waterproof? The description says it resists mildew etc, so is it waterproof/ resistant? And could a waterproofing spray be applied without damaging the fabric?

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

What about snow? If I leave this around my deck will the harsh winter damage it? I live in Colorado.

this fabric allows rainwater through it, only made to cut make the intensity of the sun..

So it doesn't help at all with blowing rain? That's the real reason I was considering this fabric.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

It is touted as "rain resistant" NOT rain proof nor water proof. We keep ours on the front porch which is open to blowing rain and no problems. I think if one left it out in a 2 or 3 inches of rain day it could be affected. So No its not waterproof, just water resistant per the manufacturers instructions.

It hasn't leaked on me and I have used it for years under virtually all conditions. If I ever got wet it was either from condensation dripping off of the fly through the screen or trying to get in and out of the Solitaire in the rain.You can spray the fabric of the rainfly with "Scotchguard" water repellant. If that is not sufficient I think you could probably use the seam sealer liquid to coat the fabric.

It does not advertise that, but based on the material, it should be waterproof. It's not the mesh or fabric that absorbs the moisture.

I wouldn't go as far as saying waterproof. Water-repellent is more like it. It will definitely keep dry in a light rain, but not if you're out in it for hours or caught in a torrential downpour.

It isn't made from waterproof fabric. If you wanted to use it to be a waterproof bag I would spray it with carhart waterproofing spray. I imagine it would work just fine after that.

I havent had a chance to use it when it has been raining or tried soaking it in water :-). But it looks to be waterproof or water resistant though.... If it has some issues i will post it up here on that...

I assume you want to know if it will wash off in rain, right? Haven't tried it myself, but I THINK it would be safe outdoors (it's certainly nontoxic, another concern); you might want to coat the surface with a clear coat like a spray enamel after it dries. Hmmm.... That's a really good question! You might try the company folks directly, too. They're really nice, friendly, and helpful.

This thing is not waterproof even to the least bit. Even with seam sealing if it rained you would get completely soaked. This thing is as porous as a sheet of computer paper. Maybe if you seem shielded and sprayed it with a waterproof spraying it would do okay but even then I would want to hang a tarp of some sort over it just to be safe.

It's not waterproof, but I've biked in the rain with it (not on purpose of course LOL) and it's held up just fine. It's not slippery fabric so you don't slip and slide on it. It dries pretty quickly too.

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.

I am sure at some point it could get mildew but for now it is fine and dries quickly to help prevent mildew. Since the shower does remain wet as long as it does with the use of a plastic curtain it seems to cut done on the possibility. I think it works just fine, no problems at this point.

Hi! This is a plastic curtain shower, so it's waterproof. You will not regret buying it, I have it since a couple of months and still looking fine. :) regards.

Yes it's waterproof. You would wipe it clean. I wouldn't put it in the washer.

It's certainly water resistant, albiet not waterproof. It usually last me multiple days (3+) - I just try not to get it super wet if possible. Pat the water off after you shower and let air dry completely before covering with clothing. It also lasts longer if you shave the area before application.

I would guess that it is not water 'proof' - maybe best described as moisture-resistant. It would depend on the amount of liquid, whether it soaks through. It is machine washable though.
