I will be draping this over a beam and pulled down tight 45 degrees on both sides to sort've make a roof. Can anybody tell me if this will block rain?

It's very beautiful, modern, and provides great shade, but it will not protect you from the rain.

Not water proof though u can buy waterproof spray or a printable solution sold at homedepot or lowes great idea

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

Can't help you with the rain issue but I've had this tent in 40 mph sustained and 55 gusts. I Double staked and kept all guys tight. Held up like a champ. I really believe it would keep you dry as well

It definitely keeps the rain out. I put a small board on it incase the wind might blow it off !

No, it is only good for shade. It is similar to a mesh and will allow rain to drip through. We use it for roof material on outdoor patio to shade.

IMHO? rain could be ok but it does tend to hold water sometimes around the edges so if you're attentive to keep excess off... My park only allows these otherwise I'd go with something else. Rain, wind & snow can callapse them Easily if you don't take added measures. I live in snow country and had to go out every hour during a heavy storm last winter to clear the roof, those who did not had theirs collapse. It's relatively easy to tear down & rebuild, I don't know about moving it fully assembled. I tweeked the direction of mine a bit while setting it up & it tended to fall apart if I moved it too far from it's original set up. Frankly, if $ were not the issue I'd go elsewhere but I'm preparing for winter 2 with this. Hope that helped.

It won't really interfere with the roof. It can be mounted just about anywhere on the rain gutters or rails. Maybe about half of the sunroof would be covered at least. But this is a fantastic roof basket and perfect for anything that you may need to put up there.

I don't know. I have the same problem with my canopy as well. I found a pole that was long enough to stick up under the roof where it sags and I put it in the space under the grommet when it rains. It works out well for me. The water just runs off the area corner that sags.

The connection is parallel to the vent, meaning whatever angle your roff will be the angle of the connection, so a 45 degree roof will require a 45 degree connection. I used flexible duct.

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.

We live in Florida and use it on a cover lanai. It shouldn't be exposed to the rain but using in covered area is fine. We cover it when there is a rain storm with wind blowing.

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

Hi there, I just had the first rains. It blocks the rain a bit when it pours, but it also dripped after the rain has passed. So no really a rain blocker, it is supposed to let water through to not rip. Did not have it in winter yet, but I am sure it will block some wind just from the nature of the sail.

I am using it to block view on a very sturdy chain link fence 6 feet tall. I installed heavy duty cable ties and pulled it tight. We have had wind no more than 15-20 mph and it blocks some but not all of the wind. It is a weave fabric and air can flow through.

It will cover both but will flow a little and dry hard. Not a flexible material when dry.

I would imagine it would as the vent in the top overlaps but if your worried about things getting wet (most rain storms are not straight down!) I would just get a standard canopy with no roof vent. We use ours in sunny weather so have not had a downpour hit it yet!

The rain will come through. Not as bad as it would without it. We bought furniture covers for ours. I do love this shade sail though! It is very well made. Stands up to strong wind and gives the right amount of shade and lets some air through so its not completely blocking the breeze. After using this one we also bought a 24 x 24 from the same company. These are great!!
