will the tarp allow water to pass through
316933
Most water passes through, but it will get heavy and you can see the wait of trapped water causing it to sag at times. My shade is 30x16' so the amount of trapped water (cohesion and adhesion properties of water to this mesh) does add up. But the water never pools, as the gaps are too large for that.

I have not had any issues with water getting in from the weather. I did build a nice frame to keep it from sitting directly in the ground.

No they will allow water to pass through but it has to be rather direct. most will run down the curtain.

The liner itself will not let water pass through it, but it will not stop the water from going around it if your dog happens to have enough water on them to leave a puddle.

No because the entire top is porous. To waterproof it we just bought a tarp and put it over the top. That worked great!

No, it is for temperature control and allows water and light to pass through it. It is very light weight.

I have not had it in the rain but I don't see how water could get through; however if you have wind with rain you may get wet from the sides.

All by itself the tent is not completely watertight. Testing with a brand-new tent showed that a small amount of water got in. Very good for a single-layer tent, but since I wanted an absolutely dry tent in the worst conditions, I have added a 10x12 tarp. 8 extra stakes holds the tarp down, 4 on each end. To hold the tarp to the tent, I added 2 large grommets to go over the stakes at each end of the tarp, meaning, actually, the sides. Result is a very dark and somewhat stuffy but absolutely dry tent. Oh, one more thing, I had to reinforce the tarp fabric where I put the large grommets on, by putting on a couple of layers of duck tape first before cutting the grommet holes.

Well - right now it is raining and the shelter is shedding rain with no problems. It is a fairly heavy duty tarp cover so I am guessing it will remain water resistant.

I would say that IF you fabricate a cover or put a tarp over it with a bungee to hold closed, it should be fine.

It is a tightly woven solid material. Black on the underside green on top. The water accumulates on top and doesn't run through. It is like an outside tarp.

Yes, water does come through it. I don't think there's anyway you could hang it so it would not be ruined if water accumulated in it. Your stuff will get wet under it.

The top slats are tongue and grooved so water won't go through. But, on the other hand, I would not expose the box to water. Hope this helps....Jim

I agree with Michael that the cover will keep water from seeping through but do all you can to see that it won't puddle up in the first place.

So far we have not had a problem. I wouldn't think that putting a tarp over it would interfere, because it has an open weave around it. But on the other hand, it needs to stay moist.

Floor/cieling yes, through the roof not so sure. I used my through the exterior wall and it works fine. I suppose it should wofk through the roof as long as you seal out the water/weather good.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.
