will the tarp allow water to pass through

Most water passes through, but it will get heavy and you can see the wait of trapped water causing it to sag at times. My shade is 30x16' so the amount of trapped water (cohesion and adhesion properties of water to this mesh) does add up. But the water never pools, as the gaps are too large for that.

The canopy should be put up with a slight angle so water may run off. Eventually water will pass through it but at first it will pool if it doesn't have a certain slope to it.

No, it is for temperature control and allows water and light to pass through it. It is very light weight.

Some water will come through but does not act like a sieve with the water pouring though it. We will be putting ours up again this year. THIRD year for it and it is wearing well.

Yes, rainwater will get through. No it does not create a problem. You'll need a pair of sharp scissors, that fiber pad is seriously tough, but it's a good product.

No- the mesh itself is waterproof but not impermeable- rain can get through as well as air. This is actually a good thing because otherwise it would not tolerate strong wind as well as it does. I am very happy with this product for providing shade and plan to purchase another.

No. It will seep out the side. You need a diaper cover for each insert. And you'll likely need 2 inserts to keep the cover from getting super wet.

There is plastic trim --that I took off. There will be a gap but I found that no water gets out.

No, it is perforated and allows rain to come through. Also, after 6 months, high winds tore it to pieces.

It will prevent water from entering provided you have the rubber on garage door against your floor/slab even with no gaps or openings. If its pretty level you will be fine.

Yes, to let water out, breathability...and yes, water could get in. I would suggest not setting it down in standing water or where water would accumulate if possible.

Yes it can though it may weather faster and idk how it would do in rain. If you do I would use a giant tarp to put over it when done

All by itself the tent is not completely watertight. Testing with a brand-new tent showed that a small amount of water got in. Very good for a single-layer tent, but since I wanted an absolutely dry tent in the worst conditions, I have added a 10x12 tarp. 8 extra stakes holds the tarp down, 4 on each end. To hold the tarp to the tent, I added 2 large grommets to go over the stakes at each end of the tarp, meaning, actually, the sides. Result is a very dark and somewhat stuffy but absolutely dry tent. Oh, one more thing, I had to reinforce the tarp fabric where I put the large grommets on, by putting on a couple of layers of duck tape first before cutting the grommet holes.

Yes, it has several holes throughout to let rain water enter. Just to be clear, what I got is a solar cover that lays directly on the water.

Yes and no. Some water will seep in through the seems at the top. The stitching essentially pokes holes in the inner waterproof coating and water can seep in through these holes. I sealed the seams on my own with some silicone caulk.

No because the entire top is porous. To waterproof it we just bought a tarp and put it over the top. That worked great!

Absolutely! This tarp is highly adaptable to many situations, and it could serve very well as a rain fly over tents of many different designs due to its many tie-down spots. I don't think you's have any water leakage problems with it, either. Good luck and have fun! Tom
