Is this rain-proof? I'm looking for an awning to keep my outdoor furniture dry from the rain and give me shade when it is sunny.

No! Even though it never rains in California I know it will not stop water. Basically a tight weave, lots of shade.

No, this is not what you are looking for. This is a porous fabric that will work wonders for the shade but not for water.

Yes is a rain proof, with a extreme heat gets a little soft just don't try to make this an only shade for your pet because will kill it

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

Mine is aluminum There may be some type of fiberboard in between but the exterior surfaces would tolerate dampness. Not sure how it would hold up in a downpour though.

I just had an event with pouring rain for over night. The canopy will keep it dry no dripping but it caught pool of rain on the edge of the frame and it eventually started dripping. I would still cver with those outdoor plastic table cloth just in case. The canopy is made very good quality I am very happy with it.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

No, NOT rain proof, Maybe a very light rain. sprinkle that is. This is a light duty shade product. I do love it though. The setup really does need two people. The clamps are amazing. VERy strong and well build. Pretty heavy too, most of the weight is the clamps.

The table is made of aluminum and stainless steel, so being outside would not likely result in rusting. If it is under an awning or has shelter, definitely no issues. If in direct contact with rain, I think the question is whether the wheel locks and baskets would rust/corrode. I am not sure. For the price and quality, I do think that is is worth the risk. There are also spray on items such as lacquer that you may be able to apply to the steel components to keep them from rusting. They sell it in the spray paint aisle at most DIY stores.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.

The canvas is water proof, but because of two openings the rain does get inside especially if you have an open porch. I would think if one of the openings was just a little bit smaller it might help keep the elements out.

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

I believe the rain, sun, and wind would damage it severely. You need wood that is treated and finished specifically to handle outside elements. Outdoor furniture made of Teak or Cypress tend to be built more solidly than this finely carved screen. And because of that they can hold their shape while the elements beat down on them.

The description clearly states "weather resistant" that means NO it is not water proof....just resistant to a little rain, snow and sun.....might want to use some of the weather proofing spray like they use on tents or Armorall....

Yes, but it won't keep out rain. I suppose it could be used for partial shade, though some of the sides are mesh.

I have had my awning since March over a doorway facing west at the Beach with very brutal, direct afternoon sun everyday. I see no visible signs of fading - I love this awning and for the price, I think it's a good buy. Hope this helps.

We attached the awning to the edge of an extended overhang on the back patio. It's not a deep overhang which is why we needed more shade and protection over our patio furniture. When the awning is open, it just looks like the overhang is longer. We are very happy with the awning. Hope this helps you.

It would probably not be a good idea unless it were protected better. The wood is oiled, which is water repellant enough for a kitchen, but constant exposure to weather would very likely ruin the surface and warp it. Most outdoor furniture is made with eucalyptus, teak or other naturally weather-resistant woods. This is maple, which is a poor choice for outdoor furniture.
