This might be a silly question, but is the covering waterproof? I need to shelter my succulents from the rainy season.

It appears to be. It's made from some sort of reinforced plastic. When fully zipped up, it gets hot and humid inside just like a greenhouse. I live in Florida. I have it in a corner on my screened lanai but it still susceptible to rainy days and I have not noticed anything inside getting wet from the daily thunderstorms we have here.

I have mine in somewhat sheltered areas, but yes, the covers are a vinyl type material and should protect plants from rain. I've been using these for quite a few years and the structures hold up very well, but the covers will eventually become brittle with extended exposure to the elements.

Hello,Thank you for your interest. The material itself is really close to waterproof, however we cannot claim that, therefore we can only say it is water-repellant. We do not suggest that this umbrella be used during raining and windy conditions. Also when the umbrella is not in use, please store it closed to prevent damage from winds. Hope this helps!Thank you,Formosa Covers

Yes, the material is waterproof in that the rain runs off the sides, and not through. However, that being said, unless you have a very tiny table, it would not be a very dry sit during a rain storm. Nor would you want to leave a book out under it. I know, that really doesn't answer your question.

It is water resistant not waterproof....i would definitely recommend getting a rain-cover for it.

No, I think it isn't, besides it isn't advertised as waterproof. However, the material will keep your stuff dry for a while if under the rain.

It is sold as a "sun shade", and makes no claim as to being "waterproof". I gave this to my daughter as a gift, but she is in a cool climate, so she has not used it yet, and cannot tell me how it performs in the rain.

I didn't find it very waterproof, it is a really fun tent for daytime use in fairly good weather, but not for the rain!

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.

I hung mine in a patio and its partially exposed. And no, since its canvas, it's not water repellant. I cover mine and its fine.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

It is a bit water resitant, but not waterproof. During heavy rains water will seap thru but it does offer some protection. Water tends to get heavy in the middle and "leak" more in the center area than pouring thru the whole area.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

I don't live in a humid area, but the cover is water-proof and black so if mildew formed on it, at least it wouldn't really show.

Maybe water resistant but not water proof. I wrap mine in saran wrap when anticipating rain. Also have used a sandwich bag and tape the bag around the lamp area so it is not obscured.

We live in Florida and use it on a cover lanai. It shouldn't be exposed to the rain but using in covered area is fine. We cover it when there is a rain storm with wind blowing.
