How good is the flap for weather proofing?

It's as good as you can expect. The magnet holds the bottom pretty well unless the wind is blowing directly at it. When that happens, it's light enough that it just swings in the breeze and your room gets very cold. Your biggest concern should be insulating between the sliding and stationary glass doors. The gap between the two window panes let's in tons of cold air unless you get that sealed somehow. The rubber stripping included is OK but, not if you live where it gets below freezing. Overall - good product. Expect to customize the insulating. Good luck!

Flap is as good as it gets. The gap between the pet door and the existing door need to be sealed carefully with the supplied molding and you will be pretty pleased.

The flap isn't bad...if the weather is incorrigible, I just put the door on that closes the flap. The part that needs to be sealed well is the other side of the door where the two sliding doors overlap. Be sure that is sealed well or you will be heating the outdoors.

I honestly do not know? It would not work on my sliding door so I sold it and never installed it to find out.

This item didn't close well for me. I have returned it. I'm not sure about what flap you are referring to.

The booklet does not say it feels kind of rubbery but with screws at the back I would say it is resistant, I would not run out in a heavy rain with it. In a light rain it is probably fine? I think I would stand on the porch or under an umbrella. The 3 buttons are rubber, seems to be sealed rather well , the battery has a screw cover. But there is no information on what you are asking. try www.ambientweather.com I can say I have had no problems with my unit. It picked up winds of 21mph which is what was reported in the area at the time.

Yes! Amazon has a very thick, durable, clear flap that is made for this house. It works great for keeping out cold. I dont know about rain because my dog house is kept under a porch so the rain doesnt reach them. But it looks like it would keep out that as well

I think it looks about the same on both sides. The bad thing is the flap is useless. I hate that I ruined a door by putting this junk on it. They tell me it wasn't designed for extreme temperatures but I'm wondering why not just cut a hole in your door and forget the doggy door if it can only be used on nice days?

Hi,As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate.Hope this helps.

I don't believe it is weather resistant. Depends on how protected your porch is from wind and rain.

I also live in a windy area. I have a "Broan Nutone 636 roof cap with flap". I have not had any problems so far. Have been through a couple of storms and it has been fine.

Holds pretty well! If it drops you will probably have other issues than your flap being opened :)

The case is similar to a wetsuit material. Because the flap is not watertight it would only help if you might get a little rained on. The bag, I don't really use. I keep the camera in a camera backpack in the case.

Single vinyl flap that is magnetically sealed. Sides are solid with aluminium frame. Single glazed and not insulated.

I keep it outside and the cover works fine. It is tight enough so I don't have to worry about it blowing away. I would recommend getting it.

the flap that covers the main compartment is water proof (same material as the rest of the bag) I like the bag but prefer the closure clips to be metal (like the older models) not the current plastic.

the flap is about 5 3/4 by 6 1/4 inch. The housing dimension is about 10 1/4 by 9 1/2 inch

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

With the flap closed, I think it would be fairly weather proof. I have it installed on a porch where it's protected, so I've never really tested it out in this way, but it's a very sturdy mailbox. If a larger package is placed inside, obviously, the lid can't be closed, and then rain could certainly get in.

Not sure if it has weather-resistant components and may not offer as great a security. I'd stick to interior uses.
