How well does this keep out the rain?

Great for shade but the opening is much to large to keep out rain especially if the rain is paired with wind.

The roof does not cover the floor, the floor sticks out a few inches further. So if it rains you will get water inside. It is only a sun and wind shelter, not rain

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

I've had some pretty good rains to walk through so far, and nothing inside gets wet. The tech zipper has a cover over it for extra protection. I've been impressed with it thus far!

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

We are using 2 and have a third one waiting to be installed, planning on ordering one more. It does work in the rain, have not had any issues with it.

Somewhat rain proof- depends on how bad it rains. When we put the cover on it stayed pretty dry but not perfect :) My 3 kids love it twin 3 year olds and a 5 year old :)

I've only experienced light rain over it while using an umbrella, but it held up pretty good. It was wet in the outside and dry inside.

As long as it is pulled tightly, it keeps my patio dry. Mine has been up through many showers and the patio underneath had stayed fairly dry. Of course, it does get wet around the edges when the wind blows the rain under. Also, you need to be sure to have it tilted slightly to let the rain run off.

I've had it for about a month or so. The cover is enough for me. I live in GA and the rain is all I have to worry about.

We have ours outside "sort of" protected from the rain. Works like a charm (so far--had it over the winter).

We have gotten a lot of rain and it has not leaked. Sorry, but that is the best answer I can give, but it is a very cute and well built house.

It works well in the rain as long as you use the provided ropes to tie down the rain cover. If you dont, water will collect between the frame and rain cover and could cause a problem

I have had this extended in rain and it was fine. It would not be good in a heavy downpour or with strong winds.

I have used this to cover against torrential tropical rain and it has been absolutely fine.

It will keep you mostly dry ;-). I live in Texas so if we get caught in a rain storm in the summer, we will get just as wet from perspiration. The material is waterproof and the seams don't leak. Be sure to put the hood up. Bnowlin48

It is fine in the rain. It utilizes o-ring seals to keep the internals dry. I use it nightly walking the dog and could not be happier with it.

Dust will intrude. Its not that tight, it is just tight enough to keep rain out. It will withstand the wind however.
