Thank you for your inquiry. The fabric is made of vinyl and should not leak through. 18 OCEAN BLUE 17.2 actual fabric width. 2-piece fabric construction Valance is separate from the main canopy to fit both Carefree and Dometic/A&E roller assemblies. Unlike the other brands single piece canopy, Carefrees canopy is welded to a protective Weatherguard wrap that protects the canopy when its rolled up. Heavy duty fabric Comes with white Weatherguard for long life and great looks. It looks better and lasts longer.

The one I bought is smooth vinyl. If you are looking for one made out of mesh, I think there is another one that is mesh.

It's similar to the mesh looking fabric they make the big umbrellas for outdoor tables. Works great for us. We actually bought two.

I used UVX1. I was waterproofing a canvas drop cloth that we had painted. we used it as a gazebo cover. Worked great.I put it in a garden pump sprayer, which worked great by the way.

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:)

Roof is adequate for straight rainfall. Blowing rain will be a problem. Siding is such poor quality that there are some small gaps.

yes. I've found that the mesh ones work best with water. the vinyl backing ones work best with contact gel (Spectra 360 or the like)

Not sure if it's vinyl, but it's some kind of synthetic, waterproof material, not fabric.

You know I can tell you it's that vinyl like polyester material I think a small amount of rain it would do fine. It's thick so you would be able to take cover before it soaked through. But by company made standards I don't think it's listed as waterproof. The zip areas would be the first place water may leak.

Sorry I cannot answer the question as I have not installed the cover yet. (I leave in Quebec and spring has just arrived) The fabric does feel waterproof and I expect it will prevent rain from coming through.

The closest fabric I can come to using to compare would be microfiber. I am not sure what fabric it is but it does not feel like vinyl. It does "poof" a little when you sit down on it, but I believe that is because of it's waterproof properties.

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

I don't the reflection an issue. But did notice 2 issues with vinyl compare to paper: 1. There are waves on the background because of the weight, similar to what you see with fabric. 2. The bottom where it bends when it touches the ground, it's more reflective there and shows up. Unlike paper where you see a smooth curve.

Yes, rain will come through as this is a woven fabric. I have hanging plants on my pergola. Our patio furniture doesn't have cushions. We will replace this next season with the same product...first must get one more hurricane season out of it. Hope this helps.

There is some vinyl used as the waterproof barrier although it is covered up by a cloth-like material to protect it from damage in the dryer (use medium heat) and to add some more texture so it isn't slippery.

I haven't installed my awning yet to test it in the rain. The Fabric on mine is tightly woven and looks that water can not pass through.

The top is mesh under the rain fly. The front is completely mesh with a rain proof zip cover. No Windows on remaining 3 sides. It kept me dry in a horrible thunderstorm one time but the air flow isn't the greatest with the rain fly on.
