Rain Fly: Does this hammock come with a rain fly or do you need to buy one?

The rain fly is sold separately and is practically as expensive as the hammock itself, I'm looking into getting a cheap tarp personally.

Yes, the tent comes with a fully taped rain fly and guy lines for securing the fly in high winds.

The tent is best in the summer without the fly. If you put the fly on, youu may roast. You may want to look into a hammock with an attached bug net and carry a rainfly just in case

It comes with one... but I seriously dont recommend this model. Please see my reviews... it gets moldy easily and insects get inside.

This tent does not come with a rain fly however i spent two nights of rain in this tent and recomend spraying it with rain protectant.

The tent has an all-mesh top, so the fly provides the ventilation.May not be best if you're dealing with dirt and wind - wind is fine but the fly provides all of the covering.You may want something with a lower hanging rain fly.It is a great tent though.

Yes, it has a rain fly. The rain fly is on in the picture. I have this tent it is really nice. I like the screened in porch and big enough for two queen size air beds inside. On the porch i have two chairs, two little tables with fans which is a nice place to eat bug free.

Hello. There is no fly available. I had to double soak it with a water wicking spray. Also during expectations of heavy downpour I cover it with a tarp as just about any tent would need to be. I wasn't impressed at all with this tent. It is clearly not a 4 season tent. Well it is IF a season doesn't have wind driven sheets of rain. It does well in snow however. Summers are hot without use of a tent fan. Just my two cents worth

Hi Paul, mine bag did come with a rain cover. I have only had to use it once and at the time it worked great.

No it does not come with a rain cover. The exterior is water repellant but I always put a rain poncho over the top if I am shooting in a downpour (in Arizona that doesn't happen often but when it does it's like Noah's Ark kind of rain).

The rain fly is mainly for using so you can open the doors and windows without it raining inside. I haven't had it in the rain but all tents are waterproof. We like to open our windows so that is why we spent the extra money

Definitely has a rain fly. This thing weathered a severe thunderstorm with 50+ mph winds during RAGBRAI 2012. Had a little leakage at the seams... but we stayed dry for most of it. I'll use it again.

I bought this wonderful tent and yes, it does come with the fly. I have it up in our back yard on a deck. We put it up in march and the sun, wind and rain have done a number on it so I'm now on my second fly. They are available through a third party supplier. It's a great tent!

Yes, this tent comes with the yellow rainfly shown in the picture. I have used it in light, steady rain, and stayed perfectly dry. Great family tent!

This tent does not come with a rain fly. A big mistake in my opinion. Mine leaked like a sive the first time I used it. Coleman claims that this tent is completly waterproof and does not need a fly. Not true at all. Be prepared to spend at least $20 on waterproofing and seam sealer before you can use this tent in the rain or buying a large tarp to cover it.

This product has been highly successful since is been placed on the market. I doubt any variations if any effect the performance of the tent. If you are worried call Colman directly. Make sure you buy the rain fly cause it doesn't come with one. It's not required but if you live in Florida like me it's a must. I look at it as the tent doesn't need one, but they sell it so why not buy the added protection from the elements.

Hi Bret - In case you did not read the description thoroughly the Sky Tent does NOT include a hammock. You have to purchase the hammock or hammocks separately. The Sky Tent is a rain and bug and gear shelter FOR your hammocks. Cheers Dov
