How rain proof is this? How often do you need to reapply?

It is not rain proof. It is strong smelling, but didn't eliminate my raccoon problem.

It is a granule-powder product, so it just shakes out dry -- which means it is not water proof. It just soaks into the ground when wet (& probably puts out more of a smell). I sprinkle this around my vehicles and only reapply when I notice the rabbits returning (which is usually about once a month). I put it heavy around in the winter (when I have the most problems with mice in my engine) about every two weeks. I also sprinkle it down in the engine around the wires. I have not had any problems since I use this.

I used Shake Away last summer and it did repel the deer. But although it is somewhat rainproof, it did need to be re-applied fairly often. Considering the net expense for year round application, I switched to a homemade formula of two eggs, half a cup of whole milk, a tablespoon of Dawn, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and a generous splash of red hot sauce. Mixed in a blender for 1 minute and shaken in a one gallon tank sprayer with 1 gallon of water and sprayed on leaves, it works just as well and costs considerably less. Should be reapplied after any heavy rain. This mix works even better if left to sit outside in the sprayer for a day or two before use. Smell in area after spraying is negligible. I protect red tips, hosta and lantana with it.

First let me say that I used this during the summer, which is our rainy season. It didn't last long. When I lived up north, it lasted several months.

I used it 6-8 hours before a rain with no issue. The container states: Starts working on contact, Rainproof - Won't wash away

I use a spray on waterproofing before each trip and I've had no problems with leakage even in hard rain storms.

It will usually last about 3 months before you need to reapply again. It is very easy to apply. Just make sure the glass is perfectly clean, spray and wipe down in circular motion.

I had it over my garage door and the 1st night it rained, water got into the battery compartment and motion sensor. I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it got most out to the point to where it would work again. I put a sealant around anywhere that i thought water could get in and it's been great ever since. It just doesnt look the greatest lol. So to answer your question, it isnt weather proof unless you make it that way. Hope i helped.

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.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

I had product stay dry under the canopy when all the walls were up. The issue is of relative humidity, if too high condensation forms inside of the canopy and drips down onto things. I covered things up when closed for the night. I haven't used it extensively though so can't say how long the waterproofing will last.

It's not waterproof if that's what you mean. It's fabric. I did once leave it in the rain (a drizzle, not a downpour) and remembered about a half hour later. It dried fine. I would not recommend that though. I always put it away.I see someone else has had no issue with it though. Good to know. As far as the quality of it? I absolutely love the thickness and durability of it.

It's rain proof. I live in NC where we get all kinds of weather. I've had my shed over a year now and my garden tools and lawn mower have stayed dry. Over time, the roof has warped slightly where there's more of an opening where the roof meets the doors. About a 3/4 inch gap, but I still haven't noticed any rain entering into it. It's a great little shed!

I keep this inside. I wouldn't hesitate to use it outdoors. It is pretty well made so I think it would withstand rain showers. I don't think it would easily rust under those circumstances. I don't know what you mean by constant water. I've had it for a while and the finish looks great. I do toss it into the drawer under my washing machine, so it's gotten knocked around a bit. I'd buy another, but I don't have to replace this one yet. I hope this is helpful.

Yes and no. I leave mine out year round and open. It has held up well in FL sun, rain and bipolar weather but now is the time to replace it. The next one I plan to spray with that new rain guard to prevent it from being destroyed. It has held up good in the rain. Water rolls off the edges.

Yes. The key behind using this, is to spray it on and forget it. Let the rain rinse it off over time.

I would recommend weather sealing it first. It should hold up fine. But I'm in the hot desert. So I would find some clearciat spray and spray it. It should do just fine then. It is great quality
