Are the windows real/ plexiglass? I want to put it outside and be able to have the kids stay dry when it rains.

No, the windows are open and the slats in the roof don't keep the water out (unless you made some modifications to seal/waterproof the whole thing).

No, the windows are open. Just the slats, no covering like glass or plexiglass

No just open shutters cracks are also in the roof. However it stays fairly dry .

I use this playhouse indoors in my classroom. It is holding up well but I wouldn't recommend it outdoors to keep you dry. The windows are open on the top and the sides.... unless you covered them yourself maybe??

No the windows are not plexiglass, they are open, the rain will come through

That crossed my mind, and I always make sure rain is not in the forecast when I put it in my window. The item is $30. So I just use my common sense -- it's an electrical appliance, and if it's product description doesn't say it's waterproof, assume it isn't. As to what happens when it gets rained on, I would rather not experiment to find out.

I don't think so. Yes, it is like screens for your windows. It is mesh and we used to cover the outside PVC vents.

I have mine in somewhat sheltered areas, but yes, the covers are a vinyl type material and should protect plants from rain. I've been using these for quite a few years and the structures hold up very well, but the covers will eventually become brittle with extended exposure to the elements.

the windows can be closed with a zipper, there is an open mesh at the top however that can only be covered by the rain fly

No , the the material is like thinner umbrella fabric, that is not water proof. I got caught a few times in the rain and the water accumulates towards the bottom of the roof on all 4 sides and leaks through the material. I gave my tent away after probably 5,6 uses in 2 months, after one of the frame parts broke on the top structure. It literally broke, not detached, or screw came out. If you're looking for a more durable frame for that price, get a QuickShade, I had that one too, it's better quality and lasted a long time. Or save a little more and buy a Caravan or EZUP

There is regular screen mesh on the inside. The louvers are very close together. When you place it in your window, put it with the louver side on the outside and the louvers facing down. The screen side should be on the inside. If you place them in your windows this way you won't get any rain coming in. I put them in my windows as soon as the weather starts getting nice and take them out in very late fall. They keep my attic nice and ventilated. Make sure you buy thermal king. They are very well made. Hope this helped.

The material is fabric. We have not had it out in rain, do not know the level of waterproof. It is more sun proof than the original canopy.

I really don'tknow: mine are under a porch roof. They are sealed well, but there is nothing to deflect the rain. I would recommend finding a way to protect them from constant direct exposure to the rain

We used them to cover pic rooms and they withstood wind & rain. Hope this helps.

Hello! Yes, the rain goes right through unless it rains very heavily. It can sag somewhat so we put up a pole in the center to raise it slightly. We like that look also. We used the Shade Sail Hardware Kit (Square) ordered from Amazon for $15.76 plus shipping. Nice heavy duty hardware. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Gary

I don't think there will be a problem, wet the window per instructions and squeegee out the water as shown, you should get good adhesion to the window. looks nice on sunny days,good luck.

Water resistant might be a better description. The roof will repel rain and the wood is treated but there are joints and gaps that will allow water in if sprayed directly or perhaps via splash back. I had to replace the supplied roof materials due to shipping damage and went with much better components. Haven't had rain yet so we will see how it holds up.

Closest we ever got to rain was wet grass and it stayed dry. But I don't think the design would stay dry in actual rain. It's a very open design and would get wet inside I think.

No, NOT rain proof, Maybe a very light rain. sprinkle that is. This is a light duty shade product. I do love it though. The setup really does need two people. The clamps are amazing. VERy strong and well build. Pretty heavy too, most of the weight is the clamps.

These are definitely indoor-only panels. I fear that the glue holding the coverings to the frame would not survive moisture.

My son has used his for his PE Locker which although shaded by the building overhang, is basically outdoors. It has been fine for the past 6 months. It is worth noting that we live in San Diego so rain is minimal - good luck.
