when used on top of open wooden outdoor structure will it protect you from rain ?

The tarp is certainly waterproof. The trick is to rig it so that it is properly supported and water is allowed to run off. I used mine as an awning attached to the front of my camper. I rigged it at an angle so rain ran off and water couldn't pool in it.

I haven't tried that, but it is waterproof and I can't see why it wouldn't work. It sheds water well.

To the best of my knowledge, it is not marketed as weatherproof so I would keep it protected from the rain.

No. The canopy material is porous and will allow water to come through. In the rain I don't notice hardly any water coming through as the material sags some towards the middle. I was however surprised as to how gracefully the canopy handles the wind. Good Luck

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

I hung mine out in the open weather with no cover. Has worked well and been thru many rain and wind storms.

Unfortunately I no longer have this product. I would say yes, if you have some type of overhang. Otherwise, rain will wash it away.

The unit I purchased provides great protection from the rain. We sit under the awning at times of rain and not only does it protect us it also keeps the patio furniture dry and protected.

Yes, that is what its purpose is, outside access. That being said, I would try to put it out of the rain if I could, as well as the sun. Not that it won't handle it, but the plastic would last much longer if it were shaded and protected.

I would not put it where it gets direct exposure to rain. Mine is on the outside of a building, protected under roof.

I rather not, unless you have it shield from the rain or when it is not raining. This item is not weather-proof.

It's really not made for rain, but it will keep out a light shower & provide at least a bit of protection. It gets hot, so place it in the shade if possible.

It does. I got it to install under a trellis shelter. The top is open so I had to put a makeshift cover over the top to keep rain out.

I wouldn't recommend for outdoor use unless it was a covered area. I don't think the wood could handle any rain and it's not heavy enough to stay standing in wind or even a strong breeze.

I think it can, but I would put some kind of cover over it to protect against rain. Could be as simple as a bucket.

I have mine in somewhat sheltered areas, but yes, the covers are a vinyl type material and should protect plants from rain. I've been using these for quite a few years and the structures hold up very well, but the covers will eventually become brittle with extended exposure to the elements.

Only if it's out of the elements ( rain sun moisture) Its wooden so wet and sun would ruin it fast

I would think it could withstand some rain - however, I haven't tried that as we use a Barbeque grill cover (that also covers the light) whenever we're not using the grill.
