When chill rain hits nylon it beads condensation INSIDE. How can this "cheater fly" keep walls from beading and soaking floor &amp; anything touching wall

not sure how, but this tent lasted through some very strong wind and rain. It stayed dry inside and was very roomy and comfortable. We had a pretty bad storm hit us last labor day while on vacation and we rode it out in this tent. I must be honest and say the two front poles buckled during the wind gusts a couple times. It was an easy fix though they popped right back out. Im still a satisfied customer

I always use a tarp on the floor INSIDE the tent to make sure my stuff stays dry. Rain collects in a puddle on the provided rain fly, just above the door, and that puddle from the rain fly can pour off into the doorway when entering or exiting during rain. I think it performs well during rain, even with the door situation.

Go dry... But if it rains on it than its no biggie.. This stuff works great and I was overly impressed. Probably any weather besides windy lol

No, it does not totally keep the rain out. It is an open weave mesh. When the rain hits, it turns into a very fine mist. I have mine tilted so that one corner is lower than the opposite corner. That way the rain runs off to that lower corner. I would say that it keeps eighty-five to ninety percent of the water from coming through. But I can't sit outside watching the rain and expect to be dry. It really works great for keeping the sun from melting your head.

You put the screen on the inside.The vents on the outside deflect the rain from coming in. I use mine inside the regular window screen for extra privacy (live on 1st floor) and mostly to keep my lunatic kitty from clawing her way through the nylon screen. If you put the vents inside during heavy rain it will just funnel it into the house.

Our charge controller is mounted inside a storage locker so it stays dry. Once the panel had been in service for a few days, I taped some plastic over the electronics area on the underside of the panel to help keep water out. Months later I added a bead of clear caulk around the frame, for the same reason. Figured it couldn't hurt.

There are ducts at the top back for a replaceable charcoal filter, so it's not rain proof unless you seal that part.

We have ours outside "sort of" protected from the rain. Works like a charm (so far--had it over the winter).

I have dirty neighbors and it has kept them out. Just spray along all baseboards between you and them real good each time you spray.

I bought some weather treated ply wood cut to the size of the bottom and over laid some rubber matting. It has 4 or 6 anchor points so I anchored it at every point through the mat and the wood. It's been raining and gusting wind up to about 50 MPH and it hasn't moved or leaked.

We have ours hanging over our deck. It is woven material that does have gaps between the 'threads'. However, it doesn't necessarily fall uniformly through the cracks, ours tends to primarily pool in the middle and then drip through there. We have it mounted level at the 4 corners. I suspect that if we mounted at an angle that most of the rain would shed off the edge.

That amount of rain....Yes...you might also consider sealing the floor some how too

I have it stuck on everything, including my nylon trunk box. It has been hit with rain and road splashes, and seems to stay put. I have not ridden in driving downpours, but believe that this stuff would not be affected by such rain.

Sorry, but I don't have the answer to your question ... just a guess. How about spraying with Static Guard?

You need to waterproof it if it is outdoors where there is a lot of rain. Cellophane works great.

The walls are kind of a nylon/canvas and are about 1/2 inch thick. I don't think air gets through the walls, but there are two openings, covered by plastic that swings either way. Since I keep this on my porch, it stays dry. The coolest temps here get in the 20's, so it's fine for most cold nights, but I keep a warming lamp nearby as well for the coldest nights. I don't think I would recommend this for bitterly cold temperatures.

It's not rain tight and it has a fan. I would recommend having it inside some sort of building and splicing into the line going out to the pond.
