Is this a mesh type fabric. I am looking for something solid to keep out the rain.

Michael, this is mesh and won't stop the rain. It's great as a sun blocker.

I guess you might call it a nylon fabric. It's very sturdy and held up in high winds.

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

It is a fabric material. Good enough to prevent abrasions if you landed on the usual places like your hip or knee because of the reinforcement pads. It repells water, but I don't recommend it for constant rain. Got caught in a downpour, and couldn't hide shelter for 30 miles. The pants soaked through.

The fabric seems to the a treated material not sure if nylon or light canvas type material. Is not plastic, seems to hold up well. When the sun finally ruins this one, I will try to buy this same type again.

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.

I used it every night, would squeeze out at the end of bathtime and hang to dry on the tub handle with the included hanger. By the following night's bathtime it was almost completely dry and I live in a humid climate. Yes the whole cover is a meshy fabric.

There is no mesh vent on the cover that I received. It is solid so that it protects from the rain, snow, etc.

No, not the water proof, thick plastic like a tarp. It appears to be a "water resistant", poly blend, similar to a polyester shower curtain. Typical shelter material. The windows are a heavier plastic material. The front and back zippers do not separate at the top.The walls have velcro strips that you wrap around the top of the frame and the legs.Be prepared to do some mending! My walls had un-attached and missing pieces of velcro which required purchasing velcro and sewing the velcro onto the walls.I do not recommend purchasing this product, I encountered structural problems as well, that required "rigging".

The cover has a vinyl backing which is probably water resistant but the outside feels more like heavy duty fabric and it repels water. I keep my patio furniture under our patio cover and I wouldn't expose it to the elements (e.g. rain) for too long:)

Hi, David.... It is a cloth that is treated with a "plastic" like coating that allows it to resist rain, etc. I really like mine! Hope this helps! Godspeed! Steve

I am not sure the exact type of material, but it appears to be some sort of rain resistant material. I have been caught in light showers and the bag gets damp, but all equipment stays dry even without the weather cover. However, the rain cover is very easy to use and attach...and I have used it during a pretty heavy downpour and everything remained dry with no problems.

No this is just for weatherproofing something like a tent or some other camping things. So it's basically for fabric.

It is. I have it covering my "teak" wood patio set on our deck. We have gotten tons of rain here in Ohio recently. It had done a great job keeping the water off and is a good alternative to the ugly green or blue tarps.

This fabric is black. I would say it's similar to a black rain jacket material as it has a smooth sheen to it. It looks like a black North Face jacket. Not shiny but very smooth. I am not saying it is waterproof by the way. It is very strong fabric. Could be used to make duffle bags or stuff sacks.

Hello, Thank you for your interest. Yes the mesh screening as as shown in the pictures. Sorry we do not have anything that is waterproof and we cannot recommend a sealant. You can try 3M Scotch Guard, but we cannot claim that it will make the material waterproof. We also do not advise that you use these tents in the rain or during heavy winds - this may cause damage to the frame. These tents are not designed to be permanent structures. Thank you, Formosa Covers

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.
