If left outside, will rain water leak in?

It's a possibility, it's not an air tight seal around the top parts, water could seep in pretty easily if it's enough water, I think.

Not sure about how it hadles water, I haven't used it in the rain. I did set up the main box unit under protection just in case though.

No, it is not weather tight. I do not recommend using outside. It will leak if subjected to rain.

I never leave it out in the rain, mainly because of the wind. They do suggest, however, that you can waterproof it by spraying it with Scotchguard or similar product and letting it dry before installation.

rain does not leak through at all. However if the wind is blowing and its raining I always pull the furniture away from the screened walls so things don't get wet. Yes bugs are kept out by the screening. We live in Minnesota and we have numerous bugs/mosquitoes etc and they don't come through the screening. We've had this screened house for years now and except for how dirty the trees above make it we have had zero issues with it. We do end up bleach?washing the roof every spring because of the dirt from leaves etc. Its been holding up very well.

No, I don't think so. I think I had to clip all the sides and top together so the rain would leak out...unless you use high gauge garbage bag to line it :)

The top does not allow water into the unit. The bottom however is slated and rain bounces off the deck and gets inside. Quick answer is, whatever is inside will get wet.

It depends on how you adjust the sloping inclination. When adjusted properly, rain will run off. However, if you adjust it too flat, rain just sits on the canvas and although it is waterproof, it is still porous and water will leak through eventually.

We have gotten a lot of rain and it has not leaked. Sorry, but that is the best answer I can give, but it is a very cute and well built house.

No. The box is closed all around. The lid on the front prevents rain from getting in.

No there should not be water. It is possible that the glass is allow rain water to get inside.

It would leak, unfortunately. I have mine hanging as outdoor curtains and when it rains they're pretty much soaked through but dry easily the next day.

Yes, but it still has to be plugged in. So you don't want to leave it out if it rains.

Water runs off lid and into composter. Not a huge problem, but will waterlog in heavy rain.

I've not noticed any leakage from water, but to be honest, I haven't really checked right after a rainstorm. I don't think I would trust something like this with paperwork...in most cases it would probably be fine, but blowing rain may be a different story.

Ours hasn't leaked. I just make sure I don't overfill it. I did read somewhere that you're not supposed to leave water in it. I leave water in mine though.

No. Some models do, but this one must be closed manually. If it is left partially open with the fan on low, rain does not usually get in.
