would this be ok sitting in the rain? I want to use it camping and plan to keep it between our tent and the site power.

It is all plastic and would be okay. I was using the 100 ft heavier cord that I got from Amazon being used with a Toro Blower/mulcher. Dealing with the heaver cord on this reel was just too much for me. Now I wind the cord the old way, around the elbow and hand. I t would be okay for camping.Dan

The reel is hard plastic, so rain shouldn't pose a problem for it. However, I would suggest making sure your cord(s) connections are protected from the rain and dripping water.

There would definitely not be a problem with the reel itself sitting in the rain. however, I would question if it was okay for the extensive electrical cord to be left out/plugged in during the rain. Better check with an electrician on that one.

Its got sum waterproofing on it ,you can tell bcuz wen i was camping w/this particular tent u could see the raindrops run off a lil bit ,but there is so much stitching in my opinion that there wasnt enuff coating of water proof .if i were u i would jus buy the canvas type teepees bcuz i actually been in one and it stays completely dry,but u hav2 hav a fire going for it to stay that way when it is raining .

This tent is great for back-backing - it's super light-weight and compact. I can't speak to how it holds up in the rain, as I have never used it in the rain; but it held up just fine to the marine layer fog in Big Sur the last time I went camping. Hope that helps!

Hello, I purchased the tent for our daughter with autism. Works great for that but I don't know about the rain. Sorry.

We used ours at the coast last year and it rained during the first day. It was a misty rain, nothing really hard but it was steady. Everything in side seemed fine. I would bet it couldn't handle a downpour for an extended period but most tents will eventually leak if it rains long enough. It should handle a summer rain.

If you are in low wind conditions, the tent sits just fine by itself but it is a light tent that would easily be blown away in high-winds. I've used 550 cord or zip-ties on occasion to secure the tent to the cross-bars at both ends of the cot through the tent's grommets. The rain fly clips onto the tent at the corners and there are additional nylon loops on the rain fly for blustery days. I have rarely had to secure the tent though. My gear is usually enough to keep it in place. Hope this helps.

Patricia,there is full rain fly for light to moderate rains; i wouldn't use the tent during extreme downpours without additional protection.Irina

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

Yes its waterproof... the issue though is you will sweat in it. If your going to Africa, try a lightweight hammock with a tarp for element protection. I would not recommend this for hot weather if you want to be fully enclosed. It does not have "bathtub" flooring that goes up the sides, so if your site gets flooded, I am not sure how this will hold up. Again, in the jungles and hot areas, I would strongly suggest you invest in getting OFF the ground completely, then with paracord and a tarp create a weather barrier.

I think it is ok for normal weather. If there is light rain then cover with a umbrella, and don't plug the power. It came with rechargeable battery for the LED light, so charge it at night if needed. The table surface is waterproof.

light rain yes, heavy rain no. This tent is a good value for the money. My scout troop bought twelve tents and so far so good, we are pleased especially for the price.

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

Yes. It rained the trip I used it, and no rain got in. The floor is waterproof and integral to the tent. However, you have to zip the door completely closed to keep the rain out.

I wouldnt have a problem in a camper but a tent has a different rating. It is a very protected face although it puts out a lot of heat you don't see the elements. I personally would use it but it would be your call.

Yes. This is about as light as you will get for a moderately priced tent that will actually keep you dry in rain and wind. Replace the steel tent stakes something lighter. Figure out a lightweight ground cloth. The floor is relatively thin.

If you are trying to find out, if this could be used in the RAIN? the answer io NO! all OUTDOOR electrical related items, have to seal so that no water gets into the electrical connection.... this item is not set up for that.... but if you are looking to use it in a DRY outdoor event.... you will be fine!

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.
