Does the screen porch also include walls that can be sipped up to prevent rain blowing in?

The sides of the porch windows zip up but the tops just hang loose. The rainfly does a pretty good job of keeping it from dripping in through the tops of the windows but we put heavy duty stick on velcro across the tops of the windows anyway and it has really helped it feel a lot more secure and helps the appearance as well since the tops of the flaps kind of hang in when they're zipped up.

Yes, the screens can be zipped up like the other windows in the tent, to stop rain or to allow people to sleep in that area too.

I am using mine on my screened in porch. It's been out there a few weeks now and works fine. Of course it's under a roof so it doesn't get wet when it rains.

rain does not leak through at all. However if the wind is blowing and its raining I always pull the furniture away from the screened walls so things don't get wet. Yes bugs are kept out by the screening. We live in Minnesota and we have numerous bugs/mosquitoes etc and they don't come through the screening. We've had this screened house for years now and except for how dirty the trees above make it we have had zero issues with it. We do end up bleach?washing the roof every spring because of the dirt from leaves etc. Its been holding up very well.

I would say NO. I have rain barrels with screens... i've covered them up, and i've had somewhat of a success. If you cover the screen... you should vent the barrel. I have four rain barrels

Yes, the screen is only partially shielded by the fly, and there are no additional zipped doors to completely seal the porch. What you see is what you get. If it's a heavy rain, it will come into the porch.

It has the insect screen side panels. There are decorative canvas side panels but they do not fits all the way across and do not zip together. They are more a decorative corner item with tie backs to hold them in place. The fame held up well during some very high winds. We have learned to take the top panels off once winter winds are forecast.

No, you can leave in the screen and put the exhaust against the screen. To do this you leave the rain guard off when you set up the exhaust.

No there is a screen. Only if it fills up to the top with ashes. It's a very nice firepit.

The downspout actually sits above the mesh screen; an open end. When it rains, the debris is stopped by the screen but the flow goes into the barrel. I was unnecessarily worried that the water would pour over the sides: it does not. I am very happy with the performance of the unit and the ease of assembly. I am handicapped and elderly and had no problem setting the whole thing up.

Yes. At least as good as a fabric raincoat. Since the canopy is a fabric (the source of its strength), the fabric stretches in places during rain storms near the lower rim so that some water accumulates in the shallow bowls formed in the canopy. We found that cutting small slits in those places removed the problem. Since they are along the outer sides of the canopy, the had no effect on the central seating area. We have sat through rain showers in comfort. Oh, sinced the slits are only 1/2 inch, they are barely visible when the canopy is dry.

Yes. I put shade cloth over the top and 1 side for privacy. Works and looks good.

Yes, I use it on my screen porch. We have wicked pollen in in the spring and this keeps it out and it stays clear. This is my second year.

I believe the rain, sun, and wind would damage it severely. You need wood that is treated and finished specifically to handle outside elements. Outdoor furniture made of Teak or Cypress tend to be built more solidly than this finely carved screen. And because of that they can hold their shape while the elements beat down on them.

Yes, the roof is heavy vinyl and waterproof. no rain leaks in ever. the screen is very close and we never had knats (little tiny bugs) ever come in our screen room.

NO IT DOES NOT. Your job is to assemble it correctly. By the way, I wish that the rain would seep in.

It does. I got it to install under a trellis shelter. The top is open so I had to put a makeshift cover over the top to keep rain out.

No. The canopy material is porous and will allow water to come through. In the rain I don't notice hardly any water coming through as the material sags some towards the middle. I was however surprised as to how gracefully the canopy handles the wind. Good Luck
