Has anyone had any problems on rainy days. Does the canopy leak?

Yes, if you are going to use the canopy in the rain you will need to waterproof the top. Academy and Lowe's both have waterproofing supplies. It's easy to do. You only need to do the top.

It sheds rain fine. Even in a downpour, it did not collect water and collapse, as I've witnessed other canopies do.

I have had the top on for a few months and have had zero leaks or seepage anywhere, even driving in heavy rain. Everything is dry!

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

Mine has been outside for months with no problem. If you didn't install the weatherproof grommet on the backside properly then it will leak.

I purchased 2 of the tents, the tents themselves are waterproof.....with the rain fly....it just means you can open the screens on top without rain getting in.....I purchased both tents and rain fly.....I have gone thru some pretty rugged camp in....and I have not had any leak issues

Have had no problems with rain. You sometimes get some of the residue stuck together in the bottom but that can be easily washed out.

Its rained every day since we assembled it. We have a small dripp from the seam but it took several days of rain for the drip to even appear and a drop of Gorrilla Glue on it resolved it.

We've owned our for a few months now... never has rain come through the fabric... it beads-up and rolls down. I've not had it open in a really heavy rain because of the accompanying winds that come with it. Also, I've noted that a slightly steeper angle would be better for ours. Closer to flat can result in a little bit of pooling which I think ultimately would cause some dripping. But, for the price it has very much exceeded my expectations.

I've used this tent in rain, sleet, hail and snow. Leaking has never been a problem.

The blue top you see on the tent is the "rain cover". It will not let rain in if you have all the windows closed during the rain. I have had this tent up in 2 rainstorms and have not had a leak!

I didn't find it very waterproof, it is a really fun tent for daytime use in fairly good weather, but not for the rain!

I cannot say for sure whether or not the canopy is water proof. Rain is not an issue in Southern California. However, we did have some rain after we erected the gazebo. The table and cement underneath did look completely dry afterwards. More importantly, the canopy drained well, obviating the need to push up on the edges to clear off puddles of water as with our previous canopies. The fabric has a stiff, plastic feel, which leads me to believe it would perform well in wetter climates.

Yes, I have had it in downpours. I haven't problems with water getting in. No problems with car washes either. Perfect size for my 2007 Ford ranger.

Absolutely waterproof - at least mine is - out in the elements and we have had monsoon like rain and all 4 cushions stay totally dry, no leaking at all - worth it just for that - but check Sam's!

I've used it in consistent rain and 1 downpour without issue. I removed it from my bike and dried it off once I got to my destination but never saw any indication that it would leak.

Yes,I have been through lightning storms and not a drop. I went away recently and it rained and never even thought about the tent leaking.
