will the tarp allow water to pass through

Most water passes through, but it will get heavy and you can see the wait of trapped water causing it to sag at times. My shade is 30x16' so the amount of trapped water (cohesion and adhesion properties of water to this mesh) does add up. But the water never pools, as the gaps are too large for that.

Yes. We used for quite a while in wet conditions and didn't have any water leak through.

It'll soak through to the floor, of course. Need to have something under it. It's like a mesh of rubber about half an inch thick.

Yes; it is a thin plastic material that won't allow liquids to seep through.

Yes it does. I have heard that other people putting the pool directly on the ground have added another tarp. We poured a concrete slab and the tarp works OK over that.

No tarp needed. Full waterproof up to maybe 2-3 inches of water. But I doubt you'll ever be in that deep.

It will need something to hold it down. Just know you are buying a thin tarp that is basically useless

I agree with Michael that the cover will keep water from seeping through but do all you can to see that it won't puddle up in the first place.

Seems like it should be at least resistant but to be honest I have not tested that yet. I doubt rain water could penetrate the material unless you submerge it but the zipper is what I would question since there is no rubber seal. Hope that helps.

The rain does come through the screen, although how much depends on the strength and the direction of the rain. The tent has a pretty good ventilation though that can be controlled through the side windows inside the tent (quite well protected from rain). We used a tarp to either cover the stuff in the screened area or we hung it over the porch's walls. It worked pretty well. The water did not get through the floor at all, so once everything was covered it stayed dry.

Absolutely! This tarp is highly adaptable to many situations, and it could serve very well as a rain fly over tents of many different designs due to its many tie-down spots. I don't think you's have any water leakage problems with it, either. Good luck and have fun! Tom

No I don't think so. It can get wet but don't believe the contents are protected.

It is a tightly woven solid material. Black on the underside green on top. The water accumulates on top and doesn't run through. It is like an outside tarp.

Yes and no. Some water will seep in through the seems at the top. The stitching essentially pokes holes in the inner waterproof coating and water can seep in through these holes. I sealed the seams on my own with some silicone caulk.

No, some water will go through the product, but it keeps a large amount of water out. It's good, but not perfect.

I dont think it would since it is slots of bamboo that would allow water ect to pass through!!!

I don't think so. It is a very tight weave that prevents moisture from getting through.
