No , the the material is like thinner umbrella fabric, that is not water proof. I got caught a few times in the rain and the water accumulates towards the bottom of the roof on all 4 sides and leaks through the material. I gave my tent away after probably 5,6 uses in 2 months, after one of the frame parts broke on the top structure. It literally broke, not detached, or screw came out. If you're looking for a more durable frame for that price, get a QuickShade, I had that one too, it's better quality and lasted a long time. Or save a little more and buy a Caravan or EZUP

No, not the water proof, thick plastic like a tarp. It appears to be a "water resistant", poly blend, similar to a polyester shower curtain. Typical shelter material. The windows are a heavier plastic material. The front and back zippers do not separate at the top.The walls have velcro strips that you wrap around the top of the frame and the legs.Be prepared to do some mending! My walls had un-attached and missing pieces of velcro which required purchasing velcro and sewing the velcro onto the walls.I do not recommend purchasing this product, I encountered structural problems as well, that required "rigging".

Hi Tammy, I have one of these, bought it late in the summer for this fall hunting season. The fabric is a kind of canvas type, heavier than some of the other, black on the inside, very durable....I've had it in the woods for 2 1/2 months now and very pleased with the ease of set up and tear down. Not sure what your looking for but I am extremely happy with the purchase. I'm a big guy 6'3" and I fit in it very comfortably in my fold up canvas beach chair.Lee B.

Hey an ordinary tarp is heavy canvas (great for covering a pile of firewood or a lawn mower) The Noah's tarp is light weight 2# for the 12' X12'it has lots of tie out points and does come with a storage bag. I love mine as it can be set up as many ways as you can think of. Material is nylon. If you are a backpacker there are lighter tarps out there, but way more $$$

I purchased this tent about six months ago. Tent does have a lightweight floor (like the material tent walls are made from), not a tarp. Hope this helps!

Lisa, It looks like nylon, like tent material. It seems durable my 10 yr old and 1.5 yr old chase crawling through it. Hope that helps, I would buy it again. Vickie

normal nylon tent material. We didn't notice any smell but I would expect a few hours in the fresh air should take care of that.

I'm not sure what materials you are asking about, but everything is included that you need to set it up. The only thing I would recommend buying in addition would be a lot of small bungees. There are grommets to attach the tent cover to the poles every few feet, but it only comes with a few bungees. Additional bungees will keep it taught and help the tent weather the elements much better. By the way, we LOVE this tent.

I think it's vinyl, but it's very, very thin. Don't expect it to last more than one season, if that. We're going with a tarp and rope this year.

Mine looks like the photo but the way these type of items are manufacured and shipped every run may not be exactly the same. That being said my wife and I feel like the tent was a good purchase. My 2yr old loves it! Ive had an easy time returning items back through Amazon when necessary so thats always an option if the color is that important. :)

The bottom is minimal ( I think 1000 mm), but with any tent a sharp twig or rock could puncture the material. You really get what you pay for with this tent. I would invest in a nice footprint/ground cover if you do go with this tent. You can get some decent ones that are light and protect the tent flooring from debris and water. I used this tent for winter camping and it worked well, but you don't get the nice features of a more expensive tent (i.e. snap together connections for your poles, fly and doors and a thicker floor).

Who knows...the company hasn't been helpful with me never responded to emails...the material seems OK..u better go get some real long tent stakes otherwise it will blow over

It is more like the fabric you would find comprising a tarp to be honest. It is a very nice quality.

its not plastic but its not burlap either, its some sort of synthetc canvas, very strong but not tear proof, I tore mine trying to flow water off of it after a rain storm, but it was very heavy and I was applying a ton of force on it. Good tarp for storage not so great for towing...

Mine are a canvas type of material not plastic-y at all. I got them back in January, super pleased with them.... use them for storing my newborns clothing.also not sure if they changed it but when I ordered mine it had the same material covered board in the bottom already...? Not sure what happened with the other answerer's purchase but it should come with matching cardboard bottoms. I would email amazon if it doesn't as it should be considered defective.

yes, they are. The material they were made of was more 'plastic-ey' than I anticipated but that way I am sure they will hold up longer. Soft and fold-able like cloth. Maybe kind of like a light tarp. But these are the pictures they had on them.

yes, like a vinyl tarp material. great place to leave your shoes, etc. kids love it and so do I!

I've already thrown away the box it came in so I can't be sure of the exact material. However, it is not a tarp-like material or plastic. It is also not canvas similar to sunbrella. It is a synthetic in between. So far I have not seen any degradation of the material itself and my only complaint continues to be the narrow fit over the beam. If I stumble upon a tag that tells me exactly what material it is, I'll post it on here.
