Is this 32SA (&42SA) 'Rain Curtain' better for: close & far coverage; wind loss than Rainbirds 'Rotating Streams' model (22SA)? Assuming 24' dist req

I have 32sa and it would be perfect fit at 24 feet. The stream is far stronger then the 22SA

Many panels have a specification for hail resistance that conforms to ASTM 1038. The problem is hail is so variable (size, vertical velocity, wind velocity, etc.) that you really can't know with certainty what your particular hail will be. As for protection I assume you would pull something over the panel or panels in the event of hail. Probably unnecessary. When properly installed the panels are inclined at an angle roughly equal to your latitude but small panels like this frequently find their way to the tops of RVs or other flat places where there is little incident angle. In my practical experience hail up to the size of marbles is OK. Getting toward golf balls or baseballs - you could have trouble.

I'd recommend purchasing a roll of the rubber weather strip you can find at hardware stores if you get some heavy rainstorms where you live. If you step inside the unit you'll see some light shining in small areas and that's where I would add the weather strip. Otherwise in areas with light showers like we get in San Diego-- I'd say it would be fine without the added weather strip.

Window curtain is not water proof or water resistant. 2 panels and it fits my 36" wide window perfect.

Can't help you with hot weather, we use ours on a large outside bird run. We cover it in the winter with the sheeting--in Utah were it gets really cold and the wind blows.

My xlarge would be a wrong move...and I'm abandoning Budge single ply products (like UD-2, formerly UD-3). You should look at the RainX xlarge. Their large fit over my Rav 4. And the RainX cover is far better made.

Aloha Mike I got the 24" one. i like it better because it wraps more and gives me personally better support. Hope this helps. God bless and have a God day! Kani'ala

No, not really. The US-market Rainfly barely comes down past the top of the windows and is about the same color as the top of the tent itself. In other words it doesn't provide much coverage and isn't light-colored enough to be really heat/sun reflective. And with the dark blue panels comprising most of the sides, the tent gets pretty warm in late afternoon during the South Texas summers. Oddly enough, I have found that putting up a pop-up canopy/awning (EzUp/Qwik Shade) on the west side of the tent really helps the tent stay cooler as the pop-up's shadow moves over it. I wish the US-market rainfly for the Instant Tent series had more side coverage and was a more UV-reflective color. I wish we got something more like Coleman's Australian-market rainfly - http://www.colemanaustralia.com.au/product/6p-instant-full-fly-tent/1271447?contextCategory=0102#.U1_ae_ldVws

Hi Lorraine. Don't believe everything you hear. According to their site ( http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/detail-1-1-229-726.html ) there is a rain cover on the 41 (point 5 - exterior functions).

Hi James we get a lot of wind here to in west virgina we live on top of ridge. Its a big antenna and catches a lot of wind but so far its done great. One thing I suggest is using two inch mast pipe thu. I used inch and quarter and the wind bent it some but stayed up. I'm changing mine to two inch in spring. I live 50 100 miles to stations and I regularly get 30 to 37 channels. FREE You SHOULD INJOY IT

I live in a north suburb of Phoenix. The canvas top is water resistant. I don't know about water proof. In a good year we only get about 7.5 inches of rain. The sun and wind here destroy the clothe in about 3 years. I don't know anything about a ROLSTON gazebo. My gazebo is 10' x 10'. It was part of a package deal with an above ground jaccuzzi I bought in 2003.

Either one would work I suppose. I would personally go with the 18". We also have 2' overlap with that cover for our pool and we notice it keeps more of the bugs/dirt ect. out as it leaves no room for things to get in. Helps with preventing rain water from getting in and the water getting more cold.Just a thought!

Best thing would be to close the window if the weather is really bad (like horizontal rain). Normal rainfall should not hurt it (it's mounted several inches away from the screen). It believe it will take some amount of precipitation but will probably not tolerate being doused with water. Frankly, I have never had it get soaked by rain. Not sure what 'storm guard' means but i thought that it had something to do with the plastic housing that covers the fan motor.

Yes. At least as good as a fabric raincoat. Since the canopy is a fabric (the source of its strength), the fabric stretches in places during rain storms near the lower rim so that some water accumulates in the shallow bowls formed in the canopy. We found that cutting small slits in those places removed the problem. Since they are along the outer sides of the canopy, the had no effect on the central seating area. We have sat through rain showers in comfort. Oh, sinced the slits are only 1/2 inch, they are barely visible when the canopy is dry.

Cutting down on wind is directly proportional to stress on the fabric. I can't say it cuts down wind much at all, which is why it works so well as a sun shade. My 30x16' sail showed little movement even in 30 mph winds and I was able to leave it up all summer and fall (we live in Wisconsin). My material was anchored every 2 feet on both long sides (using the eyes) so even in larger wind gusts there was still little movement or strain where the material attached to my house or the supports rods at the end of the deck.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

The windscreen is 35' long by 57" wide. Your coverage will depend on the size of fenced kennel you have. This product is only the screening.
