Do these shed rain or does rain go through it?

Rain goes through these, almost as quickly as if you were standing uncovered.

The shade sails shed a lot of the rain but some drips through. So the answers would be, "to a good extent" and "some". Cheers

Sheds some of it, but definitely not waterproof. You will get wet sitting under it.

Both, but mostly sheds. Since they are somewhat relaxed and not bowstring tight I am glad they allow some water to penetrate in a very heavy rainstorm. In moderate or light rain, I am dry.

yes they shed rain. the rain will come through the shade ever so slight. which is a good thing.

Not sure because I have never dropped them in the water or had them in the rain, however I do believe they would be waterproof by the way they are made. Sorry I could be of know more help to you in this matter.Regards,Terry L. Shook

I have had them up for almost two years with no problems. They have made it through wind and heavy rain storms

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 use a rain cover for mine. It can only take a minimal amount of rain (i.e. small drizzle).

Some rain does get in. But not much and only when we had torrential downpoursor all day rains.For me this was somewhat beneficial though as it helped with the compostng process.

I have never had a problem with rain, but that being said, I have a covered front porch, so typically the rain doesn't get in too much. I have seen it wet, but always worked fine.

I live on the west coast of central Florida and mine have been exposed to torrential rains and hot sun and normal rainfall and are doing just fine. These do change color a tad in the sun but I still love them. Mine took on a bit of a navy blanket green shade but still work great and look good too.

I have been through many rains, and have not noticed any water in the bed. They work great.

Up till date I've had them about 1 yr and they are placed around a flowering bed with sprinklers . I'd say they get a good amount of water splashed at them and when it rains. They've held up pretty good.

These are pretty heavy duty. Rain does NOT get through unless it's pouring and even then it just drips through at slow rate.

There are holes and water can flow through these holes. In a heavy Florida rain much of the water flows off of the shade while it feels like a very light rain under the shade. It is not designed to keep things dry.

Yes, they make a cover. No, rain does not interfere with performance. Cover is used only when it is out of season and you are not taking it down...

yes, rain (more than a mist or sprinkle) will come through. It is not waterproof like a tarp.

I would say it would shed some rain, but this is not the tent to spend time in, during a steady rain. What we did that helped was use Kiwi Camp Dry silicon spray, and now it sheds water far better. But the rain fly on this tent is quite small. Hope this helped.

For light rain, they'll be okay, for a while. For heavy rain, not really. After a year of moderate use, the tops of my bags were wearing a bit thin, to the point where they were partially see-through in a couple spots. At that point, after pretty heavy rain for ~1 hour, all of the contents were pretty soaked.Not sure if the wear-and-tear was related to leaving the bags out in the rain too much (I tied them down permanently to keep them in place better and to reduce noise, so outside parking didn't help) or if it was from infrequent near-max-capacity loads.
