Does it take long for the fabric to dry after the rain? Thanks!

It does not. I was frustrated it didn't get put away. It was soaked through and yet it kept its good looks and dried out just find.

I think it would, as the fabric is fairly thick. We have it set up to clip/unclip easily from where we hang it, and we bring it inside our workshop when it's going to rain. I do like the fabric though - it gets warm and cozy inside the chair when the sun's on it, which is nice considering that we don't live in the warmest climate (Seattle, WA). In a hotter climate, it might be too warm.

I left it out in the rain few times. if its sunny or windy, it dried completely in a few hours. If stays damp out, much much longer. But I have habit to not leave it out side. will last 10x longer if you don't let the sun eat it up or the rain.

No. It's cloth but I've carried it in the rain before and it hasn't gotten soaked through or anything.

Closest we ever got to rain was wet grass and it stayed dry. But I don't think the design would stay dry in actual rain. It's a very open design and would get wet inside I think.

This fabric, after washing, will be soft and 'drape-y'. However, it is not as sheer as a batiste or gauze or chiffon; all of which will also puddle and wash well. Do you anticipate the need to launder the canopy fabric from time to time? If so, stick with softer cotton or cotton/poly blends. The fabric you are referencing in your question comes in 2 yard pre cut lengths. Is that an ideal length for your project?

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.

It is somewhat. I use it for my Doxie when it rains. She hates to go out then. But the umbrella fabric isn't really (at all) very thick. I wouldn't leave it up very much.

It will dry It, However it will not dry it quickly , Probably 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. With that said I am Very Happy with my dryer but i mostly use it for lighter cloths and just hang up heavy blankets and towels on a nice day. Hope that helps. SEEMaybe even longer if this is a heavy blanket, This isn't a quick dryer, But sure beats going to the laundrymat

Yes. We set this tent up in the backyard when we received it and that night there was a heavy downpour. It was dry inside the next day. Great tent!

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've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.

I used it in the rain without the rain fly with no problem. Was it a downpour? No. Just some typical NE weather in the Summer, and I was bone dry in there

Not sure how quickly it dries - never wore it in the rain. But it is very lightweight.

Yes. I just took this tent out over the Memorial Weekend. It rain all weekend. We were warm and more importantly -DRY. I took the tent home. Set it up. Swept it out. It is ready for the next trip. Totally worth every penny spent on it.

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

No but I hang it dry, not for any particular reason but it drys so quickly. Great Skirts I have 3 of them now.

I have used it in several heavy downpours here in Florida and while the back does get a little wet, the gear has always stayed dry. I wouldn't expect it to work in heavy rain for several hours, but it's stayed dry in heavy rain for up to an hour for me.

I agree with Amzoony, it would definitely dry faster outside, although it wouldn't be easy for me to take it in and out! And I thought it would be hard to do sheets on it, especially inside, you'd have to do one sheet at a time over the entire thing!
