Is the tarp truly waterproof?

Not in the least; leaks like a sieve. See my review. There are many better choices.

I have been in heavy rains for entire days. It hasent gotten wet inside and it sheds water real well. As a kayak-er I cant say its waterproof, it only Velcros shut but even Kleenex just stuffed in it stays dry in a thunderstorm. The top overlaps the bottom section creating a nice watershed.

I've had it for quite some time now but have never tried to see if it was waterproof. It looks very promising though and I'm sure that it is because there are rubber seals throughout the product.

No, it's not waterproof. If you must keep it dry, wrap it in a water-proof garbage bag.

I don't believe it is. It is made of nylon, so it could be made waterproof with a little camp dry spray.

I don't think so. I have only been seriously rained on once since having it and I keep a cover handy to cover my pack for those occasions ... pretty sure not waterproof but I can tell you it is an excellent pack and the frame is very sturdy. I use it for hiking camping so external frame is great. Have had it out on a least 8 trips now. Hope that helps.

Well - right now it is raining and the shelter is shedding rain with no problems. It is a fairly heavy duty tarp cover so I am guessing it will remain water resistant.

Yes it is waterproof. If properly installed, the water will roll right off no problem. If you leave too much slack in your tie strings or if the anchors pull out in heavy wind, the top canopy can begin to take on and hold water. If you see signs of it holding water, tighten the strings until it drains to prevent the top rods from bending. I say this because I installed it and it stood up through a hurricane. When my wife cut the grass, she tried to redo the anchors but failed to anchor properly, causing the roof to take on water and bent the top rods. However, never fear... I contacted Wenzel support and they sent me a like new/open boxed canopy free of charge.

Yes, actually it is very water proof. I took it camping and it rained while we were away from the tent. We came back to a small stream running underneath the tent and nothing inside was wet. Very pleased with it.

Yes, very much so. So much so that you have to make sure you set it up so that there is a constant slope in the fabric (or you will get pools of water on the top weighing the tarp down). Survived 10 day trek at Philmont with being set up and taken down 9 of those days (we were at the same site for 2 nights to make the 10th day). I would buy again.

I haven't used it outside but, yes, it appears to be waterproof or at least water resistent.

It is waterproof . My husband also sprayed a water repellant fabric spray on it too, for good measure.

I have it covering a Gazebo on my patio, doesn't leak in the gazebo, guess that makes it waterproof, stays dry.

Yes it is waterproof. I also used it to hook up a gas fire pit. Works just great!

Yes, this item is indeed waterproof as long as you make sure it has a tight seal. Thank you

Yes. The label says that the waterproof layer is made of a polyester-backed vinyl.

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.
