can this keep out sand and water ?

It can probably keep out sand if it was completely zipped. It doesn't seem as if it was waterproof--maybe water resistant, but I definitely wouldn't expect it to resist more than a few drops of water.

I would only use for beaches. It's very thin. Keeps out sand. Drys quick. And easy to shake off sand. Also very light and compact.

From what I see it will do a great job blocking the sun but it is not water proof just water resistant. Hope this helps.

Not really. It repels water somewhat but if someone got a large amount of water on it eventually it would soak through

Absolutely not. There must be something on the back to hold it in place.I did not go with sand or water. Instead, I placed bags of topsoil on the base. It works just as well and much easier to remove if needed.

Hi, It will keep everything locked up, but it will not prevent moisture. Air will come in from the sides.

I would think so, it is held down by sand or pepples to hold it in place. I did not ure it yet, just read the instructions.

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.

Yes.If you research the manufacture there is some great info.Also if there is a lot of sand in the water it could affect the filters,you could look at installing sand filter

that could possibly work.. but I don't see how you could keep it from getting wet... our away from the elements

Yes it can. Just used it at the shore in Delaware and the Dog got in wet and protected the seats. Keeps the snacks the kids drop off the seats. One thing I did notice was some of the sand got through the holes for the seatbelts when the dog bounced around looking out the window. Not a biggy but worth mentioning.

Feels like sand. But water does not get to the contents. Very easy to put on and off.

Underneath is a little cross bar I guess you could put sandbags on it to keep it from flying away in a high wind area

I have it outside on my garden porch. It is partly covered, but water blows in. It seems to protect my gadgets and wipes off fine.

Yes. The substrate is made of small granuals though not as small as sand. It also contains ALOT of silt. I would recommend rinsing until the water runs clear... You will be glad you did.

It does block rain somewhat...it's not solid and if the rain is blowing towards the the shade the deck gets wet within a foot of the shade. Hope that helps.

yes, it can keep rain out. keep in mind that there are fasteners that have to go through the strip making a hole and that the surface the strip is touching must make a good seal.
