canvas, very strong but not tear proof, I tore mine trying to flow water off of it after a rain storm, but it was very heavy and I was applying a ton of force on it. Good tarp for storage not so great for towing...

Lisa, It looks like nylon, like tent material. It seems durable my 10 yr old and 1.5 yr old chase crawling through it. Hope that helps, I would buy it again. Vickie

Material is polyester but has a spring steel frame sewn into the tent. It would have to be hand washed.

Yes it is made much like a regular tent. Would recommend padding as there is no cushion.

I just got this net tent yesterday. It is better then I thought it was going to be. It looks just like it does in the picture except mine has blue edges instead of purple. The tent has zippers on both sides of the tent just like the picture shows. The netting is small enough to keep EVERYTHING out, but it is also very delicate so you must be careful and the zipper feels like it could break easily too. I would TOTALLY recommend this tent though! Hope this helps!

There is a cardboard core. The leading edge of the plastic wrap is like saran wrap. Find the edge and start wrapping. It clings just like saran wrap and stretches to hold things together. I wrapped the edge of my pool cover about 12 times with this material still holding up. I had several days of high wind gusts over 40 mph all okay. The cover never lifted.

It is more like a tarp so far it has worked really nice with no problems. We have had it all summer. Hope this helps

clear plastic, but it seems heavy(thick), the 'netting' you see is suppose to be a reinforcement(not really, once it rips, no stopping it(experience with different manufacture)), the sun may eat it up if left out year round, I have mine up 4 months only then pack it away, and this is my first year with it, happy so far, it is NOT a poly weave material, which would be stronger and last longer, the window vents are netting which I never opened

It's a tarp like material.... We always use another tarp on the ground just to protect it, but probably isn't necessary. We have used ours numerous times, all over the U.S. If ever We needed to replace our tent, we would probably buy the exact same thing!

Yes it is mesh. This is a child's toy not camping equipment. I suggest you either,1. Keep shopping or2. Snap it closed and take it inside when it rains.

I think it's plastic it works fairly well. It's like a waterproof material. I stroll mt two little dogs around in it. They love it. Never heard back from company re missing parts. Went to Home Depot for the missing washers.
