waterproof? The description says it resists mildew etc, so is it waterproof/ resistant? And could a waterproofing spray be applied without damaging the fabric?

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

What about snow? If I leave this around my deck will the harsh winter damage it? I live in Colorado.

this fabric allows rainwater through it, only made to cut make the intensity of the sun..

So it doesn't help at all with blowing rain? That's the real reason I was considering this fabric.

The fabric is not stain protected. We recommend using Scotchgard fabric protector spray.

I use the product on furniture and carpets and it is excellent in that regard. When I use it on my animals I saturate a cotton wash cloth and rub them with that, I have not found it to be waterproof, but I also do not leave my animals out in the rain.

It's somewhat repellant, but definitely not waterproof. Water will bead on it initially but will seep in after a minute or so.

The product is water-resistant, not waterproof. It's a great cover for keeping the, sun, dust, bird-droppings, tree sap, and fall leaves off of your paint. It's not meant as a long-term weatherproof cover, which cost a lot more money.

I could not find anything that clears states if it is water proof or water resistant. However, it is made from 100% polyester material, which many consider to be water resistant.

It's not completely waterproof. It breathes enough that my bike feels somewhat damp after it's been covered all day during a rainstorm, but there are no puddles under the cover.I don't leave the cover on for longer than ten hours at a time, though (just at my place of employment during the day) so I don't know if you'd have a mold problem if the bike was covered for long periods.

It is a water based product. If used on 'S' code fabrics (which are usually dry clean only fabrics) there would be a chance of leaving a water mark.

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

Same thing happened to me. Pretty disappointing given it was advertised as mildew resistant.

Hello,Thank you for your interest. The material itself is really close to waterproof, however we cannot claim that, therefore we can only say it is water-repellant. We do not suggest that this umbrella be used during raining and windy conditions. Also when the umbrella is not in use, please store it closed to prevent damage from winds. Hope this helps!Thank you,Formosa Covers

Depends on your climate - we had rainy days for about a week and when I brought it in the wooden post part has started to mildew (it was hanging in the shade of a tree). The woven part was fine. I just wiped bleach over the wood and white rope bits to end any mildew- it came out about 80%- still looks a little spotted. I always bring mine inside when not in use now!

It is waterproof . My husband also sprayed a water repellant fabric spray on it too, for good measure.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

I'd say water resistant. I hunted out of it in a steady rain and maybe only a drop or two made it inside. There are tiny little pinholes around some of the seams. Not a major issue. I can't speak for a downpour, that may be a different story.

I've used this product in a semi-outdoor setting. I definitely would avoid exposure to water, rain, moisture,etc. Its not a sealed unit, nor is it water proof-but it still creates a great water effect.

This is a heavy weight fabric. I made table runners out of it. I do not know if it is water resistant.
