Are these waterproof? Looking for something to block the rain and keep porch furniture dry.

I don't usually leave mine down, but I seriously doubt that they'd be waterproof. You might could scotch guard them so that they'd be more repellant though. They're nice blinds though; I've had mine for about a year now and they're still like new.

Somewhere in the description of this shade it mentions that though it blocks (I believe) 80-85% of the sunlight, it is still porous. If it were a pelting rain against the shade I am sure that the rain would not be totally blocked but would be atomized. (We normally try to roll the shades up when it is raining to help prevent the chances of moisture being trapped and creating mold.)

No, these are not waterproof. They may slow down a gentle rain but not a wind-driven rain.

No they will allow water to pass through but it has to be rather direct. most will run down the curtain.

I left some papers on my porch that were written with a Triplus (pink). It did smear and fade. I would definitely NOT call them water-resistant!

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

I don't have an answer for you. Sorry. I live in Minnesota. I can say, this is the second year I have kept the cushions out all summer, under the covers and they look as good as new. So they are definitely waterproof. I wish I could help you more! Good luck

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

Yes. I have them on my metal chairs outside.. If they get wet, just tip them up on edge and the water just drains right off.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.

could be suitable, size is right but they are thin - if you need waterproof, consider cutting up a felt backed vinyl tablecloth

They do appear to be waterproof or at least water resistant...I have used them for many months and they have been great. They can be wiped off if liquid is spilled on them, but they are not crinkly or uncomfortable.

Our furniture is on a covered porch. We use the cover if it's going to rain, but if we forget, the cushions will get wet. In a light rain, the water beads and can be dried off easily. If they get a little more wet, we just stand them on their side and they dry very quickly. We've had the set for more than a year and love it. The cushions will fade in the sun, but I'm not aware of any that won't have some amount of fading in sunlight.

They do say that they are waterproof, where I have put mine they will not get wet. The power supply is not water proof so you would have to find a safe place for that. If you do purchase, I highly recommend the little black clips to hang them instead of the sticky back. Good luck!

They are designed for exterior use. Mine are completely unprotected. They are holding up well but we do not get a lot of rain in San Diego.

Yes, they seem to be waterproof. We have had several rains this spring and the chairs and cushions have stayed dry.

Mine have stayed dry. Very sturdy construction. Stainless hardware. Used in the rain a fair bit and so far no problems.

No, they are not waterproof. They are made of felt material. They are good if it's dry out.

Yes, they are rainproof. They have been through numerous storms, some severe, and have not had a problem with them. Excellent cameras and excellent customer service.

If sealed tight these would keep rain and moisture out. I would not submerge.
