Does it stand up to heavy rain or should it be brought indoors during a downpour?

We left ours outside during most weather. If it was going to be a bad storm we unplugged it. If it looked like hail, we brought it inside. Otherwise, ours stayed under an old oak tree nearly every day.

I have mine under the eave of my barn, I have found the best results are when it is place in shady area. I would not leave out in the elements unprotected.

Agree with the othe two posters, it will stand up to a light shower but definitely not steady rain. It is padded well so it would take a bit of water to soak all they way through. It is matte fabric, not the shiny stuff the repels rain better.

it will keep dry if you are using it on a rainy day . it will not keep the water out if drop it into a puddle of water

It holds up fine in the rain. We had a graduation party w 100 ppl. An unexpected windy rainstorm w torrential dangerous rain came and we put the food and people under it and the party continued. No problems. Just make sure you follow the tie-down directions with regards to anchoring it into the ground. It comes with everything you need.

I would recommend it as if its rainy and windy then water can get inside the door and cause water damage to the inside of your wall, unless you are going to use some other waterproof material to prevent water damage from happening on the interior of the wall

It's pretty light weight and will blow over if any wind. I doubt if it will warp, but I bet it will fade and I do not think it could handle rain. I really think it's meant to be indoors. Sorry.

Here in PA we've had some very heavy rains and it held up just fine. Last year during Sandy a tree fell down in the back yard. We had to work for 45 minutes to move it away from the door. The light stayed lit thru the entire time in the middle of the storm. I'd say it works great in a heavy rain. No it did not come up for the rain only when we walked out into the back yard.

I wouldn't suggest putting it outside. If it rains, it will be drenched and very heavy. I have my doormat laying inside next to the inside the door. Works very well.

Rain should be no problem. Ours has definitely been up in rain without issues. I try to take it down but have left it up for several days. Only problem we've had is if a bird soils it which doesn't totally come out but cannot see it when watching movie at night.

I've been in light rain and severe humidity. Many times, I've set it down on wet sand or dirt. I've never had my stuff on the inside get wet. I don't think it is built to be waterproof, so I wouldn't take it in extreme rain. But for anything less than a downpour, you'll be fine.

I would trust it in a quick shower or storm, but I'd seek shelter as soon as you could. There are gaps on the sides of the flap that rain could get into if it's a very hard rain or you stay in it for too long.

Its made for indoor use. If you used it outside and it rained you would have problems with it shoirtiung out.

I have not had the occasion to have it fully emerged but I was on a real heavy downpour and my stuff was dry inside. Hope this helped. Happy shopping

I really don't know, but I wouldn't leave it out in the rain. We just use ours in the house.

Yes. We set this tent up in the backyard when we received it and that night there was a heavy downpour. It was dry inside the next day. Great tent!

If it's protected from the rain and moisture, you will continue to enjoy it. In situations where it would be exposed to rain, I would recommend that it be brought inside when not in use. It's made from 100% cotton and needs to be protected from excessive moisture over periods of time.
