Is this rain-proof? I'm looking for an awning to keep my outdoor furniture dry from the rain and give me shade when it is sunny.

No! Even though it never rains in California I know it will not stop water. Basically a tight weave, lots of shade.

No, this is not what you are looking for. This is a porous fabric that will work wonders for the shade but not for water.

As far as the plastic is concerned, it would probably hold up just fine in the rain. I'd be more worried about the sun causing discoloration (ie. fading) of the table since the table is not fully white, but a kind of light gray. The metal legs may suffer damage in the rain. They are coated with paint; however, in setting up the table and taking it back down, you are constantly moving the metal legs and locking them in place. In doing so, some of the paint inevitably rubs off and may rust in the rain.

It rained heavily here last night and the patio stayed dry except where the water blew under the awning. The awning is waterproof.

I've used it at Pismo Beach and it holds up well. That being said there have been times it was soo windy I didn't put it up, same as I didn't use my awning either. The wind was blowing so hard that it felt like the awning would rip off. So if it feels to windy for the awning you might want to error on the side of cation and not put up the room. Hope that made sense :)

I don't think they're advertised as weatherproof however I've had some installed outside under awnings and my porch roofs for a few months now in the Florida weather without a problem. That, of course, is no guarantee its just been my experience and I certainly wouldn't install one where it would get a direct hit from rain/snow.

Ours has been outside since November and is doing well. It is sitting on a shelf of an outdoor bar table and has some cover, but still gets wet if windy and it gets windy a lot...plus a lot of humidity here on the coast. An overhang would provide similar protection.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!

I wouldn't recommend it for rain at any condition. I live in San Diego we don't get rain often but I was out at a craft show and it rain on us. My items were protected from rain but I would not trust it anyways. I bought my canopy over a year ago I've used it ones a week since, it's getting ready to be replaced. The appearance of it is awesome I would say the material it's made of is not one of those heavy duty ones. If you do decide to purchase this item make sure you get your self a heavy duty storage bag because the one it comes in does not last at all. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

Definitely! My table/bench got lots of rain this past winter and still looks almost brand-new. I do have an umbrella attached to it as I keep it as a table most of the time so I guess that has helped it get through the storms. It is a good product overall and I recommend it.

I sit outside under the umbrella when it rains and enjoy my coffee and stay completely dry. As long as your umbrella is intact...you will stay dry. I love my shade. I would definitely recommend you buy this. I have the Texas sun and heat...and it works great.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.

I have only had these 2 chairs for a month and they set out in the direct sun (100+ degrees) and rain. The type of fabric used dries quickly after the rain and I believe they are perfectly fine for all weather. I am bringing mine inside for winter.

Mine is aluminum There may be some type of fiberboard in between but the exterior surfaces would tolerate dampness. Not sure how it would hold up in a downpour though.

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.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

I think that those people who have the wicker fall appart have the furniture completely outdoors getting rained on and with direct sunlight.I live in florida and have had the furniture on my covered porch for more than a year and it still looks new.You will not be dissapointed....I still cant believe the great value frpm this purchase. I have the whole set
