Does this awning repel the rain very well, or is it easily saturated and water soaks through when it rains? Thank you!

I installed it under cover so water isn't an issue. The awning is very good quality and I think it would repel water. hope this helps........

It repels water well - I have been very happy with this awning; I live in Florida and it rains a lot! It is my only protection at my front entry as I unlock the door.

This is a really great awning in looks and functionality. It definitely repels the water and looks good doing it. We have two awnings and are very happy with our purchase.

It repels water very well! We've had some very heavy rains and it hasn't soaked through at all. It truly keeps the stoop dry. I was impressed by the quality of this awning when the price was so reasonable. I love it!

The water just beads off and runs down the slope of the awning. We put it over a door on our garage and it has kept the water out of the garage where it used to blow in when it rained.

I have had the awning just this summer season, and it has due south exposure, but so far there is not even the slightest bit of fading. I am really very happy with it!

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

Well, here we arrive at the classic discussion of water resistant vs. waterproof. I can tell you that I would consider this waterproof. This past fall we used this sunshade at our son's football game. Just after we got the canopy and sunshade up a pretty heavy rain started and dumped for more than an hour. The shade didn't leak at all during that hour and kept us dry and warm during the downpour. Can't speak to how it would perform for more than an hour, but I was impressed with how dry it was during the heavy rain for that time frame.

I wouldn't recommend it for rain at any condition. I live in San Diego we don't get rain often but I was out at a craft show and it rain on us. My items were protected from rain but I would not trust it anyways. I bought my canopy over a year ago I've used it ones a week since, it's getting ready to be replaced. The appearance of it is awesome I would say the material it's made of is not one of those heavy duty ones. If you do decide to purchase this item make sure you get your self a heavy duty storage bag because the one it comes in does not last at all. Hope this helps.

It is not waterproof, it is like a heavy mesh or screen and intended to provide shade only. Look at fabrics for awnings, those are more like a canvas and are usually waterproof.

The unit I purchased provides great protection from the rain. We sit under the awning at times of rain and not only does it protect us it also keeps the patio furniture dry and protected.

Nothing got wet so far. Had it for two years BUT, when there's big wind storms the bottom door has opened up. Maybe 3 times since I had it. I have it against a wall.. not much rain gets there... so not sure how it would work out if it's right in the middle of the yard with rain on top of top of it. I use it for cooking... just wheel it close to the sliding door so I can get in and out of the kitchen. When I'm done, I tuck it against a wall out of the way. Love it :)

No, it does repel water, but during a good rain it will go to the low point and run thru eventually

This is my second year of application and I put it down today and we are getting some nice rain. The jury is still out on its full function, but the tree did look healthier. We still had some borers but the tree is large and I am hoping with continued use it will be effective. The dry is certainly easy to apply and either way I would want to water it in so ensure animals did not get in it. Hope this helps. I simply waited until I knew it was going to rain.

Water resistant might be a better description. The roof will repel rain and the wood is treated but there are joints and gaps that will allow water in if sprayed directly or perhaps via splash back. I had to replace the supplied roof materials due to shipping damage and went with much better components. Haven't had rain yet so we will see how it holds up.

I have mine under the awning and we haven't had a problem with moisture. I don't think it's water resistant.

I have no idea. I'm sorry. We bought it thru Amazon - it was delivered to the door & we sprayed it on an awning that covers our deck. It's worked great so far. The awning is even beginning to deteriorate on the side flaps (decorative) but the top where it was treated with the Aqua Armor is still leak & seep free. Our home imporovement project for 2015 is to enlarge our deck, at which time we will no longer have an awning over it - we will build a regular roof. I'm sorry i could not answer your question.

We camped for four days, two of which we experienced heavy constant downpours. With a tarp underneath, it held up well. The fly does not go down the sides at all, so you must be very very careful to not allow anything to touch the sides or it will leak. Also, the little stow pockets on the side will leak if you have anything in them during rain. It was only moderately windy and it held up well.

I've left it up year round. It doesn't divert rain, the water seeps through easily, but it's more hassle to remove every season. I don't think it affects the patio temperature in any way because the material is not that thick. It works great in blocking out the strong sun on a bright day. I believe I've gotten my money's worth.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I used this on an outdoor permanent awning that is sealed to an aluminum frame bolted to the house & deck - bought this product June of 2012, applied it in July 2012 and right now (as of this response) it's March 2014. It is still effective. the one & only time that it really did not perform was when it rained for 2 days straight. Nearly 14 inches of rain (Middle TN we GET that much rain...) Everything everywhere was soaked. I would buy this again. It performed better than expected as it looks like milk when it comes out of the bottle. We applied it with a roller.
