Hi Marylou-Absolutely; I have an outdoor patio shade that is constantly exposed to the weather and, after six plus months it looks perfectly fine. The use for an outdoor tent would certainly be far more benign on the material than my application.

I've only ever used this indoors, but the material seems to be a much thicker tent type cloth. I would think it would be somewhat weatherproof but couldn't say with any certainty.

Yes, I have used this product on a canvas tent, and stickiness or stiffness. Works great!

The answer is a resounding NO. The canopy needs to be waterproofed. I found this out the hard way as water was NOT pooling on the canopy...it was seeping down through the fabric and dripping onto the frame AND my art work. I plan to buy some waterproofing and give it a good treatment. Hopefully that will work. But one would think they would use waterproof fabric for the canopy. After all, what good is it if it doesn't repel water?

We used it in our grass area but never left it outside. There is tarp like material on the bottom that is durable, but you could always put down a real tarp to help protect the material. It is not as durable as a real tent but for kid play on a soft area like grass it was fine for us.

I wouldn't. Not unless you could hem both pieces after you split the canopy. It is a strong fabric, surviving snow, wind, summer sun over 100* but cutting it down the middle would open the cut ends to fraying.

I do not think so. The poles are not steady and mild wild will bring the canopy down. Mild winds and rain made this canopy fall apart. My personal opinion is that this item is not worth it, but if you want you can buy it and make your own judgement.

I would probably not keep it outside. It gets dirty easily on the cloth side, which is not easy to clean. The vinyl coating on the other side isn't too thick so it can rub off if scraped with a rough brush. I admit, I've never gotten it wet so I don't know how it would hold up. It's sturdy fabric, but not really intended for outdoor use.

Not recommended for outdoor use. Not sure the material can stand up to the outside elements.

If you are using the Coleman Sundome tent, you wont have to worry about the floor because its s plastic type floor almost like a tarp. Trust me on thst cause I was in a "monsoon" my first trip out and with high winds and my tent stayed bone dry. Still, put a tarp under it. As far as the seams, there is a rainfly which protects but if you are really concerned, get a larger tarp and use that like I did for an extra rainfly. Supposedly, though, this tent wont need it but all my friends were getting tarps for their tents and told me to do the same so I did. If you still wish to seal the seams, i would contact the Coleman company directly and ask. Putting snything on it might interfere with what is already in the material.

This is an outdoor fabric. Don't think it will work at all as a pastry cloth.

No this is just for weatherproofing something like a tent or some other camping things. So it's basically for fabric.

I would not recommend it in a tent it is not rated for tent use that I noticed.

Material is polyester but has a spring steel frame sewn into the tent. It would have to be hand washed.

Yes you can. I bought four bigger tent stakes and with paracord, tied off the four corners and staked it down. It's been out on the edge of a field subject to winds and rain for over a month....never moved.The skimpy metal pins it comes with....throw them away.

From previous customer - the best way for the fabric is to buy single or double bed sheets. You can use almost any fabrics you have in your house. I have used T-shirts for the Cat tent, used sheets with clouds for a roof, and different colors for what we were building, from boats to castles to umbrella's.

No. The tent is made to be light and portable. For use just for dog shows or indoors for a few hours. None of the fabric tents would hold up long in the weather.
